I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell is essentially on paid sick & medical leave.

The same employment protection he has spent his career blocking other Americans from having.

Graham Platner should obviously drop out and I think he will drop out, but jesus christ, men -- if you've raped, abused, or otherwise badly mistreated women or anyone in the past, can you please just sit out running for office? Even if you believe you've changed, maybe work on a campaign or help someone you believe in, but perhaps one cost of your bad behavior is that you don't get to hold a position of extraordinary power.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN —who was killed in Kuwait while serving our country—received many awards for her service. She was also an avid gardener who made salsa from the peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son, a senior in high school. She also enjoyed rollerblading and bicycling with her fourth-grade daughter. Here she is with her husband Joey. 🙏

[Drake University @DrakeUniversity]

We are heartbroken to learn that Declan Coady—a well-loved and highly dedicated Drake University student studying information systems, cybersecurity, and computer science—was confirmed to be among the six U.S. service members killed in Kuwait on Sunday. He has bravely served in the U.S. Army Reserves since 2023 as an Information Technologies Specialist and had an incredibly bright future ahead of him. In moments like these, we must all come together to show much-needed love and compassion for the Coady family through this incredibly difficult time.

The data is in.

Washington, D.C. just had its coldest meteorological winter in 23 years.

However, with only 9.6” of snow, it was not a snowy one.

Impressive temperatures for a massive urban heat island!

BREAKING: GW sold its Virginia campus to Amazon Data Services, an Amazon subsidiary that manages the company’s data centers, for $427 million on Friday. The deed, obtained by The Hatchet, authorizes ADS to develop the campus into a data or information technology center. STORY TK

EXCLUSIVE: An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Other documents that mention Trump have been taken down (and some restored).

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little to no real oversight.

“Fourteen-year-old Ariana Velasquez had been held at the immigrant detention center in Dilley, Texas, with her mother for some 45 days when I managed to get inside to meet her. The staff brought everyone in the visiting room a boxed lunch from the cafeteria: a cup of yellowish stew and a hamburger patty in a plain bun. Ariana’s long black curls hung loosely around her face and she was wearing a government-issued gray sweatsuit. At first, she sat looking blankly down at the table. She poked at her food with a plastic fork and let her mother do most of the talking.”

Concentration camps:

"I saw people lying in feces, throwing up, and sleeping in urine."

[Mustafa @oprydai]

this quote from Carl Jung hits so hard.

"The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live."

I’ve said it before, but I’ve never despised a politician more than JD Vance. There’s no bottom to how shameless, self-serving, and hollow he is—a bootlicker who believes in nothing but his own ambition. To me, he’s even more dangerous than Trump.

[Tim Hirschel-Burns @TimH_B]

I don’t think people realize how monstrous the destruction of USAID was.

It was stuff like locking warehouses of medicines the US had ALREADY paid for. Discharging sick people from hospital.

They were warned people would die, and we know the names of people who did
