But they felt spending was such a “big problem” that they illegally impounded lifesaving foreign aid, killing hundreds of thousands, and they ripped food and health care away from millions in OBBBA

“The Framers gave Congress alone the power to impose tariffs during peacetime”

He is ONE MILLION PERCENT going to start a war, so it will not be “peacetime” anymore.

I have a child going to university in the UK. All of the professors there are gobsmacked. They cannot believe what’s happening here.

Sat near Peter Fonda in a restaurant. Saw two BTS members at a Cirque de Soleil show. Not me, but my daughter saw J Lo up close at a camp her kids were attending.

Black and white photo of Margot Frank smiling at the camera.

16 February 1926 | A German Jewish girl Margot Frank, Anne's older sister, was born in Frankfurt. She and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam. After being arrested, they were deported with their parents to #Auschwitz. The sisters perished in Bergen-Belsen.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney.

If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

It’s the only way.

Know what keeps me awake at night? Awareness of how much damage has been done to the military and civil service since 2017.

The entire culture of public service inside agencies has been shattered, and fixing it is not simply a matter of hiring back some people and rewriting a few policies.

Incredible that so many US Catholics, including parish clergy, sold their entire soul to Trump just because they thought he was “the pro-life President.”

This dude’s son wrote an article for our town’s high school newspaper extolling the virtues of Andrew Tate and his vision for women. Imagine the twisted things he’s teaching his kids at home.

Yes, appalling! Other parents and I were successful in having school policies changed to prevent future antics like that.

This dude’s son wrote an article for our town’s high school newspaper extolling the virtues of Andrew Tate and his vision for women. You can just imagine the twisted things he’s teaching his kids at home.

That’s because all he knows how to do is troll on social media, then block people who dare to challenge him. He lives in a bubble where he never has to actually talk to real people about why he’s so racist.

He obviously knows the jobs report this week is going to be terrible. But Haslett says not to worry because a tiny handful of people are concentrating more wealth than at any point in human history and we should all be happy for them. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Rip out your Ring doorbell RN, jfc

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”

Bingo.

Loved that one.

Slow Horses is fantastic fun.

I was looking for someone to recommend this! Best series.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I’ve been thinking this for a long time. As someone who really wants to read and support smart media, I just can’t afford to subscribe to all these independent outlets. There is a lot lost by not having a single overarching platform—for both writers and readers.
