Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

@natschatpodcast.bsky.social Cavalli‘s statements after he saw the reactions to what he said were everything you’d hope he would do. In my mind, this is settled and it appears he’s learned a lesson. Go #Nats

@natschatpodcast.bsky.social if Cavalli really did say, “Sit down, boy” to Contreras? That’s an ugly act that needs internal discipline by the #Nationals at a minimum, with league action getting no complaint from me.

Obama's new presidential museum is a trip to a parallel universe, one whose hope-and-change message seems out of step with today's cynical zeitgeist. For some admirers, it has grown so emotional that the staff leaves out boxes of tissues. "Lots of tears." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

I’m watching the 1975 “classic” THE EIGER SANCTION (Clint Eastwood is a retired spy/assassin) for the first time. (1) The dialogue is PAINFUL. (2) women get butts slapped as a “goodbye” and it’s just normal.(3) John Williams did the score, and it has 70s synth in it! (4) ROCKY training montage!

Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws. Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company. Funny how that works, huh?

ICE openly and unconcernedly murdering people who are there to ensure there's a record of what ICE is doing to other people gives you some idea of what ICE must be doing to those other people when there's no one there to record them.
