Today in 1986, the great Florence Halop (“Night Court,” “St. Elsewhere”) calmly helped Wendy M. of Southern California win $25k on Super Password. Sadly, Florence would pass away 5 months later at the age of 63.

The Trump post office takeover story has this extraordinary line: "according to six people familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals." That shit sounds like it's out of some totalitarian regime, not the United States. wapo.st/4309Ysp

Today marks 83 years since Executive Order 9066 forced over 120,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps. Photographer Dorothea Lange was hired by the government to document the forced relocation of these families. She made images of life before, during, and after the camps.

Today is National Day of Remembrance for the 120,000 Japanese Americans who were put into internment/concentration camps by an Executive Order. This is a very real part of US history, and I can only hope that we never repeat it again, but it feels, more than before, a real possibility again.

Anthony Gardner's (L) brother Harvey (R) was killed in the North Tower on 9/11. Recently, Anthony has worked for the World Trade Center Health Program. On Saturday, he got a termination notice, part of what 9/11 community advocates say is an "inhumane" 20% staffing reduction.

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks and the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

“For Nancy Hastings, the face of the federal government is the young man who picks her up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:45 a.m. to drive her to dialysis... Then suddenly, in late January, word came that he was gone. With the Trump administration’s spending freeze…he was laid off.”

Tip for hockey media folks claiming to have even a shred of dignity left: Instead of asking US players what they think of Canadian fans booing their anthem, ask them how they feel about their president repeatedly suggesting that Canada should cease to even fucking exist. Try that just once.

They’re not just malicious, they’re incompetent. DOGE has so far disrupted everything in government bar the deficit "Outflows from the Treasury have actually risen since January 28th, when Musk first claimed DOGE was saving the federal government $1bn a day." www.economist.com/finance-and-...

I see people grousing about #SNL50 being too soon after SNL 40. Right? I felt same way when my grandma turned 100. Siblings wanted a whole affair and Im like, "She JUST turned 90 ten years ago. You were there!" There were number-shaped balloons and a special photo album and everything.

The wild thing is Hochul is hated by all 30 Democrats outside of New York who know who she is and she’s been given a gift to be the first Governor with the opportunity to really get in the ring with Trump. Remove Adams. Take on Trump. Become a hero. Have a political future. Take the gift.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Thank you, DOGE, for clearly visualizing what incredible value the American people get from their national parks. 17,700 permanent employees making an average of $81,000 a year serving 325 million visitors annually. Is there a better value in the entire federal government?
