Every time you give an actor a line, it hits your budget. It's one of the first costs you're told to trim as an EP. Sure, THE PITT is set in a big, chaotic space, but they very intentionally rotate new actors through *and let them speak*. Perfect for a show about our broken health care system.

Translation: Iran has not, in fact, agreed to this. If they had, he would know for sure, and there would be no question.

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

They incarcerated a white, retired British grandmother with a valid visa. For 2 months. I'm glad this article gets into what most don't: Even if you manage to get released, that's 2 months of not paying your bills. Her credit was wrecked. She's retired - younger folks would have lost their jobs.

In a sharp rebuke, a federal judge ruled that the DOJ’s hunt for state voter rolls stripped it of the trust courts afford to federal law enforcement agencies. The decision could provide a roadmap for other courts to scrutinize both the legality and the motives behind the department’s demands.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

His ego is so fragile, we should all refer to him as “Steven Miller’s puppet Don Trump” It would drive him nuts and perhaps expose Miller to either his wrath or Miller will over step and admit to all of his nefarious acts.

Thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social (via her critical newsletter) for reminding me of this timely poem from Wendell Berry, entitled Real Work.
Poem by Wendell Berry entitled Real Work:

It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
