This is true. It is the best email I got this year.

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡

Coco Gauff, with the help of the USTA, matched her $3 million earnings for winning the 2023 U.S. Open to renovate tennis courts at Joe W. Brown Park in New Orleans.

Coco dropped in for a surprise visit. This one kid was serious about making his moment count. Look at the concentration!

FUN FACT: A cardboard cutout of Trump would be a better leader.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.

I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

Unbelievable.

Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Pete Hegseth bullying Mark Kelly?

The Man with the Branded Hand | Wisconsin Historical Society Discover the story of Jonathan Walker, "Slave Stealer."

Protesters clash with agents, police during apparent federal raid in St. Paul The confrontation unfolded on Maryland Avenue on the city’s East Side.

A large gathering of protesters converged midday Tuesday on a residential stretch on Maryland Avenue in St. Paul, where they suspected an immigration enforcement action was underway.

Indeed. This is a prescription for Duma.

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

Those who were born at the top of the wealth ladder are always trying to pull it up behind them when they ought to be building a bigger ladder. Oligarchs fear fair competition and will do anything they can to avoid it.

It goes against our nature as human beings - most of us want to help others.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

Garcia: We know this is a nation of immigrants, and Donald Trump is attacking the very identity of our country. Right now, whether you are documented or not, whether you are seeking asylum at our border or have been here for decades, you could be targeted by this administration.

Evacuation Day: Marking the End of the Revolutionary War We know how to honor the image of soldiers charging forward, but we often forget to cheer the backs of troops as they peaceably depart.

Today is the anniversary of the British evacuating New York City after the end of the Revolutionary War. Here's how I learned about it: the piece that introduced me to the terrific work of @bencarp.bsky.social

Californians are buying ice scrapers at Home Depot, then immediately returning them....bogging down the entire store, until Home Depot refuses to allow ICE to loiter at their location to detain innocent people.

Winter is coming. Scrape ICE.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.


The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Here it comes: the crisis wave of Americans making the tough choice to drop coverage — in the face or rising premiums.

📌They appease Vladimir Putin and come after Mark Kelly.

Traitors. All of ‘em.

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
