NEWS: A @lawfare report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

Incredible work from Katherine Pompilio:

This isn’t a “plea deal.” It’s a tornado siren for democracy.

John Bolton’s diaries were private & contained no classified docs.

Yet he might go to prison.

Trump stole actual classified docs, lied to investigators, and reportedly hid them.

Yet he’s in the Oval Office.

Pips is everywhere.

Our young giraffe at our Kaluku Neonate Unit in Tsavo can usually be found in the middle of whatever's happening – watching over the smaller orphans, working her way through the browse, keeping a long-necked eye on the daily comings and goings.

We rescued her in September last year, after her mother was likely killed by lions. She had narrowly escaped the same fate, and by the time we reached her she was running on her last reserves. Her Keepers call her Pipsi.

Adopting Pips helps fund her browse, her Keepers, and the years of care ahead.

We had eliminated measles and are about to lose our measles eradication status

We had eradicated screwworm but its making its way back

Melinda French Gates donates $215M to menopause care. Women have been expected to deal with it on their own behind the scenes. "We're way behind on knowing exactly how the hormones change and at what time. We're way behind on sharing information w/ women."https://t.co/OW3WViugcf

The best Union Station reno is that they laid brick over the part that was always dirt near the Metro entrance. Would get horribly muddy in summer and icy in winter

Amazing what happens when you fund government

Honest Cover Letter:

I’m interested in this job because it’s available. I feel I’m a match because I, too, am available.

You also list a “competitive salary,” which aligns with my passion for food and shelter.

I look forward to discussing this further with your AI screener.

"Pelley was not uncivil. He didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t curse or scream. He was professionally disagreeable. Which is basically the job description for journalists. It’s the job description that Weiss herself wrote. She just didn’t mean it."

BREAKING: Senators Booker & Cassidy just filed a bipartisan amicus brief opposing Trump's $1.7B slush fund--repped by WLG, Platkin LLP & @DDFund_

Trump CANNOT sue an agency he controls & pocket $1.8B in taxpayer $$

Courts must stop it & we're urging them to do exactly that -TN

Congress approved the 19th Amendment and sent it to the states to ratify on this day in 1919. Whenever a new state voted in favor, the National Woman’s Party (NWP) sewed a star on this giant flag. 🧵

Today would have been Daphne Sheldrick's 92nd birthday. My mother never set out to be a titan of conservation. She began the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to continue my late father’s vision, guided by a love for all wild creatures and a desire to make a better world for them. She weathered so many challenges in her time, but remained unwaveringly true to herself and her beliefs.

Building success on success, never straying from this mission, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has grown into the far-reaching, multi-faceted conservation organisation we are today. I know Daphne and David would be so proud of all we have achieved.

It has been eight years since Daphne left us, but she remains in the forefront of our minds. She was an unassuming woman who achieved so much just by pursuing her passion for animals and the natural world.

Daphne always said, “You reap what you sow” — and my goodness, what has been sown over the years.

I'd note that the National Guard is not "law enforcement," but political theater for President Trump. Those N.G. soldiers should be home with the families and helping out their own communities.

i thought it would be fun to write a little crash course about interpreting medieval marginalia so that no one ever says ‘wow, they had ergot poisoning’ ever again! check it out!!!!!

Yes - this is our constitutional crisis in a nutshell. Mullin says he will pick and choose which court orders to follow based on whether he likes them or not.

That's a reciple for the total destruction of our democracy. That's totalitarianism.
