Goby, a fluffy ginger cat, loafing on a dark blue heating pad that is on top of a purple blanket. He is facing towards the viewer’s left and has a stern look on his face. His fluffy tail is in the foreground of the picture.
Does this look like the face of a criminal? Staff says I woke her up one too many, OK 4, times last night 😴 💤 #KittyLoafMonday #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats #GingerCats #CatsAreFamily

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?
Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.
i think people should ask themselves if their theory of the american public is true, is democracy actually possible?

New: Immigrant rights advocates filed a lawsuit in Boston seeking to stop President Trump's administration from next week ending legal protections that allow nearly 1,100 Somalis to live and work in the United States, after he derided them as "garbage." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

It's kind of stunning to see how many people in power in American politics actively do not want people like me to move to, live and work in the US, but it does confirm why I left

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.
He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.
striking photo of a black and white tuxedo cat. The entire photo is almost entirely a velvety black except a curving line of white fur and the cat's gold eye which are illuminated by a sliver of sunbeam.

Good to see this.
And good reminder of a cost of anti-reform DA politics.
Reform DAs have never been SOFT on crime, they just want to REALLOCATE their attention.
Towards, for ex, police violence.
It’s why Krasner and Moriarty (Mpls) have been so vocal, O’Neill (Chi) and Hochman (LA) so quiet.
The economy wasn’t doing great before Iran and it sure isn’t doing well now. Fool’s Golden Age.

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics.
We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

I find it odd how many people have internalized the idea that a more democratic Iran would be a weaker power?

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.
In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.
Iftar, Day 19

A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz.

Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas — immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
Just, in every possible way, precisely the opposite of how they treated Biden.

YES. In the same sentence he said the war was complete, he proposed a policy that would vastly enlarge the war! Media reported the first half, and then later reported a different part to make it seem like a change! But it was incoherent, nonsensical slop all along.
This, too, is sanewashing!
You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.
It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.
