Director Lennie Weinrib’s jaunty Beach Ball premiered today in 1965. It’s sprightly – but largely a copy of the era’s other beach party hijinks films. Yet, fans of The Supremes can enjoy the original trio (backed by a house band daringly named The Sinners). The film is a time capsule, of sorts.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Eric Schmitt is an idiot, but MAGA Americans may never know, because when right-wing pundits need a hero, they’ll whitewash an idiot to serve the purpose if need be (and the GOP just doesn’t have a very deep bench of non-idiots).

El Salvador continues to imprison ICE-Gestapo deportees from the US even after the major backlash of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case with quite a few people disappearing entirely. This would be called crimes against humanity. Every MAGA official who allowed these atrocities to happen should be jailed.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Putin has been actively - if covertly - waging a war of propaganda and sabotage against the governments of the West, primarily the US, because they stand between him and his ambitions Russian empire. His support for Trump is not because Donald is a champion of Western democracy and the American way.
