As you may have seen, we welcomed a kitten to the family. Meanwhile, TSF implemented his stupid tariffs. One has to wonder if he used a dartboard to decide who to slap.

Trump Tariffs Hit Antarctic Islands Inhabited by Zero Humans and Many Penguins
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance. The Heard and McDonald Islands, known for their populations of penguins and seabirds, can only be reached by sea.
Trump announced the countries now subject to tariffs in a Wednesday press conference, using a poster as a prop. Additional countries—including the Heard and McDonald Islands, which are, incidentally, not countries—were listed on sheets of paper distributed to reporters.
The joke is low-hanging seafood. I'll see myself out.

WH: Spring Garden Tours previously scheduled for Saturday 4/5 have been rescheduled for Sunday 4/6. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all within proximity to public demonstrations planned near the White House on Saturday 4/5.
