In the swirl of media speculation and scandal around Trump aide and "human printer" Natalie Harp, I caution that Harp isn't the one Ossoff or anyone else should be directing their darts at. Remember who holds the power and is making the calls here. Harp is just a deluded cultist. Don't Lewinsky her.
slate.com
Why Did Trump Lose It Over Natalie Harp—and Who Is She, Anyway? Unfortunately, I’ve Learned Too Much.
It’s not anything so obvious as an affair. It’s somehow worse.

Struggle is real, every morning.
At left is a human, male cartoon figure with dark brown hair, a dark brown goatee, and short white horns on his forehead like a Pan, devil, or centaur figure. He stands in a lush wooded area and holds out a red apple in each hand. Meme text over the left apple reads "Put pants on and get things done". Text over the right apple reads "Not do that".

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an old man lies in a hospice bed, glancing out the window as day breaks. There is a woman asleep on a small couch next to him. The man thinks to himself, “dang, that was stressful. Wouldn’t mind a chill one next time.” Panel 2: the cycle of death and rebirth continues on, represented by the samsara wheel of life, along with splash text which reads: REINCARNATE-O! Panel 3: a solitary duck swims peacefully along the water. It thinks to itself, “nice”

Congress rejected some of Trump’s proposed budget cuts. OMB is making them anyway.
President Trump and the Office of Management and Budget are accused of violating the separation of powers by attempting to unilaterally withhold funds that Congress specifically appropriated.

I followed her vlog daily. I haven't been able to get excited about the World Cup much, but I sure did love seeing Kelsey Pfendler crush those waves and pull into Ala Wai Harbor, escorted by moonlight and the aloha of thousands waiting for her. Congratulations to Ms. Pfendler, you are amazing!

For the 250th birthday of the U.S., something from one of my first favorite authors.
NOTES and COMMENT from the New Yorker Magazine, July 3, 1943. Author E.B. White writes, "We received a letter from the Writers' War Board the other day asking for a statement on 'The Meaning of Democracy.' It is presumably our duty to comply with such a request, and it is certainly our pleasure. Surely, the board knows what democracy is. It is the line that forms on the right. It is the don't, in don't shove. It is the hole in the stuffed shirt through which the sawdust slowly trickles; the dent in the high hat. Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right, more than half of the time. It is the feeling of privacy in the voting booths; the feeling of communion in the libraries; the feeling of vitality everywhere. Democracy is the letter to the editor. Democracy is the score at the beginning of the ninth. It is an idea which hasn't been disproved yet; a song, the words of which have not gone bad. It's the mustard on the hot dog, and the cream in the rationed coffee. Democracy is a request from a War Board - in the middle of the morning, in the middle of a war - wanting to know what democracy is."

Did you pay your taxes? Then you gave $4,049 to war and weapons. According to the Institute for Policy Studies, taxpayers contributed more to Pentagon contractors ($1,870) than to troops' pay ($770), and more to militarism than programs like school lunches ($124) or the Postal Service ($19).

Someone in the comments on the original article chided the author for suggesting that an ultra- conservative church with 100 attendees on any given Sunday represents a threat. To that, I say there were almost no search hits 10 years ago for "repeal the 19th." Try it now. Yes, this is a threat.
