Rose season. They are particularly glorious this year, especially the aptly named Generous Gardener, a climber. @DAustinRoses

Commentary from Anne Higonnet in @MotherJones …”.the greatest style in the world is the most confident, understated style, which we call elegant or chic. Sánchez Bezos is neither. She’ll never be elegant, ever.”

"Trump, the Mar-a-Lago golfer, is the only bull in the world who walks around with his own china shop. When a clown takes over the Palace, he doesn't become King. It's the Palace that becomes a circus"

French senator Claude Malhuret once again nails it. You won't hear a better indictment of Trump and his Gulf war than this. Well worth 5 minutes of your time

Bravo to Vanity Fair photographer Chris Anderson: “Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session…he comes up & says “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

¿Por qué la gente dice “Un ojo al gato y otro al garabato?
Las cocinas mexicanas de antes eran diferentes, cierto tipo de carnes y pescados se debían colgar y conservar en un instrumento llamado garabato; según el Diccionario de la Lengua Española es un instrumento de hierro cuya punta forma un semicírculo y sirve para tener colgado algo. Por otra parte, el gato al ser un animal domestico y bastante ágil, era el único que podía alcanzar los alimentos dentro de la cocina. Así, cuando un gato entraba a la cocina era muy probable que brincara para quedarse con algo de lo que se hubiese colgado en el garabato. Las cocineras debían de estar pendientes del garabato que tenía colgado algún alimento y también del gato bandido que quería apropiarse del comestible. De ahí surge, entonces, este famoso dicho mexicano “Un ojo al Gato y otro al Garabato”. Estar en dos cosas al mismo tiempo sin descuidar una u otra. Los dichos mexicanos son y serán una maravilla de nuestro lenguaje.

Nancy Pelosi is the single most effective political leader of the modern era. No other living person has given more of themselves for the Democratic Party — worked harder or accomplished more for the American people in Washington. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn’t. And we know it.
