One-month plot of the Dow Jones Industrial Average showing drop from above 50,000 down to below 48,000.
Congress needs to get AG Pamela Bondi back to testify under oath about why the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down under 48,000.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
Imagine this in a trial.
Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing
Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."
A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:
"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."
and
"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

As another holder of Office of Irrelevant Size Account, I would like to say that you are very generous to share your thoughts and expertise and time with the world, and I am grateful for it. Thanks especially for your science writing, down to the last footnote of The End of Everything.
Definitely good to add that to your CV.
I can’t wait for the MEGA hats.
Amen.

The four Nazgûl pursuing Gandalf forsake the chase and turn back south. Three ride for the Last Bridge to prevent the Ring from crossing it.
The land is growing rocky, so Gandalf sends Shadowfax back to Rohan. The wizard sets out on an eleven-day hike through the Ettenmoors.
