I started a Substack newsletter focusing on the history of French food (and busting the myths behind French cuisine), one recipe or one ingredient at a time. It's a rambunctious and surprising trip through history and so many excellent, delicious, easy-to-make recipes. jamieschler.substack.com

A huge thank you to all who follow me! Just to introduce myself to those who may not know me: I'm a writer specializing in traditional French food - mostly home cooking/baking, local, regional, & historic recipes - and French culinary history. After freelancing for a few years (and 1 cookbook) 👇

This is what the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool looks like today after a $17M deliberate fuck up and the orange felon won’t stop until he destroys everything. Makes me sick to my stomach every day.

The greatest threat to our freedom, our future and to the life of every woman, that politicians are too afraid to confront. The only openly god-disbelieving member of Congress is trying to end that silence. Watch when you have a quiet hour and share youtu.be/usWVhERsFk4?...

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

Durbin: "Mr Blanche has aided and abetted the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States ... Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about he statement he made in a room full of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."

Tillis and Cornyn have caved to Trump’s $100 million IRS immunity, but that’s just one reason to reject him as AG. Here are many more:

Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Sadly, it was raining both days we visited the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary on the banks of the Mississippi. But having this Indigo Bunting serenade me made it all worthwhile! 💙💙💙 #IndigoBunting #Riverlands #birdsseenin2026

AI sell-off deepens as chip stocks slump in market retreat - business live

theguardian.comAI sell-off deepens as chip stocks slump in market retreat - business liveRolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news The rout in AI stocks also followed a report by the Information that China has begun mass production of homegrown deep ultraviolet, or DUV, chipmaking tools. Jing Jie Yu, an equity analyst at Morningstar, said: We believe the market was likely spooked by the progress of China’s chipmaking equipment capabilities, and was worried that this progress would threaten the competitive position of global chipmaking and chip equipment leaders. That said, we believe the sell-off today is largely a knee-jerk reaction and overdone. This meant that the S&P 500 (+0.02%) and Nasdaq (-0.16%) were little changed yesterday after an initial rally, whilst the Philly Semi Stock Exchange Index (-2.23%) fell further. The equity performance also wasn’t helped by new highs in real yields, though nominal 10yr Treasury yields (-2.8bps) came down as Brent crude fell -8.70% yesterday, in its largest decline since April. It is an additional -2.0% lower this morning, trading at $86.59/bbl, after being at $101 on Friday morning. S&P 500 (-0.22%) and Nasdaq (-0.74%) futures are lower this morning. 7am BST: Barclays half year results, Unilever half year results, GSK second quarter earnings, Games Workshop full year results Today: Tate & Lyle holds a general meeting in London for shareholders to vote on proposed acquisition by Ingredion Continue reading...

We all know this still stinks to high heaven. Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell. “I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

Trump’s Little Johnson (R-LA) says the Pentagon is demanding $350 billion to “fight Communism on our own shores.” Welcome to McCarthyism and the Red Scare 2.0 Stop weaponizing our military against us and #FundHealthcareNotWars you sycophantic bootlicker.

The US spends $886B on defense while 68 million people lack adequate healthcare. This is a priorities problem. Corrupt Republicans chose bombs over your body. It is time to hold them accountable. #FundHealthcareNotWars

The orange felon blames mail-in voting, immigrants and felons for destroying America, yet he marries immigrants, he votes by mail and he’s a convicted felon. Funny how that bullshit hypocrisy works.
