Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

More precisely, Kash Patel was paid $25,000—and Rudy Giuliani $100,000—by a pro-Russia propagandist who led a project financially supported by Putin's office. To get the full story, see my new book, "How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Go to HowRussiaWon.com.

A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

Last night Trump filed his DC Circuit appeal seeking to rename the Kennedy Center. "[W]ithout appropriate recognition [for Trump], the Kennedy Center will" continue its "race toward physical & financial ruin. The stakes are existential." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In short, without appropriate recognition, the Kennedy Center will be
back where it was at the beginning-a financially insolvent facility and a
decrepit, dilapidated, crumbling building, that is bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars in losses and that continues to race toward physical and financial ruin.
The stakes are existential.

Trump now argues that “his supporters will be deterred from contributing to the [Kennedy] Center if his name is removed.” This is the good stuff: pure, unadulterated horseshit.

Plaintiff's alleged harms pale in comparison to the real harms on the other
side of the ledger. For one, the absence of a recognition to President Trump
threatens to impede the Center's fundraising efforts and contribute to the financial decline of the Center. As the Center's Executive Director explained, the President has been a central force in the Center's current fundraising efforts,
but his supporters will be deterred from contributing to the Center if his name is removed. See ECF No. 47-1 at 2. This loss of fundraising time and potential is also definitionally irreparable, and the public interest weighs in favor of an
economically viable Center.
Again, the district court erred in concluding
