Isn’t that amazing?

At least that was a positive unifying experience from yesterday.
I want to share a couple more items on the moon mission:

BULLETIN: Pam Bondi is out as attorney general, President Donald Trump announced just after 1 p.m.
Bondi’s dismissal marks the second ouster from Trump’s beleaguered Cabinet ranks in as many months. Todd Blanche will step in to serve as acting AG, Trump said. Blanche thanked Trump and praised Bondi in a statement posted on X.
“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future,” Trump said in his post on Truth Social.
Bondi’s firing follows reporting last night that Trump was considering replacing her with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. Bondi had a fraught tenure as the country’s top law enforcement official. She faced bipartisan backlash over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files (for which she’s been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee) and apparent frustration from Trump himself over her failure to successfully prosecute his political enemies. More from POLITICO’s Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein
Dems remain eager to hold her feet to the fire over the Epstein saga: “She will not escape accountability and remains legally obligated to appear before our Committee under oath,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top House Oversight Democrat, said in a statement. “She must answer for her mishandling of the Epstein files and the special treatment she has given Ghislaine Maxwell. … If they think we are moving on because they were fired, they are gravely mistaken.”
Not all her Republican colleagues are shedding tears. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), another vocal critic of the administration’s conduct surrounding the Epstein files, said in a statement that Bondi handled the files in a “terrible manner” and “seriously undermined” Trump, adding she welcomes a new AG coming in to pick up the pieces.
and there it is:
Throwing hissy fits because they can’t deliver what he wants which is basically stuff that’s not legal or even real.

In Cajun Country, mass deportation is personal
“Last weekend, people came out to protest the Trump administration in Lafayettes across the U.S., from Colorado to Indiana. But in Cajun country, the Trump administration’s immigration policy especially has hit a nerve with some who see it as an affront to the region’s deep immigrant roots.
“The ancestors of people who are Cajun would be rolling over in their graves to think that Cajuns would be supporting mass deportation,” says Claire Dawkins, a Lafayette native who attended Saturday’s No Kings rally at Downtown Lafayette’s Prejean Unity Point with her parents and children. “It goes against our culture, our values.”
The story of that culture itself begins with an exodus, a scattering.
In 1755, Acadian families were driven from their homes in what is now Nova Scotia, dispersed across the globe during Le Grand Dérangement. Many of them made their way to Louisiana, where generations later the memory of displacement still lingers.
In South Louisiana, the expulsion has lived on as a story: one passed down through family histories, music, folklore and tradition, where themes of identity and belonging appear again and again. In the current political climate, that collective memory is more than just history for some in Acadiana: It’s a lens for what’s happening, and it’s shaping their response today.
Kara St. Clair, a Lafayette native living in New Orleans, says she’d been looking for a way to represent her heritage in opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration policies. When the Department of Homeland Security announced Operation Catahoula Crunch late last year, she quickly pulled together a design and posted it online.
Since then, she says, she’s received close to a thousand orders. Simple in design, T-shirts and buttons read “Cajuns Against Mass Deportation since 1755” with two words in French below it, “réveillez” and “résistez” — wake up and resist.
“When I was really young, it was kind of embarrassing to embrace your Cajun identity, and I’ve seen that change over the years,” St. Clair says. “
