Vought also promoted this lie during his testimony this week. The whole administration is committed to the idea that everyone who has lost their healthcare is committing fraud or an illegal immigrant. Those are not the facts on the ground.

Does this mean she gets screwed out of any property rights here?

So after a billion dollars a day and military lives lost, we are back to status quo ante? Does Trump, Vietnam-fashion, just declare victory and to home? Will he throw himself a parade, and ride in a Roman chariot? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

In Maine, ICE brazenly called their operation “catch of the day.” The banal inhumanity of it all is overwhelming. The deaths, the injuries, the conditions in detention, the brazen disregard for people’s rights, including American citizens. And it’s still happening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This Kern County crew is harvesting broccolini. Unlike broccoli, which is harvested once, workers need to keep on coming back to the same field to select the individual, tender 6–8 inch stems before they flower. It's a challenging crop as it requires precise timing. #WeFeedYou

One piece of legislation drafted by a Leonard Leo-supported nonprofit would effectively bar cities and towns from bringing lawsuits against corporations and others when the issue is a broad public harm like climate change.

Some people question whether Tazzy is a real service dog. Her usual service in not trying to kill me most days.

Here’s a feed cleanser. Dogs catching treats.

In the words of the late, great Molly Ivins, “I’ll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one”

ERASING HISTORY: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro asks court to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and Proud Boys leaders Ethan Nordean & Joseph Biggs, despite jury findings of coordinated efforts to stop the transfer of power.

They didn't just pardon them. They're erasing the convictions entirely. Not...you're guilty but forgiven. But...the guilty verdicts never should have happened. There's a difference. And it matters enormously for what comes next. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Rehabilitation of the Dandelion! No other plant in the Netherlands attracts as many bee species: 107. In early spring, when nothing else is blooming, it is simply there. Meadow bird chicks that have just hatched depend on the insects that are drawn to dandelions. No dandelion, no insect, no chick.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman. Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.

We the vaccinated can only watch in stupefaction and dismay:

Curious that an NPR segment today, "Taxpayers filing for peace: Evading taxes as protest," didn't mention the nonpayment tax protests against the 10% federal telephone excise tax because of its use to underwrite the Vietnam War; it happened again during the Iraq war. sojo.net/magazine/dec...

Today, as a change of pace, it was the car in front of me -- instead of my car -- that was nearly t-boned by a Tesla racing through a flat-out red light.

Now 14 months in, Canada’s rejection of the U.S. is the most successful tourism boycott in memory.

This painting, "Sidekicks II" by Michele Poirier-Mozzone, is an oil on canvas from her Massachusetts-based "Fractured Light" series, exploring water and sunlight's effects on humans. It depicts an underwater perspective looking up.

Less than a month before it was due to close, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announced that it has found a buyer to keep the newspaper open.

There's no greater sign of the iron grip that "both sides" framing has on American journalists than the repeated descriptions of the unhinged tantrum Trump is throwing over the pope's anodyne statements on Catholic doctrine as a "feud" or a "fight" or anything else that implies they're both to blame

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.
