Cat lady, what a surprise, right? NYT fan, history fiend. Something of a Luddite, but enjoy technology when it works. I don't judge.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Abolish ICE. Now.

American soft power is real power, something this administration doesn't know or care about.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

When J.F.K. argued for U.S.A.I.D., he said that assistance abroad helped the United States as well. One of the direct benefits to the United States was eradicating polio worldwide, eliminating outbreaks. That strategy no longer seems to matter to the current Administration, and, in 2025, Elon Musk and DOGE decimated the agency.

Those cuts have led to some 700,000 deaths, according to Atul Gawande, who says the number will likely rise to the seven-figure range. Read more about the human cost of DOGE’s war on U.S.A.I.D.:https://t.co/QLkM7Hy8u0

“‘My father was a strong man and never wanted us to know if he was in pain. He never complained.’ Our government is led by weak men who constantly complain and benefit from others’ weakness.

Taxpayers funding Trump using two jets for a single trip is the actual "waste, fraud and abuse" that they're telling you rural hospital funding, Social Security, or Medicare is.

250 years after July 4, 1776, the successor of King George III pays taxes and publishes his returns. The successor of George Washington does not. https://t.co/CbIXDe8UQY

The Dem establishment and Dem centrists can wring their hands and complain about the results in Colorado.

Or they can learn a lesson: Their repudiation was in large part about their perceived unwillingness to stand up firmly and unhesitatingly to Trump.

So start doing so!

When something breaks, most of us replace it. At this Brooklyn repair cafe, volunteers are helping neighbors fix everything from lamps and jeans to vintage fans and old smartwatches for free. The events are part of a growing global movement to reduce waste, save money and bring back repair skills that many people say have been lost.

If you steal a paint chip it's 10 years in prison but take what you want from our Capitol, that's worth a pardon.

Lincoln Project Advocacy and @vjaybombs collaborated this past weekend to send America a message: Donald Trump didn't drain the swamp. He built a bigger one.

@hwinkler4real As always, every accusation is a confession with Trump and the Trump adjacent.

@buitengebieden I like the moment when the dog realizes that he now can't move for the next 12 hours.
