NEW: Trump’s advisors and donors are meddling in a Democratic primary to oust Pittsburgh’s first Black Mayor, Ed Gainey. This is a foreshadowing of what’s to come for incumbent Democratic Mayors—especially Black and brown mayors.

Trump’s false denial that he called Zelenskyy a dictator is a classic disinformation tactic. Deny even verifiable facts to cause public cynicism, disgust, and, ultimately, disengagement from politics.

A new road sign appeared a while ago near me, but I had always been driving and not been able to photograph it until now. I’m not sure what goes on down this road, but I’m thinking I should find out.

I filed a magazine article today. It’s about a Pittsburgh area mob-owned nightclub (1946-1969). Reading thru the editor’s comments, it hit me that I have a superpower: interviewing dead people!

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:
