Part of me secretly hopes that members of the 11th Circuit were cool to have arguments for releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report in January, but watching Schmitt's colossal fuck up made them move the arguments up to Nov 2.

Hegseth: "A free press is of course important, but partisan activism that intentionally smears the troops and the historic mission that they are undertaking is fundamentally anti-American. It's sick. It's a national betrayal. It's treason."

Sword-billed hummingbird Andes Mountains of South America, across Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Its extra-long bill and tongue allow it to drink nectar from deep, tubular flowers—such as certain passionflowers and It must use its feet to scratch and preen its feathers.

As we all suspected. The Federal Reserve’s independent watchdog found no reasonable grounds to believe its multibillion-dollar renovation broke federal law. Trump made it a target, federal prosecutors briefly scrutinized it, and the watchdog found no basis for the accusations.

Trump's AG Todd Blanche just filed a misconduct complaint against two Minnesota federal judges for telling the NYT that the 3,000-agent immigration surge there threatens democracy. Their crime? Documenting 96 violated court orders. Punishing judges for truth is how democracy dies.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.
