Awww. People can do nice things once in a while.

It’s being run by the most corrupt postmaster ever, and is part of a massively hostile admin. But I don’t care if it runs in the red forever. It’s a SERVICE! I don’t expect any other government service to make money.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Feels to me like the last quote here is more devastating and incriminating than even the birthday book and the photos and the rest.

Congress is on vacation

The Bird’s Nest is home to a community of women, all older than 60. They broadly agree that, at this age, women are easier long-term companions than men. On Modern Love, two residents describe what it feels like to grow older together with the support of other women. nyti.ms/4j4QgBO

"Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections"

It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.

Interesting explanation for the “ballroom.” open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

The administration said it received too much public and legal backlash for firing employees who did nothing wrong, so if their performance “declines,” fewer people will defend them.

The absolute irony and hypocrisy of labeling fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction and blaming it on Venezuela to justify invasion just as bush did Iraq, while intentionally ignoring that most fentanyl comes up through Mexico from China and mainly via US CITIZENS! This is from their own media!

“Why should I care if criminals are killed?” I see this comment everywhere. Here’s why it matters: these boat strikes aren’t war, they’re law enforcement. When the government can execute people without trial, the rule of law collapses. Due process protects Americans and U.S. service members.

These new job cuts at the VA will lead to longer wait times and put pressure on an already strained system, making it harder for veterans to access the benefits and care they have EARNED. Our nation’s heroes deserve better.

. Yes, that's true . . . ... again, again and again ! 💠 😔 💠

Our competitors/colleagues at the @miamiherald.com posted an explosive investigation a few days ago showing the DeSantis administration misappropriated more than $35 million in state funds. Now, the Legislature must do its job, because DeSantis won't police himself. Our editorial (gift link):

It is amazing that the ruling administration has managed to set up not one but multiple opaque schemes that essentially allow for mass money laundering/payouts/corruption, some of which have already resulted in favors such as pardons, and the rest of the government isn't even trying to stop them.

BREAKING Two people have been found dead at the home of director and actor Rob Reiner. The LA Fire Department said the ages of the two victims is 78 and 68 which matches the ages of Rob and his wife Michele. Full Story: bit.ly/497DhMd

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

DIck Van Dyke turns 100. Truly a SUPERcalifragilisticexpialidocious celebration of a man of joy. Happy Birthday!

He absolutely does not care that your healthcare, is about to run out. Zero fucks are given.

Listen carefully

“The Trump administration jettisoned a plan to honor the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage and the civil-rights movement on quarters for the nation’s 250th birthday.”

@warren.senate.gov publishes a report listing all the $$ that Congress gave to DOD to do DOD things that DOD instead spent on Stephen Miller's snatch and grab. As you look at these numbers, think how much cancer research could have been funded. www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

For the love of God, this news to be front burner

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Justice Jackson nails it, but that this has to be spelled out is so depressing.

Fact check: Lindsey Halligan is not and never has been US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
