We have to remember that each of has has drunk from wells we did not dig; that each of us has been warmed by fires we did not build.

NEWS: The gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team has declined an invitation to attend Trump’s State of the Union.

This comes after Trump was heard telling the men’s team he’d begrudgingly invite the women’s champions or risk impeachment. https://t.co/V7elwNcBEC

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

The history books quietly bypassed is that Barack Obama, during the most pressure-saturated nights of his presidency, would retreat alone to the Treaty Room on the second floor of the White House residence — not to strategize, not to take calls, but to handwrite personal letters to ten ordinary American citizens every single night, a practice he maintained with almost monastic devotion across all eight years, selecting the letters himself from the 40,000 that arrived daily at the White House, and his longtime correspondence director Fiona Reese confirmed that Obama would often weep privately while reading certain letters, folding them carefully before writing responses so personally detailed and emotionally present that recipients frequently described the experience of receiving them as the most significant moment of their lives, with one Ohio steelworker writing back to say that Obama's letter had physically stopped him from making a decision that would have permanently altered his family's future. What makes this practice almost unbearably moving is the detail that surfaced later — Obama never used a computer for these letters, always a black felt-tip pen, always legal yellow paper first as a draft, always rewritten onto White House stationery by hand a second time, because he believed, as he told historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in a rare private conversation later recounted in her 2018 work, that the physical act of pressing pen to paper forced a quality of attention that typing simply could not replicate, a philosophy rooted in his years as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago from 1992 to 2004 where he developed the conviction that democracy only functions when its leaders remain genuinely, uncomfortably close to the specific gravity of individual human suffering rather than processing it from behind the insulating distance of institutions and screens."

Congratulations to the long-suffering fans of Boston who haven’t seen one of their teams reach a championship since 2024.

Not sure how you were able to hold on.

John Miller: If you're confronted by a moving vehicle that could be a threat to you, get out of the way. I'm reading to you from DHS policy; 'DHS law enforcement officers are prohibited from discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle or other conveyance.'

How to tell if you’ve fallen for propaganda: you think the richest country in the world can’t afford universal healthcare while 80 other countries can.

Cameron Kasky was in Parkland the day a crazed gunman blew away 17 of his classmates and teachers. Today he's running for Congress in NY's 12th because, among other things, he doesn't want Palestinian youth to be blown away by the IDF with bullets and bombs sent by the US. Pay attention.

“These blue states have abused the SNAP program.” @SpeakerJohnson

85 of the top 100 counties to receive SNAP benefits are counties Trump won in 2024.

Why do Republicans hate their own voters so much?

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

Not wages, education, utility bills, health care, housing, food insecurity, veterans, child care, climate disasters, tariffs, national security, or a gov shutdown.

A ballroom.
