Holy shit

#Trump showed off a draft of a letter firing the chair of #FederalReserve, #JeromePowell, during a meeting with roughly a dozen #House #Republicans on Tues night, polling them as to whether he should do it & indicating that he likely would….

In a Saturday social media post, #Trump made clear he remains focused on #election policies & his 2020 lies, writing that AG #PamBondi is looking into “The Rigged & Stolen Election of 2020.” His admin’s latest push for #voting #data comes a year & a half before the midterms, when #Democrats hope to take control of the #House, chip away at the Republican majority in the #Senate & win more governorships.

Good morning. 🪻🪻🪻

14 July 2025

We awoke this morning in Savannah, Georgia, settled into a stately three-story house boasting five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, two kitchens, three living rooms, two patios—one perched on the second floor—and a pair of street-facing balconies. It’s charming, though notably lacking an elevator, and our bedroom claims the top floor. I suppose my glutes will thank me later.

Last night, once we’d all arrived, we ventured out like modern hunter-gatherers in search of sustenance. We wandered with the fading light as our only guide, stalking the streets in what felt like aimless pursuit. Eventually, we snared a table for eight at The Emporium, where the fare was both delicious and delightfully fancified. The only trouble was the return: a quiet march through shadowed blocks, trying to relocate our new abode by memory and moonlight.

Food is our common ground, a universal experience.” — James Beard
