I love that place. Stayed there two years ago.

Journalists slain at record level in 2025, majority by Israel, watchdog says An increasing number of journalists were killed by drones, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. The IDF said it “strongly rejects” the group’s findings.

Last year was the deadliest on record for journalists.

For the third year in a row, Israel killed more journalists and media workers than any other country amid the war in Gaza, according to a report released by the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

It’s amazing the efficiencies we find when necessary.

American citizens don’t have a corner on racism and Islamophobia. Exhibit A: green card holding Chinese dietician in a certain Florida hospital who basically holds the same views as my evangelical mom.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Some savings…

47 circus roof garden for dinner.
Loved the walk to the American academy past the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola and then down to the river along via Girabaldi.
And I think it was sunset cocktails atop hotel Rafael at piazza Navona that captured my heart.

TARGET 12: Just before Alviti's resignation, over 700 bridges were taken out of RIDOT's quarterly progress report to lawmakers - a change that let RIDOT claim it hit the 90% bridge sufficiency goal set 10 years ago

Goalposts moved in budget docs, too www.wpri.com/target-12/ri...

And most right wing “economic” talking points

I love their posts! Didn’t know they were located in providence. So cool

I didn’t realize providence even had street parking with that level of regulation.

Where is this enchanting (sounding) place?

It’s such a. Challenge but challenge is good for those of us living in the blue bubbles.

Former resident, current visitor. Glad to see this happened. All I can remember from the Obama years was a lot of overt racism.

In the southern US with family this weekend. Every trip home reminds me of how divided this country is. Even my non-Fox News watching, but low-information, evangelical, racist relatives are spewing conservative talking points. I blame Facebook, their primary media outlet. (Excepting Aunt Martha)

Illegally arresting journalists before releasing the Epstein Files.

Falsifying Georgia voting records before releasing the Epstein Files.

Tying to destroy the independence of Federal Reserve before releasing the Epstein Files.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

(H/T longtimehistory)

It's crazy to see DNI Tulsi Gabbard investigate the Fulton County fake election conspiracy with the FBI.

Why don't they put that same amount of effort into releasing the Epstein files?

Where are the rest of the Epstein files and why does the media keep letting the orange tyrant distract them?

Odd that so far I haven’t heard anyone mention snowmageddon.

An Un-MAGA Proposal to Bring Back American Manufacturing Follow the path of Italy, France and Japan.

I'm excited to announce I'm doing a new Bloomberg column about the business of fashion. The first column is about how we can re-shore US garment manufacturing. Instead of mass deportations and raising tariffs, I argue the government should move the industry upstream:
