Sitting behind the Resolute desk, Donald Trump fixed his gaze on JD Vance’s and Marco Rubio’s feet. “Marco, JD, you guys have s—y shoes,” said the US president, consulting a catalogue and asking their shoe size. Rubio said 11.5 and Vance 13. Trump leaned back in his chair and remarked: “You can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.”

The president has even developed a parlour trick: guessing people’s shoe sizes. Once satisfied, he instructs an aide to place an order. A week later, a brown box arrives at the White House, sometimes bearing a signature or a brief note of thanks from Trump, the Journal reports. - The Guardian

Scoop: The Pentagon barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed “unflattering.”

My baby & best friend Valentine…… He was missing for the daybreak feeding this morning, I went all over my property calling his name but no sign of him. Was totally frantic and getting dressed to go looking for him outside the gates when he suddenly appeared on the kitchen table. Now here he is snoozing in his favorite spot by the window. I’m going to take his return as a sign that things can suddenly get a whole lot better, I hope that it’s true for us all…….

More on the Bondi move. It was the monumental screw ups with Epstein.

She gets moved to safety, but the survivors? Oh, well.

“This latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files is being sold as transparency, but what it actually does is expose survivors,” Epstein victims wrote in a statement following the release. “Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous,"
