Judge Sullivan ordered Todd Blanche to comply "by no later than July 2, 2026" with the provision of unredacted documents and other important items in the Epstein Files. It's July 1. Let's see what today brings in terms of Blanche's attempts to appeal, etc. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: SCOTUS eliminates campaign finance limits, allowing dark money to flow directly to political candidates. Billionaires and political parties now have a blank check, right before the midterms and beyond.

So henceforth and forever more, it will be completely accurate—and utterly inactionable under the common and constitutional law of defamation—to state the following fact: DONALD J. TRUMP IS AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST.

Say hello to Peppercorn, a wild Florida panther kitten that was rescued after being abandoned by her mother, and is now doing well at the Naples Zoo in Florida.

Donald Trump has already paid this $5M sum into a deposit account held by the United States District Court. E. Jean Carroll will receive her money shortly, after the SCOTUS clerk's office issues that Court's final judgment.

youtu.be/XCX2o7zOzg8 The sounds of my childhood age 11. Detroit went crazy over this phenomenal double album when it came out. “Sir Duke”, “Isn’t She Lovely” and “I Wish” became standards often heard on radio and taught in music classes. Excellent music and musician.

Have writing assignments in class with pen and paper with no digital gear allowed. You get clear results and students do the work and learn. Universities need to make a hard shift in this direction now. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

Excellent offering this summer from #FieldNotesBrand

Hottest June day on record in the UK 🇬🇧 on Wednesday. 36.0C (previous 35.6) but final number may be higher. Records go back to 1880’s. Very good chance it will be higher tomorrow. Same for France 🇫🇷 , up to 44°C in the west and a June record of 40.3 (105 F) in Paris. 🥵

I can’t tell anymore if we’re talking about Iran or algae.

Do you see a pattern here?

Tuesday's forecast is worse than Monday's. For those that are Celsius-challenged, 42 °C = 108 °F. But this isn't a desert, and the humidity will make it feel much hotter. Truly life-threatening stuff in France and many parts of Europe right now. #France  #Heatwave #HotEurope

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Have a happy Martini Friday 🍸, meaningful Juneteenth 🕊, and reflective Solstice Eve ☀️.

What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another? Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms. #ChangeIsComingNovember3rd

Trump spent the entire entirety of his 2nd administration trashing Jerome Powell to get him out as fed chair because he refused to lower rates. Now it looks like Trump’s new fed chair is going to implement a rate hike because of Trump’s disastrous war. 😂 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Coral reefs are often framed as ecosystems we're losing. But what if some are built to endure? Scientists have now mapped 165,000 km² of reefs with the strongest chance of surviving climate change—offering a rare window of hope.

It’s Furry Friends Friday!! ♥️🐾 It was a tough week for me. Lots of big emotions & physical exhaustion. But, I made myself take a few minutes to just go outside, walk, and breathe. It definitely helped. Find joy wherever you can, whenever you can. Lucky wishes you an amazing and restful weekend.

Hi, the reflecting pool already has algae in it. Best renovation ever.

We know you have a lot on your plate, so this is coming from a place of support... Use 'Scot-free' instead of 'Scotch-free.' Use ‘shoo-in’ instead of ‘shoe-in.’ Use ‘piqued my interest’ instead of ‘peaked my interest.’ Use ‘case in point’ instead of ‘case and point.’

Who said it best?

"Netanyahu’s arrogant insistence that Israel needed the support of only right-wing Republicans, permitting him to ignore bipartisan American opinion and legitimate concerns of American Jews, was a stupendous miscalculation."

A war crime and also strategic nonsense. Millions of Iranians are short of water — and the entire region depends on desalinization facilities that Iran could destroy. If we strike water facilities and they respond in kind elsewhere millions of lives are at risk. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...
