This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

Google search: “Santa Monica Goebbels.” Google returns: a Southern Poverty Law Center result titled “Stephen Miller,” with the snippet: “Stephen Miller is credited with shaping the racist and draconian immigration policies of President Trump, which include the zero-tolerance policy, …”

🧵 Costs are up because Trump insists on starting trade wars with countries around the world – including our neighbors to the north.  The court overturned Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs last year, but those refund checks aren’t going to you.

Trump has just imposed a 100% tariff on drones made outside the US. His sons Don Jr. and Eric are coincidentally both in business with drone manufacturers in the US.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

Mayor Wilson’s Statement on  Seattle Center Shootings

What happened at the Seattle Center today was an act of horrific violence. Impacted families are living through the worst moment of their lives, and an entire community is trying to understand how a gathering built around culture, connection, and joy ended in gunfire. No one should have to weigh the risk of being shot before attending an event, gathering with friends, or experiencing their city. In the days ahead, we will establish what happened and be transparent with the public about what we have learned. Seattle grieves with you, and we will stand with you in the difficult days ahead.

Please visit SPDBlotter.Seattle.Gov for updates on the investigation.
