Run that clip on repeat until the midterms.
Those of us who are not millionaires are trying to survive an affordability crisis. This guy, who owns gold-gilded monstrosities, is claiming the stress we all feel when we pay the rent is a scam. A Democratic scam. Remember this when you vote.

Finally got to see A Complete Unknown tonight. It’s a triumph. Casting is surprising and exceptional. Massive editing required to bring it in at 140 minutes plus but they landed it. As musical biopics go, this is on the top shelf.

Really bad optics. How far away can the Insurrection Act invocation be?
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.
It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Odd to find myself agreeing with French ag policy but this is the correct decision - speeding up the reduction of vineyard area.

France to help wine industry with $150 million in aid for vines uprooting
The French Agriculture Ministry said on Monday it would give the wine industry additional support of 130 million euros ($149.80 million) for the further uprooting of vines, to guard against excessive output, adding it would also ask the European Union to chip in.
