tЯump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the tЯump family and tЯump is 100% on Russia's side now. This is blatant corruption...

Trump in 2024: I "was never on Epstein’s Plane". Trump DOJ 5 years ago: "Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)". Stop breaking the the law. Release ALL the Files.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

I'm an advocate that dinosaurs were likely plump and fluffy (like birds) rather that smooth, sleek, and muscley (like lizards). Here's my guess of what Tyrannosaurus rex might look like, little arms totally obscured by floof.

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials. Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:

Just got this in email; Trump says if I want my "Tariff Check" I need to click on WinRed and give him money. Isn't this how the Nigerian Prince scams work? Just asking... Check it out here: secure.winred.com/never-surren...

As we grow older, “loss becomes the primary condition of living,” Nick Cave says. “That doesn’t mean you’re in a hopeless, grief-stricken state all the time; it just means that you carry a deeper understanding of what it is to be human.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/d8fWda

Badass little tree at Headlands State Park, OH.

Massie said we’ll know it worked when powerful men face consequences. Until then? Read the names‼️

AI is a lot like this.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has concluded "regular forces" means the military, and has therefore ruled that Trump does NOT have authority to deploy the National Guard under §12406. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Schumer: The law was written very clearly, and it did not allow all these redactions—this blacking out of everything. It did not say you can dribble them out over a period of months. These guys are full of shit. They should simply release it all now.

@onbakerstreet.bsky.social Team horned toad!

It's still up for viewing as of just a few minutes ago, but I've heard the administration is working to have them all taken down.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.

Good morning! 🪶

Julie has been covering this longer than most. The DOJ is not following the law. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

Kevin Hassett on Trump publicly pressuring a range of corporate executives to do what he wants them to do: "In the end, he believes in free enterprise"

Trump: “I was never on Epstein’s plane” AUSA: “Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously reported, including during the Maxwell charging period”

No, you can’t do that, airhead. It’s not within your authority and it violates several laws.

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

We’re heading into the summer now! #artadventcalendar #robin #bird #photography

Hey, it's my print debut for National Geographic! This fall, I got to accompany folks from the Fort Worth Zoo on an incredible adorable mission: releasing tiny Texas horned lizards to new lives in the Hill Country. (You will want to click on this one, trust me. The photos are adorable.)

Long shadows at solar noon on the #Solstice. It’s as tall as I’ll get all year. Tomorrow there will be 4 seconds more daylight than today! 🌞 (1/2)

Not usually a poser, this Ridgway’s rail came out to take a bath. #Birds #BolsaChicaEcologicalReserve #Nature #Photography

You rang?

TRUTH. For example, finding an eye-witness account of the Burr-Hamilton duel that seemingly no one else has found… I didn’t move for hours. Made it into my dissertation. Into my first book. And into the Hamilton musical. Research, man. Nothing like putting the pieces together for the first time.

Do any of the Trumpers even get that trying to do a hostile takeover of Greenland is essentially declaring war on NATO?

"Blanche... was a cryptocurrency investor with holdings of between $159,000 and $485,000, records show." About a month into the job (before divesting as required) he issued a memo that ordered an end to crypto investigations launched under Biden. His memo said they would help crypto. #Pinks
