Sad to hear Michael Hague has died! 🕯️
His edition of Wind in the Willows was my definitive childhood version, and I pored over his large pictures for hours, especially the trees, Badger’s House and Toad Hall. His Piper at the Gates of Dawn is exquisite 💛

Trump invites a local businessman on stage but tells him, "Let's go. Doing it fast, Paul. They don't want to hear from you." 😳
Trump: “I believe upon information and belief that Iran was going to take over the Middle East”.
It's pure nonsense, he changes his story every day...
The audacity to crusade against ‘unqualified’ people while being EXHIBIT A in a lawsuit proving you don’t know what DEI means. For 200+ years, ‘merit’ meant being born White in the right zip code. Some of us had to be TWICE as good to get an interview. But this guy? Just had to show up. 🤡🎤

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?
Nearly a quarter of teens sleep 5 hours or less per night and the majority sleep less than 8 hours. The problem is pervasive and technology doesn't seem to be the main culprit, according to a new report. n.pr/40jLNCD

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
A king on a sumptuous, much elaborated throne; in one hand he holds a sceptre of office, in the other, the leashes for two fierce stone dogs that guard the throne. The king's head has been replaced with a character who was used as the basis for MAD Magazine's Alfred E Neumann. The new head sports a conical dunce cap. Behind the king is a large group of 1960s business men, seated and standing, in conservative suits. The background is the view from the 80th floor of World Trade Center 3. The floor has been carpeted in sumptuous tabriz from the Ottoman court.
