Not sure how it plays but would make a heck of a piece of art to hang on the wall

A Danish MCM piano?Produced by Brødrene Jørgensen in the 1960s. (Denmark). Jorgensen was Danish piano factory known for Scandinavian craftsmanship.
Model: "Minerva," their most iconic model, which is even featured in the Danish Music History Museum.
The teak wood is even more stunning in person.

Another brand bites the dustthose of you who appreciated fine and sophisticated music in the 1960s would associate the brand with the song… What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a loser out of me …
My era, but the music was unknown to me, probably because I didn't listen to country music.

The week that broke Trump's control of the SenateFrom the WSJ's lips to God's ear.
Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, and a team of White House aides arrived at a hastily organized meeting near the Senate chamber hoping to reassure Republicans about a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund” promoted by President Trump.
Sen. Tom Cotton, a Trump ally from Arkansas, wasn’t having it.
“Who thought this was a good idea? Who chose this timing?” Cotton asked bluntly inside the Senate’s ornate Mike Mansfield Room, pressing Blanche, White House legislative affairs director James Braid and others about the fund with a series of point-blank questions, according to people familiar with the tense exchange.
Cotton was far from alone—more than a dozen Republican senators grilled Blanche about the settlement in the two-hour meeting, the people said, questioning its merit and warning that it could derail approval of a $70 billion multiyear package funding immigration enforcement.
“One of the roughest meetings I’ve seen in my entire time in the Senate,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), said Friday on his podcast. “Fiery does not begin to cut it,” Cruz said, adding that some senators were screaming at Blanche.
For more than a year, Republican senators had largely been deferential to Trump’s wishes—from backing contentious cabinet nominees to giving the president free rein on tariffs and the Iran war.
This week, they revolted en masse, fed up with Trump’s insistence on settling personal scores and pursuing pet projects at the expense of their legislative agenda. The tipping point came when Trump endorsed a rival to Texas Sen. John Cornyn on Tuesday, a move that stunned many of Cornyn’s colleagues. They saw it as a reckless way to treat a senior Republican incumbent whose seat the party can’t afford to lose in November.

Remarkable use of our tax dollars@Bernard Yes, I guess they would be.
I doubt that Comey is actually going to apply. I think he's just pointing out the unintended consequences and needling Trump about the lawfare he is exercising against Comey
Cohen falls in the camp with the rioters, at least theoretically. Lawfare by the Biden administration against him. And I'm guessing he's more desperate for money, which I doubt Comey is. I've never thought of him as someone acting on principle.
I would be totally surprised if Powell applied for compensation. as a matter of fact, I doubt he would ever even make any comments about the compensation fund, and certainly not while he's still a Fed governor.
