Yesterday, Carrie B (“NannyCarrie”) emailed me the link to this article<\/a>. 44 years it was there. That’s longer than I’ve been married. And the Papaya Poopy-Pants lived in the White House for four years out of those 44 and apparently never noticed it. And has now lived there for more then seven additional months and never noticed it. But it’s “a hazard” to people visiting the White House. No one could make this up.
\nalso yesterday, there was an update on the “Ban Atwood in Alberta<\/a>” story.<\/p>\n

Not paywalled, but you’ll have to close a pop-up<\/a> subscription ask. I said a while ago that I’d have to start looking at The Lever more closely. This is a good example.<\/p>\n

I referenced the RFK hearing last week and provided a link to the video – but it was quite long and appeared to contain nothing we hadn’t heard before, so I didn’t really expect anyone to watch. Kudos if you did. Whether you did or didn’t, Heather Cox Richardson<\/a>‘s analysis should be valuable.<\/p>\n

Well, this from The F* News<\/a> is interesting, to say the least. I wouldn’t call it credible. Has anyone seen this elsewhere? I did see it in “Daily Dose of Democracy.”<\/p>\n
