Truly, the money for that exists even when we couldn't POSSIBLY fund healthcare for our own citizens.

Neither the hypocrisy nor the observation of it is new, but I just keep thinking that it's "America First" when it comes to funding USAID's efforts to help people or helping Ukraine, but when it comes to killing innocent civilians abroad, oh, we ALWAYS have the money for that.

US and Israel launch joint attack on Iran as Trump urges regime change US president calls on Iranian people to β€˜take over your government’, as explosions heard across central Tehran

Reminder: Republicans started regime change wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These cost us trillions of dollars, killed hundreds of thousands of people, and were unmitigated disasters. Just in case that might be relevant today. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

We will force a vote on Rep. Thomas Massie and my bipartisan resolution to stop Trump from launching an illegal war in Iran next week. This perhaps will be the most consequential vote in Congress on war or peace since the Iraq war vote in 2002.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

It's a PERFECT book. You write like an absolute dream on every level of writing, from story to structure to pacing to prose. There were so many sections I read over several times for the sheer joy of how you put them together!

Everyone loves gay hockey players, and I am no exception! But these are the ones who have really stolen my heart, in this aching, grounded, transformative story.

Quiet, emotional moments are plumbed with depth & clarity, AND I found myself feverishly page-turning to see what happens next. I was reminded of one of my favorite books, THE ART OF FIELDING, in Wendt's ability to render a sports drama with universal human resonance in the most beautiful language.

It took me entirely too long to get to @hmwendt.bsky.social's HEADING NORTH -- but don't make the same mistake. I just finished and my only criticism is that I wished there were more of it. I wish I was still reading it. It shows that gorgeous prose and heart-pounding moments can go hand-in-hand.

Trump's EPA will stop regulating greenhouse gases, setting up a legal fight The Environmental Protection Agency is eliminating a Clean Air Act finding from 2009 that is the basis for much of the federal government's actions to rein in climate change.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota β€œquick reaction forces” β€” a military term β€” to go after β€œagitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior β€œdeescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

They thought they could break us, but a love for our neighbors and a resolve to endure can outlast an occupation. These patriots of Minneapolis are showing that it’s not just about resistance β€” standing with our neighbors is deeply American.

I'm sorry I didn't have an ISU shirt to wear for the occasion -- although I remember going to ISU for marching band in high school! Not sorry that I'm not wearing Celtics gear. Although of course, despite my contrarian Sixers sweatshirt, I do admire Larry Bird, whose basketball genius is inarguable.

It's been a joy to read O'Brien's prose again, deftly rhythmic, moving from the heartfelt to the wry. He's a master at introducing constellations of human beings, drawing out details that make each distinct & compel the reader's sympathy, & then bringing everything together into a singular journey.

It's a heart-pounding, page-turning story, and at the center, the young Bird, who ranged from effacing to awkward to abrasive in the spotlight. O'Brien, as he did in CHARLIE HUSTLE, brings an empathetic but clear-eyed perspective to the complexities of his hero.

It's been a blast recording @keithob.bsky.social's HEARTLAND, about Larry Bird & the 1979 Indiana State Sycamores -- a Cinderella season held aloft by more miracles than any fairy godmother could give. And maybe the biggest miracle of that season was...it saved basketball? Out 3/3! Pre-order now!

Most likely they get a star for it! (Which I get.) No one has talked to me about it. But would love to be a part of it in any small way!
