Zelensky and E.U. Leaders Try to Understand Why Trump Abandoned Idea of a Cease-Fire President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine will go to Washington on Monday seeking answers.

After President Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia ended inconclusive peace talks, Ukraine, striving to avoid being sidelined, was left to piece together what the two leaders had actually discussed.

In inauguration, Leo urges end to division: It’s β€˜the hour for love’ Leo, the first American and second Latin American pope, celebrated his inaugural mass at the Vatican after waving to the faithful on the popemobile.

The Catholic Church inaugurated its 267th pope on Sunday, who sought to position himself as a humble unifier in an age of arrogance, hatred and division.

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to β€œdrain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Two hands hold a small red card with white lettering against a wallet.

Known as the red card, a resource distributed by the nonprofit Immigrant Legal Resource Center lists tips and legal rights for immigrants who might find themselves targeted by federal agents. Demand for the cards has surged since President Trump returned to office. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

This is what spending $290 million on an election gets you.

Money in politics has always corrupted, but it's hardly been this brazen.

The sorrow, hope and longing of Japan’s β€˜Missing Post Office’ An old post office in southern Japan has become a destination, both tourist and postal, for people who are not yet ready to let go of their loved ones.

The β€œMissing Post Office” is a repository for 60,000-plus pieces of mail: letters, birthday cards and New Year’s greetings sent from all over Japan to those with no forwarding address.

Lost friends and pets; past and future selves; and, most frequently, the dead.

The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease researchβ€”it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more.

Thanks to NIH, we have:
πŸ’‰ Cancer immunotherapy
❀️ Cholesterol-lowering statins

Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

I blame dystopian fiction for the expectations I am seeing. Ironically, those books largely come after 50 years (or more) for a reason. You think the revolution is immediate because that's when you're brought into the story. But if the fall took decades, the revolution also took decades.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.

They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.

The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China β€” our biggest trading partners β€” are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.
