Keep the men front & center!
I love the one woman leaning over to peek through.

Good morning!

Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates—

💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion

💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million

💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million

💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million

And Jared became a billionaire last year.

Have a great day!

"He still supports Trump, though."

Well done, Virginia!

Sisters, indeed. I have Smithsonian and Richard III Society visible, but keep AARP in the guest bathroom under Garnet Hill's latest issue.
I hope @radiofreetom.bsky.social isn't reading all of this - he might block us.

On the right is someone NFL doctors say is 6’3, 230 lbs with 5% body fat

On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6’3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat

If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

Stacks of The Atlantic, New Yorker, and Cooks Illustrated on my coffee table make guests forget how mediocre my cooking can be, especially after seeing my Atlantic tote bag on the coat rack as they arrive.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

This was another fine edition of Talking Feds. Thanks, Harry.
And thank you, @normeisen.bsky.social for offering a few words of hope near the end, just as I was shakily reaching for a calming cup of tea.

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

Can anyone get past the paywall to learn who invited him?

We're good.

This is a war based on lies

I agree, but even the free headline portions are enough to inspire further research if you dig around a bit.
I often share Gift Articles up to the monthly limit, as other subscribers do.
I'm not inclined to let legacy media off the hook for burying news that doesn't suit them.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

GRAPPLING, not grapping.
Where is our edit button, @support.bsky.team ?

😳

Schooley, if people believe the earth is flat, does that make it true? Trump's lies are not a grapping matter.

The Moon's diameter is roughly one-quarter (27%) of Earth's. Earth is about 3.7 times wider than the Moon, and it would take roughly 50 moons to fill the volume of the Earth.

I don't care for this remarkably popular song - it's always reminded me of ego driven people who are careless with others.
