2/ Trump is visiting the construction site of the renovated Federal Reserve headquarters, a project that is late & over budget. Which is hardly an unusual situation with fed gov't construction. My view: Powell is classy, thoughtful, above-the-fray. He should welcome Trump. —>.

Okay tweets — entomologists and otherwise — this is the critter my wife met in the shower just now. Torso probably 2” long or a bit longer. I think it flies. What is this? Some kind of beetle?. Never seen one like this, and certainly never inside our bathroom!
