happy bday Gerónimo b.1829, "military leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band of the Ndendahe Apache people."

"I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and sheltered by the trees as other Indian babes. I can go everywhere with a good feeling."

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

I’m begging politicians to stop saying “Let me be clear” at the beginning of every statement.

“At the end of the day” can go too.

Elon Musk's Reign of Corruption Chronicled in Elizabeth Warren Report Warren’s report is focused on Musk’s misuse of political power for personal gain as Donald Trump’s DOGE chief.

I joke about WITAOD a lot, but seriously:

If you're a reporter (or just a curious person) wondering why “who really runs DOGE?” is a central question in the litigation challenging its dismantling of the federal government — read this piece!

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

FACT CHECK: Habeas corpus is the centuries-old legal procedure that protects AGAINST unlawful imprisonment, and is a crucial part of our fundamental right to due process.

them: anna, why do you keep talking about this? why do you care so much?

me: uhhh… bc the Trump administration is lying — to you, to judges — about who's actually in charge of the organization that's actively nuking the federal government???

The Delusion of “Advanced” Plastic Recycling The plastics industry has heralded a type of chemical recycling it claims could replace new shopping bags and candy wrappers with old ones — but not much is being recycled at all, and this method won’...

The world is drowning in plastic.

Experts say we need to stop making so much.

But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic.

i find this statement very credible

Well deserved,
Our laureate as well!

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

One way of looking at yesterday is that Trump forgot the lesson of the law firms and universities. Go after one country at a time and that country is in a jam. Go after literally every country in the world at once, including the penguin countries, and you’re in the jam.

BANKS: You probably deserved it

MACK: Why did I deserve it?

BANKS: Because you look like a clown
