Keith Richards hangs out at a Tribeca dive bar back in 1988, right around the time he was releasing his solo album, Talk Is Cheap.

A young, up-and-coming photographer named Timothy White took the gig for Guitar Magazine, even though they only offered him a whopping $150. But because it was Keith Richards, he jumped at the chance and had him meet down in Tribeca. They ducked into a mostly empty daytime dive bar, ordered some drinks, played a few rounds of pool, and completely took the place over. That's when White caught this great moment of the legend leaning over the table with his Telecaster and a cigarette.

@washingtonpost The order shouldn't be to tell us why the tarp is still up, but to take it down. This farce has gone on long enough. It's a testimony to one man's ego, pettiness, and inability to accept defeat. The tarp must come down. Now! Keeping it up is an insult to the Kennedy legacy.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Why is the tarp-covered scaffolding still up at the Kennedy Center’s exterior, 11 days after crews used it to take President Trump’s name down?

Can a president ignore a federal judge?
That's the question at the heart of one of the most important cases in the country right now. The full D.C. Circuit will reconsider whether Judge Boasberg can investigate possible contempt after the administration refused to comply with his order.

The Montreal shooter was an incel terrorist from Alberta who hated women.

He was a socially conservative misogynist who felt entitled to women’s attention.

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances:

“I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”
