Extremely gratified to see this decision we’ve been waiting for! I was proud to co-author the brief for the United States as amicus in this important case, perhaps one of the most important developments in decades in Voting Rights Act jurisprudence!
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire
🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana's new congressional map that added a second majority-black district, holding that it constitutes a racial gerrymander. The Court narrows its previous interpretation of the Voting Rights Act.

@TonyBrunoShow @jimmykimmel As a Disney shareholder as well, I demand the firing of these two liars. Perhaps federal charges too!

@gothburz Next time just use $25. A bottle. Trump is all about saving money. These slum dogs won’t know the difference anyway

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.
The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.
A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.
Everything else was improvised.
I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.
What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.
I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.
She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.
The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet.
The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent.
That's priority.
The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago.
A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.
That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details.
I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column.
I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously.
188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken.
A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

🚨BERNIE SANDERS JUST GOT CAUGHT IN A MASSIVE $1.6 MILLION TAX EVASION SCANDAL — THE SOCIALIST MILLIONAIRE HAS 30 DAYS TO COUGH UP WHAT HE OWES AFTER DOGE BUSTED HIM HIDING INCOME!
The grumpy old communist who spent decades screaming about “the rich paying their fair share” failed to report grant money as income — including $5 MILLION funneled straight into his Cayman Islands accounts.
Now he’s been referred to the Justice Department for tax evasion.
This is the same guy who wants to raise your taxes while stashing his own cash offshore like a true elite hypocrite.
Bernie’s entire “eat the rich” grift was always a scam — he just never thought the rules would apply to him! The socialist fraud is finally getting a taste of the medicine he’s been forcing on everyone else.
SHARE THIS BEFORE THE MEDIA TRIES TO BURY ANOTHER DEMOCRAT TAX CHEAT AND PRETEND BERNIE IS JUST A LOVEABLE OLD MAN!

Starting the horror show tonight with CBS News journalist Christina Ruffini in whatever this is!
It’s not so hard to find honest friends in 2026 but I guess it is…
This looks like layers of trash bags and it’s just plain awful.

📸FRIDAY NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY TIMELINE CLEANSE📸
I'm really not a wildlife photographer, but because I'm always out looking for spectacular landscapes, sometimes I get lucky with wildlife.
Such was the case here. I call it "The Great Egret Dance," and it shows the mating ritual of two Great Egrets.
I was hiking the cliff line at Wilder Ranch State Park near Santa Cruz, California, when off in the distance I saw this pair bouncing up and down in a little draw off the cliffs, in a beautiful dance reminiscent of ballet. I had a telephoto with me, and was blessed to capture this shot.
Nikon D700, Nikkor 70-300mm zoom @ 300mm, handheld, ISO 500, f/14, 1/800th.

I recently went to my favorite @leica dealer in #miami and bought a Leica M EV1 and put my Summilux 21mm aspherical lens on it. I was sitting in the kitchen talking with my daughter @savannaholeary yesterday when the sun burst through the window. She grabbed the Leica and got this shot. Look at the fuc#ing detail even in the shadows. The camera is insane but its the Leica glass that creates the art!
