After spending the day going through my inbox, I’ve decided I would pay twice my regular subscription rate for half the number of newsletters.

If I have a paid subscription, it’s because I want to support your work—not feel guilty that I can’t read enough of it!

Is this supposed to be a word of comfort for…ICE agents??

Say a prayer for the civics teachers of America, who are trying—against all odds and daily headlines—to teach our kids how democratic government is *supposed* to work.

You should absolutely opt out of this feature—and you should absolutely know that doing so will screw up your existing user experience because tech companies are awful.

Opting out eliminates your inbox categories (e.g., social, promotion, primary). I went from Inbox 150 to 3,147.

sweet potato pudding with pecan and gingersnap streusel as i was going through last year’s bon appetit thanksgiving issue looking for recipe ideas for our holiday dinner party, i stumbled upon this little treasure. it is a yummy twist on the tradi…

This sweet potato pudding never fails. My kids beg for it.

“All charges against her have been dropped.”

ICE lied. Again. With impunity. They’ll do it again when they inevitably kill a U.S. citizen.

Congress could restrict ICE if Republicans cared to.

So it’s worse than we thought

Among maaaaany other things, do these vehicles know how to drive on snow and ice?

Because there are some major nuances in understanding the different types of wintery ground coverings and how to navigate them. You're processing a million tiny details at once.

ICE Agents Raid a Church With No Explanation Operation “Charlotte’s Web” continues.

One thing I learned from “The Wire” is that even professional gangsters have enough decency not to do hits at church newrepublic.com/post/203321/...

“Quiet, piggy.”

Whatever filters the man once had—and there were vanishingly few—they are all gone.

All I see is a senile old man in a home, abusing the staff who are just trying to take care of him because his children will no longer speak to him.

I wish you luck!

How old and which movie? Because I learned the hard way that movies don’t necessarily make babies zone out and fall asleep!

I dunno what it is with liberal journalist dudes quoting Buddha, but let's consider it the red flag of 2025.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

US intelligence determined that MBS ordered the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was dismembered with a bone saw.

Trump today: MBS didn't know, and "things happen." www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/u...

Tell Students the Truth About American History We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

Is there any reason to think that Trump’s about-face is any more sophisticated than thinking he can say he wants all the files released and then tell Pam to only include the ones that mention Dems?

The man is basically Mayor Humdinger when it comes to covering up his misdeeds.

Perfection.

This is what we’ve been saying here in Chicago since ICE arrived. When they’re chasing down landscapers and kidnapping guys coming out of coffee shops and terrorizing nannies in parks, they’re not looking for criminals. They’re criminalizing being brown in America.

This can’t be said often enough

The elite few people in this country who are actually in a position to stand up to Donald Trump are totally silent.

Biggest reason to read NOBODY’S GIRL right now is to understand why Ghislaine Maxwell should never ever ever get out of prison.

Even after ingesting a ton of Epstein coverage, I thought of her mostly as an enabler, but she was every bit as evil and culpable as Epstein. No pardon ever.

It is a harrowing read. But the very least every member of Congress can do is make it through a few chapters of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir NOBODY’S GIRL. My god.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Not one more solitary word about what WOMEN have ruined. Ever.

The nerve.

I don’t want to tell the bishops how to do their job, but maybe if they’d focused as much attention on immigration as they did on largely baseless “threats” to religious freedom over the past two decades, Trump’s fear-mongering wouldn’t have been so successful.

Ahem.

Mike Johnson Gets Brutal Instant Fact Check Over The Rep He Still Refuses To Swear In Adelita Grijalva still hasn't been sworn in more than three weeks after winning her election.

At the very least @schumer.senate.gov should have forced Johnson to do his Constitutional duty and swear in Grijalva. But she'd force him to release the Epstein Files. www.huffpost.com/entry/mike-j...

Nancy Pelosi would never.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous
