Trump defends his war in Iran in new TIME interview. Interviewer: I feel like most people heard you say 4-6 weeks. Trump: No, I think the press fed it to them. We were in Vietnam for 21, 20, years. We were in Afghanistan for many years. We were in Korea for many. We're everywhere for many years.

In this vintage black-and-white mid-20th century photograph, the young maiko Hisagiku stands at the wooden threshold of a teahouse (ochaya).
In this vintage black-and-white photograph, the young maiko Hisagiku stands at the wooden threshold of a teahouse (ochaya), gracefully raising a dark cloth noren curtain with one hand. She wears a long-sleeved furisode kimono decorated with bold, dynamic circular geometric patterns, secured with a dark brocade obi and elevated on high wooden okobo clogs above a moist stone pavement. Above her, white calligraphic lettering on the dark curtain and a carved wooden plaque frame the entrance, contrasting with the deep shadows of the doorway. Her gentle smile as she parts the curtain captures an evocative, multi-sensory moment: the crisp click of wooden okobo on wet cobblestones, the cool scent of aged timber and dyed fabric, the play of light and shade across the threshold, and the quiet allure of the traditional flower quarters.
Dating from the mid-20th century, this portrait offers a glimpse into Japan's traditional flower and willow world (karyūkai). As an apprentice geisha, a maiko’s attire—from her high okobo clogs and elaborately styled natural hair (nihongami) to her floor-sweeping furisode—embodies centuries of refined Japanese dress history and performance traditions. The noren hanging at the doorway of the ochaya serves both as a commercial signpost and a physical divider between the public street and the private realm of entertainment. Every element in the composition—from the hand-dyed textile motifs and hand-carved footwear to the timber joinery of the entryway—reflects monozukuri (artisanal mastery), elevating everyday architectural and garment design into a timeless cultural art form.

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.
