Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Also, if you borrow an author's book from a library in the UK, that author gets more than 12 pence per loan in Public Lending Rights. Any author can earn up to Β£6,600 per year this way.

For context: I published my 15th book last year. The advance I received for it was considerably less than Β£6,600.

If it's Cary Grant's birthday, it must surely be time for me to post the "puppy in the jacket pocket" picture again. Be rude not to, really.

Good to see such dissent in Trumponia. Want to see more of this, and Democrats speaking out loudly and visiting Greenland voice support against this terriple idea.

And non-MAGA US politicians should be visiting Greenland and publicly declaring their support for it not being part of Trumponia. Here in Europe were not seeing this if it is happening.

Retired ICE agent breaks down deadly Minneapolis shooting YouTube video by CBS Evening News

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTubeβ€”and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Yes, that’s really the current Pope circa 1982.

Yes, that’s really the current Pope circa 1982.

The failure to include this picture of the future Pope Leo XIV in response to this quote is at least a venal sin, and possibly a mortal one.

Thanks for this Joey. I hadn't heard of @allodarlin.bsky.social until a few months ago when someone on here mentioned them which led to me attending their wonderful gig in Manchester last month.

Pope Leo rebukes climate skeptics after Trump calls warming a β€˜con job’ The Illinois native’s comments come a week after the U.S. president derided the fight against climate change.

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

Pope Leo criticizes 'inhuman' treatment of immigrants in US Pope Leo on Tuesday appeared to offer his strongest criticism yet of U.S. President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies, questioning whether they were in line with the Catholic Church's pro-life teachings.

Pope Leo in remarks to journalists tonight: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.” www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...
