Politico: Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine.

And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank.

A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.”

Some departures leave us entirely without words. Her voice was a mirror to our deepest emotions. Bidding a heavy-hearted farewell to the last of the legends.

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth.

On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world.

Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

We have gigantic creatures in the sea which can sing for hours and have arteries so big you can crawl through them. (whales)

We have birds that fly 50,000 miles every year. From the antarctic to the arctic and back again. (arctic tern)

We have living creatures which never get old and never die naturally. (jellyfish)

We have animals which you can force through a sieve, and they can reassemble themselves. (sponges)

We have an ancient line of animals which once had 30 or more successful species, and has gone extinct down to just one single representative, and that representative has conquered the entire world (us).

We have horrors that look just like rocks and if you step on them your whole world becomes agonizing pain. (toadfish)

We have animals who hide inside other animals, and when you eat that animal, they enter your intestines and live there. (tapeworms)

We have plants which live on other plants and never touch the ground.

There's a fruit tree that grows around another tree, and eventually kills and replaces it. (strangler fig)

We have gliding lizards, marsupials, snakes, frogs, and rodents.

What the heck do you need fairies for?
