It isn’t enough for these people to smear the Justice building with a banner of the first president convicted of felonies. So now they’ve marred the Education building with the banner of an instigator who compiled a hit list of academics.

Resting up today for Week 2 of the CrossFit Open at CrossFit Enforce in Gaithersburg, MD. Physically brutal workouts, but now more than ever they are good for the mind and soul. A much-needed diversion.

No, Trump Didn’t Make Historic Progress on Drug Prices Go ahead and guess which president did.

Dear Ron Johnson,

Cops don’t wear masks. ICE is the antithesis of law enforcement. Cops detest what ICE is doing. And sorry about those pesky judicial warrants. They’re necessary, per the Constitution. You remember the Constitution, don’t you?

Your Former Congressional Colleague

Francesca Lollobrigida celebrates her 35th birthday with the gold. And, yes, says NBC, she is related to that Lollobrigida.

Italy wins gold in women’s 3,000-meter speed skating with Olympic record. First Italian woman ever to win speed skating gold. The Games are always better when the home country does well.

Why didn’t Karoline Leavitt initially say the video was wrong, was posted by a staffer, and apologize?

She did none of those things.

She just blamed Democrats for “fake outrage.”

Cute to show Italy’s president getting to the Winter Games Opening Ceremony on a trolley and picking up a stuffed animal for a child, but it cannot top James Bond and the Queen jumping out of a helicopter before London 2012.
