At Home (and in the Garden) With Rosita Missoni

Just outside of Milan, the matriarch of the Missoni family picks freshly grown zucchini for her favorite summer risotto.

Perhaps we can build something satisfactory.

Democrats Sue Trump Campaign Over Leaked Emails Tied to Russia

The invasion of privacy suit accuses the Trump campaign and a top adviser of conspiring with Russia in its release of hacked data that exposed the plaintiffs’ personal details to the public.

All Roads Now Lead to Kushner

The president’s son-in-law has lots of explaining to do.

The Trumps were unable to deliver what Putin wanted in exchange.  The deal collapsed.
The offer was made and considered. 
The consideration may have been a crime.

The horse has left the barn.
Security clearances can be withdrawn.
Knowledge cannot be removed from a mind.
Immurement  might work.

John Oliver Says the Russia Scandal Is Like ‘Stupid Watergate’

Speaking to Stephen Colbert, Mr. Oliver said his team’s off-air jokes about the administration had proved more prescient than he had imagined — or hoped.

They are the political news.
Sad.

Pearson Is Running Out of Assets to Sell

The sale of nearly half of Pearson’s stake in Penguin Random House for about $1 billion does not compensate for the woes in its core education business.

I can hope the wave of stupidity emanating from Texas will break soon.

The children need informative texts.

The actual situation is complicated. 

I don't need to like it.
I do need to deal with it.
