A true side note: Prince cared deeply about food insecurity, and would routinely make substantial donations to local food banks and community kitchens in every town that he would play in during his later tours. Sometimes they would ask for supplies & his team would show up with huge amounts of food.
A potato has been named after Prince.

Clem’s mad I didn’t feed her at her usual time. Making her wait a mandatory hour so one of her two meds has a chance to work. Her ire is a good sign, but she needs to get through a few days before being out of the woods.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Trump's pardon of a drug trafficker while attacking Venezuela for "drug trafficking" seems ideologically incoherent, but the Trump regime's actions are how an organized crime syndicate would set up its own drug importation monopoly.

Build supply lines, kill the competition. It's just mob business.

Curious how these officials - across two Trump administrations - effortlessly skirt major regulations and laws designed to apply economic and banking/finance sanctions on Russia and a handful of other countries.
Three powerful businessmen—two Americans and a Russian—hunched over a laptop in Miami Beach last month, ostensibly to draw up a plan to end Russia’s long and deadly war with Ukraine.

The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

It’s tiresome and repetitive but I think it may be imperative every time fascism tells this fundamentally antisemitic lie that every Jew who knows even a bit of what’s what—I know a bit—says explicitly “this isn’t for me. It’s against me & everyone human.”
Statement from U.S. AG Pam Bondi:

“Today’s settlement marks another victory in the Trump Administration’s fight to ensure that American educational institutions protect Jewish students and put merit first…

This is so tragic and unnecessary. My prayers go out to her family and loved ones.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

“In 2029 we will rebuild the White House and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, his family, and all of his companies and organizations. We publicize the name of every contractor involved with this project and permanently ban them as corporate entities and individuals from public contracts.”
Trump fighting with his architect about wanting to build a ballroom bigger than the actual White House feels very on brand
