I'm a little scared too. [...] But guess what? [...] That's a good thing. [...] My mom told me something when I was about your age and I think it might have been the smartest thing anyone ever told me. You want to hear it? [...] She said that fear is something that lives inside us. Just like hope or joy or love. They're all things that make us special. But fear might be the most important one of all. [...] Because without fear we wouldn't know how to be brave. Fear is what makes us heroes. - Donna Raines, FROM 2x06

It’s time for Glinda’s weigh-in! 🐙⚖️💪

And absolutely no one learned from this.

If I were Boyd, I definitely wouldn’t ask her along after the week she’s had, but if she wanted in, she’s another capable pair of hands who believes in the mission. She was a good pick for the team, until the sun went out 😔

The Supreme Court on Monday handed a loss to President Donald Trump by refusing to hear his attempt to overturn a jury's finding that he sexually abused and later defamed writer E. Jean Carroll. The justices turned away Trump's appeal in the case, meaning that the 2023 jury verdict and a $5 million civil judgment remain in place. The case arose from a federal lawsuit filed by Carroll in Manhattan alleging that Trump assaulted her in the dressing room of a department store in 1996.
