The brilliant part of this article is it shows you the mural early, yet keeps you wondering WTF the problem with the mural is. And then you go, "Seriously!?!"

RFK Jr. hits back after Trump’s ‘barely coherent’ rant
...
“When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” Kennedy said Saturday in a social media post on X. “President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.”

The 'peak boomer' crisis might only get worse: A fifth of Americans 50 and up have no retirement savings, and the majority are worried they won't have enough money
Hatred of Jews in the university
...
Oh, it must be hard to be an anti-Israel protester at an elite US university these days. You just want to demonstrate against the war in Gaza, against Israel and the policies of US President Joe Biden - and, oops, you insulted a few Jews, wished them dead and presented yourself as a friend of Hamas and other terrorist groups."

Trumpification of the Supreme Court
...
No previous president has sought to overthrow the Constitution by staying in power after losing an election. . . . [W]hich is why these questions are being raised now. Pretending that these matters concern the powers of the presidency more broadly is merely the path the justices sympathetic to Trump have chosen to take in order to rationalize protecting the man they would prefer to be the next president.

Harvard Law Professor Offers Scathing Summary Of SCOTUS-Trump Arguments
Laurence Tribe pulled no punches over what he described as a "shameful performance by the court."
“Much of the argument was quite depressing in the sense that it really amounted to four [conservative] justices — Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas — in search of a lifeline for Donald Trump

@Alfred Draw a book cover for a book entitled, "How We Did It by Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein."
@Alfred What are the advisable minimum and maximum lengths for a resume.
The real question in the Trump immunity case before the Supreme Court isn't whether they will find that Presidents have blanket criminal immunity. They won't.
It's whether they will reject the immunity claim ouright or find some excuse to send it back to the trial court for further consideration, thus pushing any trial well beyond the November election.
My guess is they'll do the later, and it will be a purely political maneuver.
How to Know If the Supreme Court Is in the Tank for Trump
Trump’s bid for immunity from prosecution in Washington is an absurd farce. Will the court’s conservatives bail him out?
...
The most obvious way the court could lend Trump a hand would be to devise some new standard for determining whether presidents might have criminal immunity for acts they committed while in office, and to then send the case back to Chutkan for review under that standard.

@Alfred Where do babies come from?
Life expectancy in the US peaked 10 years ago, so I'm always amused to see attempts to define "old age" upwards.
As the Roberts Supreme Court looks ready to release hundreds of 1/6 insurrectionists, the FBI has just caught another one.
