This level of naked, open corruption is unprecedented in our history.

The incredible coordination of a spectacular bird behavior known as murmuration.

“Exploiting a tax credit loophole” is another way of saying “exploiting taxpayers.”

Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize billionaires, and billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy the politicians creating loopholes in our tax laws for them.

Trump’s obsession with these vulgar memorials to his own vanity is a reminder of the darkness around him, of his hostility to democracy, his loathing of honor, and his disordered mind.

I miss my dad. He passed away from Parkinson's and Parkinson's dementia 13 years ago this October.

We are born, and they care for us.

And if we’re fortunate enough to have them for many years, there may come a day when we are the ones caring for them.

This deeply moving scene is from the 2011 film A Separation, written and directed by Asghar Farhadi. In the film, Nader is caring for his father, who is living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Farhadi has shared that the image of a man bathing his father with Alzheimer’s was one of the images that inspired the story itself.

There is something profoundly human about the reversal we witness here.

The hands that once held us.
The person who once protected us.
The parent we once believed could do anything.

And then, sometimes, life changes the roles.

Caregiving can hold love, exhaustion, tenderness, grief, frustration and gratitude all at once. Caring for someone doesn’t always look beautiful. But sometimes the deepest expressions of love happen in the quiet moments no one else sees.

At IPHI, we believe parenting and family well-being extend across the lifespan. The relationships we build, the care we give, and the dignity with which we treat one another matter, from our earliest years through our oldest.

If you still have your parents, hold the ordinary moments a little closer.

One day, they may not feel ordinary at all.

He’s talking about the 25th anniversary of the largest terrorist attack in American history as a laugh line to smear the former President. What a pathetic worm of a man.

President Donald Trump and the U.S. Postal Service risk unleashing “massive chaos and confusion” by implementing expansive mail voting restrictions weeks before the upcoming midterms, a widely respected elections expert said in a new court filing. https://t.co/KysaXmBAbC

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

NEW: Thousands of ballots could potentially be rejected due to a single error during this year's midterms, according to a bombshell whistleblower report.

The report outlines in detail how USPS's implementation of Trump's anti-mail voting executive order could leave large numbers of voters disenfranchised. https://t.co/HbzKo6CW4C

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

This is no coincidence. This is a multi-part plan by the GOP to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

No family should have to go through what Alex Pretti’s family has had to endure. 

ICE is killing U.S. Citizens and terrorizing our communities. Not one more penny for ICE’s lawlessness.

The climate crisis is making extreme weather worse — a record number of Americans say it hit home this year.

Trump's response? Cutting FEMA, the agency that helps us survive disasters.

I have a bill to reverse Trump's cuts and restore crucial resources for families across the country.

Couldn’t make it up if we tried

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

If this falls into the wrong hands, it could be extremely dangerous.

We need strict regulations to keep AI from putting Americans at risk, and we need them now.

Trump is asleep at the wheel. Congress must act.
