#RoseWednesday #FlowerReport: Some scenes from Monday, in the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden.
A photo of a pink and white candy-striped rose. A photo of a walkway with a rustic overhang of thick wooden beams, flanked by posts with bare vines snaking up on the outside. Rose bushes are beyond, with trees and a large blue fountain framed in the center.
A photo of a bush of several pink roses leading into a scene beyond that is filled with white roses in a garden setting that leads far off into a horizon of houses with tall evergreen trees on the right and more, including palm trees, further away under a light blue sky. Near the center of the picture, in the garden, is the blue water fountain, tiny by comparison.

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

At the hospital before my latest surgery on Thursday, I was waiting for an injection and began reading the Patient’s Bill of Rights on the wall. I fast realized it made me angry because my son deserved all those rights to be observed before he died. We always have our children on our minds. #grief

Biopsy came back positive. Cancer cells have been found in my lymph node. Darn. Waiting to hear from my surgeon. I left her a message telling her I’m ready to head back to surgery when she is.

When I was clerking in Western NY there wasn't a ton to do. So I'd frequently stop at the Goodwill on my drive home and check out the records. One day I walked in and someone had dropped off an 80 vinyl collection of every Dolly album ever made. $1.99 each. Best $160 I ever spent.

Hmm. 1) this is not true. I know many in tech that give their kids screen time 2) if people were talking about banning all food the way they talk about banning tech you’d maybe rethink this analogy 3) what are we supposed to notice? That people have the freedom to parent their kids how they want?

Progressive Angie Nixon won the democratic nomination in Florida, defeating Alex Vindman. The FIRST thing he did was to pledge to work together with her to elect a democrat to the Senate in Florida. That’s what all the defeated candidates need to do. It’s got to be a group effort.

At SCOTUS, govt casts Trump's ballroom as "integrated military complex ... vitally req'd by national security." Belittles DC Cir ruling as holding that Trump is a mere tenant (true) while the district judge is the landlord (false; Congress is). www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/26...
This case involves an extraordinary and unlawful injunction that will halt the
ongoing construction of the integrated military complex, including a totally secure ballroom space, at the East Wing of the White House, which is vitally required by national security. As Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton states: "The Pro-
ject is critical for ensuring that the White House can serve as a secure location for the
gathering of the President, gathering of senior government officials, and gatheringsSuch an injunction "threatens the security and safety of the President of the United States," rests on glaring errors as to Article III standing, the merits, and the equities, and creates a needless interbranch collision. App., infra, 390a (Rao, J., dis-senting). In upholding it, a D.C. Circuit majority wrongly viewed the President as a mere "tenant" of the White House, id. at 261a, with the district judge as his de facto landlord. The President of the United States of America is not a tenant, but rather
