Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, the smart money on Wall Street already hates Trump so much that short sellers are crushing his Truth Social stock price and shorting it in advance of today’s public trading.
Then, on the rest of the menu, a scheduled “Drag Queen Story Hour” at a Lancaster, Pennsylvania library was canceled after a suspicious package was found in the building; months after his disputed one-vote victory in a Louisiana sheriff’s race was tossed by a court, a Black career law enforcement officer was decisively elected on his second try; and, the Wyoming Republican Governor vetoed a bill that would have allowed people to carry concealed guns in public schools and government meetings.
After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where a Spanish judge opened an investigation into fraud and false documentation against the partner of Madrid’s powerful rightwing regional president; and, with just weeks until the general election, supporters of an anti-corruption crusader and one of India’s most consequential politicians of the past decade in opposition to Modi, held protests against his arrest.
Bon Appétit!

Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones. -- JP
