Casar: What’s just so sick about it is these right-wing politicians—they eat food cooked by immigrants, they get their fancy cars cleaned by immigrants, they do their corrupt deals in buildings engineered, built, and maintained by immigrants—then they have the gall to turn around and say immigrants are the problem. Guess what? An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent—a hedge fund did.

Everyone assumed Hugh Hefner's 26-year-old bride married him for his money. She says he paid her $1,000 a week and made her beg for it. Crystal Harris moved into the Playboy Mansion in her early 20s as one of Hefner's live-in girlfriends. On Piers Morgan she described payday: "He would give me enough, but not ever enough to leave... A thousand dollars every Friday that I had to beg for. And he would count it out. 100, 200, 300." The marriage came in 2012, when Hefner was 86. There was no proposal. He handed over a ring, and Crystal figured a "no" meant leaving the next day. Hefner died in 2017 at 91. An estate reported at about $43 million went to his four children, a film school and charities. The wife wasn't in the will. At her Friday rate, that fortune would take over 800 years to collect. Separately, Crystal kept a Hollywood Hills house worth about $5 million that Hefner had bought in 2013. In the video below she also tells Piers what happened on her first night with Hefner and three other girls, why she faked being happy on TV, and whether being a playmate was always a transaction. Was Crystal a victim, or did she get exactly the deal she signed up for?

Irony is dead 💀 . . . and a reminder that his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, died by suicide after years of emotional and psychological abuse at his hands during their final years of marriage, according to her family.

It's funny how Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton are running on "Fixing Texas" when the Republicans have controlled the entire state for 30 goddamn years

This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China. wsj.com/world/russia/putin-f…

PS I’ve met Putin many times and listened in on calls with him as well. I also speak Russian. Yes he is soft spoken, deliberate, and measured. So what? He’s still a killer. He still launched a barbaric invasion of Ukraine, that has produced tragic loss of life not seen on this scale in Europe since WWII.
Vance: "I've never met Putin in person. I've spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He's very deliberate and measured in his words. I think, at his core, he's someone who cares about Russia's interests as he sees them. One reason he respects the President is that he recognizes the President cares about the interests of the American people."

Looking forward to the orange version of this coming soon.
These are the statues of Qin Hui, a notoriously corrupt 12th-century Chinese official, and his wife Wang, kneeling forever in apology. For centuries, people have spat on, cursed, and slapped the statues to show lasting contempt.

We have reached the point where a former President of the United States has to remind the current president that criticizing him isn't grounds for deportation.

In fact, Russian attacks have been killing Ukrainian civilians daily - and attacks have accelerated since Trump took office.

NEW: Elon Musk gave Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott's campaign $500,000. About 3 months later, Abbott signed off on over $1.6 billion in tax breaks for Musk's chip plant.

Absolutely despicable. Everything is a transaction with Trump. He does nothing unless it’s good for him. He is corrupt and cruel. They are fighting for their survival.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.
