A friend sends this photo from tonight's Toadies concert at Tipitina’s. (Photo: Collin Breaux - I think).

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.

"Top staffers were figures with connections to GOP politics who hadn’t worked in the arts, including one spouse of a Republican party leader whose longest professional experience was working as a marketing and events manager at a Toyota dealership in Ireland..."

New Orleans.

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.

Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

There was never any doubt.

That’s an abomination.

Ohhhh. There it is. Got it.

She doesn't know the guy.

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

Melania statement in full…

No less likely, for sure. Probably more likely.

He's had a lot of former allies turn on him this week. The dominos are falling.

It's a circus and the crazier and more twisted theories are most likely the accurate ones.

It's almost fun, in a weird, unsatisfying way, to watch.

I don't know...

That assumes she's on his side. I find that doubtful. She's got her antenuptial agreement nailed down and bleeding from every extremity. She might be a rat leaving a ship.

Molly Jong-Fast suggests that she may be the one playing three dimensional chess. That could be a good thing; that could be a bad thing.

Definitely an intriguing thing.

Molly Jong-Fast suggests that she might be the one actually playing three dimensional chess.

Things are especially weird tonight....

If the Iranians have the Epstein files, that would explain a lot.
If the "bad guys" can hack into Kash Patel's cellphone, they're probably in his laptop as well.

Anyway, just a thought....
