Iran targeted UAE the most. β€œThey can hardly believe US impotence at protecting oil installations & shipping, & the US inability..to rapidly refresh their dwindling stocks of interceptors. There's a profound sense that US military bases have become a source of threat rather than security"

I wanted so badly for Target to be on the right side of this. They're a MN company! They were the largest fiscal sponsor of Twin Cities Pride! And they also have finally agreed to do the thibgs they volunteered to do...back in 2021.

Tweet by Team Talarico claiming Texas Democratic primary turnout was the highest ever and exceeded Republican turnout, with a CNN graphic showing estimated turnout of about 2.3 million compared with a historical average of 978,000.

It's time, Texas. Vote for Talarico.

Tuberville's tweet is so far out of line.
So unAmerican in my book.

Ever since DOGE & Leon gleefully started the process of gutting our institutions---agencies that exist for societal betterment, safety nets, or protections---I've been baffled about who the audience is for this. It's all fun & "own the libs" until the next weather disaster is on your doorstep. Duh.

I guess we have to wait until after an attack to ask why a real counterterrorism expert isn't in the position. Such people do exist.

The paradox of 2026 : I feel strongly that we will win this country back one election at a time, up thru the Nov elections.

But getting thru the elections may well require all our attention, love, strength, courage, compassion, creativity, strategy, shoe leather, elbow grease, & sweat equity.

One in five child care workers are immigrants. When you raid and deport them, you aren't just upending an individual’s life. You’re closing child care centers, reducing capacity, and driving up costs for every working parent in America.

The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Despite similar infrastructure and vehicle fleets, the US and Canada are going in very different directions when it comes to traffic safety. A new study breaks down the divergence.

What about the physical enormity of the US? Does that force people to drive more?

No, it doesn't.

Canada is an even more spacious country, and residents drive a lot less (and are <1/2 as likely to die in a crash).
