It has taken a long time... Don't follow me as my interests are so varied I'll just confuse you and even the bots will get bored.

Let's not lose sight of how abnormal this is. Trump is demanding prosecutions over Reflecting Pool fiasco even though his own DOJ has shown conclusively it isn't supported by facts or law. On the pod, @barbmcquade.bsky.social is brilliant on the bigger stakes here: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Trump’s Fury at Reflecting Pool Mess Darkens as Damning New Leaks Hit

As Trump’s effort to jail people over his failed renovation starts looking even worse, a former federal prosecutor explains why this corruption of DOJ is so dangerous—and how to fight back.

Former challenger Mallory McMorrow: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

A red-capped robin landed right in front on me on the handle of a rusty old lawnmower down at the creek on the farm. The pretty background is due to aloe flowers. I spent a lot of time at the creek and saw this robin several times.

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

Set aside that Juicebox Jeanine is Trump's friend, who talked him into pardoning her ex. The US Attorney, who should NEVER have contact w/WH at all, was just in the WH for hours, not defending rule of law, but proving her loyalty v. Burgum. Reason enough Blanche shouldn't be confirmed.
