His daughter is playing him, and it is pure genius. The kids are alright.
My daughter lost a tooth yesterday. My wife was traveling, so I handled tooth fairy duties. I left a $10 under her pillow, which I thought was v generous, but she woke up, saw the bill & said: "But why did the Tooth Fairy leave me $20 last time?" 😆
(I wasn't aware my wife had gone so over the top!)

Honest question. Can a bot be sending in these form responses, or is it just a highly coordinated campaign? I know the bot would have to fill in names into the form so probably not, but worth asking.
Holy COW. Text analysis of comments on the OMB rule: overwhelming opposition, overwhelmingly not form letters. (But 9 in 10 comments supporting the rule ARE form responses, LOL)
Whatever happens next, folks have stepped up.

There is still time to submit your comment and tell the government that you don't want US research to be completely destroyed by politicians meddling in individual grants. You can submit your comments here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM...

I love this summary. However, as I watch my state, Alabama, begin dismantling districts represented by the only two Black members of our congressional caucus, the racism doesn't seem to be hiding in the shadows. The standard of intention is so ridiculous when the eventual outcome is so apparent.
The thing about that Supreme Court decision: it’s absurd to suggest that racism is a conscious choice people make that can be proved. Overt, intentional racism does exist, but any social scientist can tell you about 10,000 studies that demonstrate the hostile effects of “unintentional” racism.

Good thing country music fans had the TPUSA show so that they could see anything they could relate to.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

This is stunning.
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.
The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.
