Tonight's Gala dinner in the Brittania dining room: seafood thermidor tart with sauce bisque; duck mousse with Madeira poached cherries; fillet of beef Wellington; vanilla lemon soufflé with Limoncello sauce

My spats in particular are drawing a lot of comment. 😂

Ex-Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan's sentencing has been postponed. Instead, a federal judge will hear oral arguments on a recent appellate precedent that Dugan argues should land her a new trial. The judge appears to be taking it seriously enough to grant arguments reconsidering his previous denial.

The Talarico ads are pre-made The Republican Party has deleted their ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime: "Homicides highest in nearly 30 years under Ken Paxton." Paxton is now the GOP's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

OMG, the adorable and incredibly talented Tobias Turley is actually taller than I am, and I'm 6'2"...

Rainy, windy, and cold out on our fifth day at sea en route to New York

Tonight's dinner in the Brittania dining room: codfish cake; roasted duck breast and pork belly with potato mille-feuille, parsnips, and cauliflower puree; and a caramel-pecan tart

A 3-judge panel (including 2 Trump appointees) just issued a preliminary injunction against the new Alabama map that eliminated a majority-Black district, writing, "We cannot understand the 2023 plan [which AL is using] as anything other than intentionally discriminatory."

Wonder if it was Aileen Cannon. Regardless, private reprimands are BS. The public should know which judge did this.

UFC as in the Ultimate Fighting Championship league, or whatever? Why is there a *UFC* event at the *White House*? Why are they doing construction on the White House for it? Is the White House now available to be rented out for parties and weddings, too?

It is beyond believe that ICE agents who have murdered Americans are still allowed to pepper spray a Senator. When do we say enough? My god America this agency has attacked one blue city after the next. They have shot innocent people in cold blood with no accountability. ICE is out of control.

The level of political illiteracy in the US cannot be overstated as a reason we arrived here. The US has successfully propagandized its population for decades into believing "politics" is optional, rather than collective decision making. Politics is more than voting in rigged two party systems.

The idiots accept the blatant lie anyway.

Dear @cnn.com :: small correction :: I’m seeking $8.647 million.

No matter how states try to spin it, intentional discrimination against Black voters is still illegal — and we'll keep fighting it.

BREAKING: COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Senate rejects President Trump's push to redraw US House districts to try to get Republicans extra seat.

The beclowning of America continues.

Holy shit this cartoon.

Afternoon tea

Afternoon tea in the Queen's Court ballroom

Priorities much? The tray tilts, the latte spills - on the table, my phone, my slacks and shoes. The staff rushes over - to wipe the table and assure me they'll make another latte. I ask for towels or napkins to clean up myself and my phone, and those arrive *after* the latte is replaced. OMG! 😳

A light snack at Sir Samuel's to hold me over until teat time

Do you sea what I sea? Found a painting of the Coronia III at Liverpool - recognized the three graces (the Liver, Cunard, and Port buildings) behind her immediately

Good morning! Second full sea day aboard the Queen Mary 2. Last night we had a bit of a scare when the General Emergency Alarm was sounded by mistake at 3:50am... took a while to get back to sleep after that.
