"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

Bill Mauldin's editorial cartoon commenting on the ongoing Watergate crisis and following the resignation of Nixon's VP Spiro T. Agnew, October 1973.

Cartoon shows the eagle symbol of the US with a cloud over it and hiding its eyes with its wing.

Here's a neat thing! My mom retired after 25+ as a children's librarian at public libraries yesterday. (It was very cool! Hundreds of former Story Hour kids arrived, some as adults!) I let Ed Markey's office know in case they wanted to send a nice email back and they sent this! He's still got it!

READ THIS: How Amsterdam became the bicycle capital of the world. In the 1960s, Dutch cities saw cars as the transport of the future. It took the intolerable toll of child traffic deaths —and fierce activism— to turn #Amsterdam into the urban biking nirvana of today. It took vision and leadership.

Trump says he's banning CNN, MSNow & Politico from the White House. If he goes through w/ this, the WH press corps needs to boycott. Fox too No more of the correspondents association's white-tablecloth, gladhanding bullshit. Pentagon reporters showed they don't need in-house access. You can too.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Shame on any Democrat who votes for the abominable pro-crypto CLARITY Act. Call your senators and tell them to vote NO when it comes up for a crucial procedural vote tomorrow: (202) 224-3121.
