Behold: Republican permitting reform.

The White House photographed from the driveway between it and the Treasury building, with the facade of the East Wing gutted. I don’t think the caretakers of the property pulled all the proper permits before starting work!

This is actually a perfect meme.

Send this to anyone, at any time, for any reason!

By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Divided Ninth Circuit panel stays injunction against President Trump’s federalization of National Guard troops in Portland:

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Graber, who is no firebrand, wrote quite a dissent—encouraging en banc review and some patience on the part of the public:

We have come to expect a dose of political theater in the political branches, drama designed to rally the base or to rile or intimidate political opponents. We also may expect there a measure of bending sometimes breaking the truth. By design of the Founders, the judicial branch stands apart. We rule on facts, not on supposition or conjecture, and certainly not on fabrication or propaganda. I urge my colleagues on this court to act swiftly to vacate the majority's order before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur. Above all, I ask
those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 19h

Byers makes a comment about ICE not targeting "actual, professional journalists."

"You're making a distinction among journalists?" Ellis asks.

"There's people with cell phones, calling themselves journalists," Byers responds.

Is there any actual effort to study this? Because it is truly blowing my mind.

People and organisations that simply would never, ever dream of sitting there and fabricating references manually somehow feel a breezy, shameless confidence in using fake information when it's fully automated. What!!!!

There’s a scene in this where he’s dangling the lawyer over a cliff…overlooking the devastation of a cleared forest and he says “DO YOU SEE?”
And the white man lawyer says “NO!”
The message is clear

Also the "What is the Louvre?" mini-explainer that says the museum has "nearly 73,000 square metres of exhibition space - more than the size of ten football pitches," as though assuming the BBC reader unfamiliar with the Louvre needs it given to them in football
