If you're in DC for climate week, come see me fight off imposter syndrome while I speak alongside these amazing people about what we do about EJ Screen during the current administration.

Come say hi to me at my table at the History Network!
Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.
Andre the Giant is getting a historical marker in North Carolina on Thursday, near where he owned a ranch. If you go, sniff the air. You might inhale some of Andre the Giant because his ashes were spread there, too.

Tim Cook is stepping down from Apple to spend more time kissing up to Donald Trump with his family.
I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
Karoline Leavitt @PressSec Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump is Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness
we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help
I would love to know how many U.S. families have lost multiple members to traffic violence, especially in separate crashes. Because this is not the first story on a husband and wife dying in exactly the same place that I've reported, and unless something changes, it definitely won't be the last.
SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

Most DC drivers aren't actually *seeking* our violent deaths. But an uncomfortably large fraction is solidly *indifferent* to our violent deaths.
Bars in Washington, DC had been struggling since Covid. So why are the city’s Democrats so eager to get rid of Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and Jeanine Pirro?
picture of a bacon egg and cheese with the caption: DC people — there's a place called Call Your Mother that makes an incredible bacon, egg and cheese. That is all
seeing the TMZ DC guys’ posts from the last week is like viewing the instagram stories of a DC summer intern lol
I think this could go a long way to discourage terms that last until you’re dead. Which are not required, after all! Retiring at a regular retirement age is very normal and is allowed under the Constitution! We don’t have to make it the cushiest job on the planet. Fewer perks -> better judges.
shouldn't be allowed to choose their own clerks, shouldn't be allowed to accept fees for speaking or prize money or awards. shouldn't be able to get book deals, etc. etc. if what you want is to be famous, well, no one is forcing you to be a supreme court justice.
Remarkable.
In which seals clap because Biff just <signed his name> like a big boy
Hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.
Waking up to discover that evidence has been released proving something we all knew. The Supreme Court's efforts to stop the Obama clean power plant rules were rooted in explicit, corrupt efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry.
John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR
he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable
the court as it exists today must be broken
Donald O'Connor by Philippe Halsman.
being so shitfaced that hotel bar workers have noticed it and can identify you as the director of the FBI would seem to pose some compromising problems for you
In the ninth episode of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Craig Robinson refers to Daniel Radcliffe, to his face, as "this Elijah-Wood-looking-ass bitch." I am running out of new ways to recommend this show.
this is, without exaggeration, the single greatest piece of journalism of the past ten years.
fox just had a banner referring to mamdani's planned grocery store as "trader zo's," and one must admit that's a good bit
I already hated everything being gambling now yet it continues to get worse
At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now:

This is excellent by Boyle. What CBO and others have pointed out is that millions of eligible claimants will lose vital health care coverage because of administrative burdens. By design! That is the purpose of the bill. It does not target fraud. It just weaponizes burdens against the public.
Casar: "Millions of Americans could be on verge of losing their jobs, but the only AI legislation Republicans are pushing is legislation to prevent any regulation. We should be stopping AI billionaires from putting countless Americans out of work, but Republicans are too busy cashing their checks."
