Wait President Trump just threw in a little Shakespeare? I guess this proves the monkey-typewriter hypothesis.
President Trump on U.S. aid to Israel: "We were giving them $4 billion. We are. But it gets cut off at the end of the year. Why? Because they don't need it. "Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don't need it? It's a bad talking point."

Seems to me that a constitutional amendment taking away (or weakening somehow) the president’s pardon power would have a good shot at passing, no?
GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley, who voted to expel George Santos (twice) from the House, reacts to President Trump commuting his sentence.

Missing from the WaPo story is whether or not WaPo has agreed to this sign on to this restriction. That seems relevant.
WaPo: Pentagon says it will require reporters "to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey." washingtonpost.com/business/…

2 years ago I was deep in the archives and found a fascinating unpublished 1962 interview with Vladimir Nabokov. I'm happy to say it is now available for all to read in the latest issue of the NOJ. See comments for the link.

I’m happy to say that it’s publication day for my new book of poems, Rains Rain. Endless thanks to Diane Kistner and the folks at FutureCycle Press for making it happen. It’s on Amazon, but if you want a signed copy, DM me and you can pay me directly and I will send you a copy.
