If only there were a few Republicans in the US Senate with cojones like this. Former US Attorney Hagan Scotten is a Republican with a JD from Harvard. He held the rank of captain in the Special Forces during the Iraq War.

The house became full of love. Aureliano expressed it in poetry that had no beginning or end. He would write it on the harsh pieces of parchment that Melquiades gave him, on the bathroom walls, on the skin of his arms, and in all of it Remedios would appear transfigured: Marquez

The Great Gatsby will turn 100 just as Trump returns to the White House next year. The novel’s portrayal of America’s dark side tells us exactly what to expect in a second Trump administration. And why his return is business as usual. open.substack.com/pub/andrewja...

Good morning #BlueSky It’s my day off and I’ve already done so much! It’s a foggy morning and I’ve been on a morning walk. I just love the fog, although it makes me miss Scotland even more.

I met my doppelgänger on West 59th Street in Manhattan. As we passed, we both turned to stare at each other. We looked eerily similar, wore almost identical outfits and hairstyles. We simultaneously turned and walked away, neither of us were sure which was the true doppelgänger.
