YIKES! Axios' Alex Thompson SCORCHES the media at the White House Correspondents' Dinner for covering up Biden's lack of mental acuity. The room was silent! "President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception." "But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves. We, myself included, missed a lot of this story. And some people trust us less because of it. We bear some responsibility for faith in the media being at such lows." "I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust and being defensive about them further erodes it. We should have done better."

As part of preparations for America’s 250th anniversary, Interior is reviewing wildlife nomenclature to better reflect the nation’s history and character. Following this review, the raccoon (Procyon lotor) will be renamed the Liberty Bandit, effective April 1, 2026.

Colorado is something like 0 for its last 30 in the Supreme Court. There should probably be a separate Supreme Court that exists solely to strike down Colorado laws. Justice Jackson (D-BlueSky) with another barn burner dissent.

BREAKING: In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court announced this morning that Colorado’s ban on so-called conversion therapy violates First Amendment free speech rights. Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion. Jackson was the lone dissent. “The First Amendment stands as a bulwark against any effort to prescribe an orthodoxy of views, reflecting a belief that each American enjoys an inalienable right to speak his mind and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for finding truth,” the Court ruled. “Laws like Colorado’s, which suppress speech based on viewpoint, represent an egregious assault on both commitments.”

First day at the gym.

Recent research from Kyoto University reveals that female dogs actively assess human competence—while male dogs do not. Female dogs clearly prefer approaching humans who successfully complete tasks, such as opening food containers, over those who fail. In contrast, male dogs show no preference and treat both competent and incompetent humans equally. These findings, published in a study titled "Female dogs evaluate levels of competence in humans," indicate that female dogs exhibit a more advanced form of social evaluation, particularly when food or resources are involved. They pay closer attention to human actions and their outcomes, using this information to decide who is the most reliable partner for obtaining rewards. This competence bias suggests female dogs are more sensitive to efficiency and social results than previously thought. For dog owners, it means your female companion isn't just loyal—she's also quietly evaluating your ability to provide. These results highlight an intriguing sex difference in canine social cognition, potentially evolved to enhance females' chances of securing resources and survival.

Do you find it odd that many Republican and Democrat lawmakers are issuing statements about Ramadan, but not Ash Wednesday?

President Trump appointed Jeffrey Kuhlman, Tony Mattivi & Anthony Powell, whom I was pleased to recommend, to the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. After a lengthy process where I had the opportunity to meet with many qualified candidates who expressed interest in serving on the bench, these individuals stood out for their deep commitment to serving Kansas and our country, pursuing justice and upholding the rule of law. I am grateful for the President’s confidence in these candidates, and I look forward to their confirmation process in the Senate.
