There was a shameful and intentional campaign to attack and try to delegitimize the current court. The consequences of that campaign is that many crazy people felt justified to threaten and target Justices who they don’t like, which resulted in real threats on their life.
Everyone always talking about “talent density” in Silicon Valley when we really should be talking about how 80% of pretzels in America come from a small region of Pennsylvania
Nine of Pennsylvania's biggest data center projects will be excluded from Shapiro's plan to tie fast tracked permits and a tax break to higher environmental and transparency rules because they were underway before his announcement. Via @ChasThompson1

Birdland welcomes 101-year-old U.S. Army WWII veteran and Holocaust survivor Ralph Brunn, along with U.S. Navy Jewish War Veteran Barry Steelman, to the Yard for tonight’s ceremonial first pitch 🧡
MASN analyst Ben McDonald on the postgame show: "You either do or you don't. And right now, the Orioles don't. They are not doing it and they're not playing well right now. That's the bottom line."
!! Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., just voted YES in favor of a resolution to end Trump’s war in Iran. (He had previously voted against several of these measures as Democrats force weekly votes on it.)
News: State Sen. Doug Mastriano (R., Franklin), an arch-conservative lawmaker from central Pennsylvania and an unsuccessful candidate for governor in 2022, has been nominated to be the US Ambassador to the Slovak Republic.
The United States of America must always be prepared to use overwhelming military force when necessary to defend our national security interests and protect Americans at home and abroad.
And, a President should have the latitude to make decisions to that end, but only to the extent that those decisions are also consistent with the inherent authority of a Commander-in-Chief under the U. S. Constitution and the provisions of the War Powers Resolution. To date, I have supported the President’s decisions relating to the Iranian conflict because they were consistent with these authorities and the ultimate goal of protecting national security interests.
At the same time, what sets America apart is not only our strength, but how we use it. Our nation has always conducted military operations for just causes and through just and moral means. This must continue in the future; otherwise we forfeit our legitimacy to lead the world.
So, let me be clear: I do not support the destruction of a "whole civilization." That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America.
I have and will continue to support a strong national defense—one that is focused, disciplined, and firmly rooted in protecting the safety and security of the American people. But, how we protect the lives of the innocent is just as important as how we engage the enemy.
America is great because America is good.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
i think opening day is so fun because you’re filled with hope and anticipation and then the first player in your starting nine strikes out and you get to go “sell the team” it’s a perfect encapsulation of the spectrum of human emotion
