Gaping hole finally filled at #RockHall tonight with the induction of Warren Zevon. Just make us be brave And make us play nice And let us be together tonight

An honor of my life to write Cyndi Lauper’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction essay! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:“For this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness. This crisis is in the administration’s hands. It’s all them, not anyone else.” C-SPAN

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, “Where is your God?” (Psalm 42:1-3)

Shabbat shalom. Sending a little extra light your way. "In a heart there are windows and doors You can let the light in You can feel the wind blow When there's nothing to lose And nothing to gain Grab a hold of that fistful of rain." - WZ

"[P]rocedurally, had she denied the request, the Justice Department could have gone to another justice. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, by issuing the order herself, she was able to set the limits." 👇

in general, and especially now…

BREAKING: Following trial, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, finds that Trump did not properly invoke federal law to call up the National Guard and "permanently enjoins Defendants’ orders to deploy federalized members of the National Guard to Oregon."

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

>>Political officials are free to blame whomever they wish for the shutdown, but they cannot use rank-and-file civil servants as their unwilling spokespeople. The First Amendment stands in their way. The Department's conduct therefore must cease.<<

BREAKING: A federal appeals court says that, for now, it will NOT halt a court order requiring the Trump admin to fully fund food stamps this month. No administrative stay as it begins to evaluate the case, as states begin paying benefits www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

Happy almost weekend. Someone you know or someone you know might know someone who might know something! 👋 propublica.org/tips

This is really interesting. In Missouri, legislators were never going to be able to get enough votes for the map to go into effect right away (thus, subjecting the map to a referendum). So House members could pretty much vote how they wanted with no pressure or repercussions.

Everyone I've talked to today who is a regular at the Broadview protests has been tear gassed or pepper sprayed at least once. There is NO scenario, none, in which protestors can get anywhere near ICE and CBP. They're either massive cowards or just like gassing people. (Yes, I know, it's both.)

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.” That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.” @jessefelder.bsky.social $MSFT www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

I'm hearing these SNAP benefit updates: -100% Washington state -100% Michigan -100% California -Partial Illinois -Partial North Carolina -1/2 Vermont (Note that not everyone in these states received money today because their typical day of the month for benefits may not have passed yet)

before the inevitable freak out: only recordings commercially released in the U.S. between 8/31/24 and 8/30/25 were eligible for nominations (unless the artist can squeeze through a loophole)

This is an incredibly depressing indictment of our broken City government. Even when there's good intentions, it's a disaster in execution for those in need. www.stlpr.org/government-p...

the faces have changed but the song remains the same

It's really cool that some of the original sit-inners were present for the unveiling of this memorial. www.oklahoman.com/picture-gall...

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

UPDATE: We have added more entries to this list of Utah restaurants and other businesses offering free meals to those in need.

I don't understand why this isn't absolutely blowing up. A whole public library system shutting down branches to remove books because the Tennessee Secretary of State believes that Executive Orders are above the Constitution.

The ACA and associated subsidies are a huge driver of entrepreneurship in our economy. So this idea that most people using ACA are unemployed grifters is demonstrably false. They are the people starting small businesses, freelancing, or those who cannot find full-time work.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

I called Ossoff about this yday, but I may call again today tbh. He's worried about reelection but he has to know that if he screws this up he's gonna lose us. (If your senator is one of the few listed here, please call!)

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

On March 6, #SCOTUS denied a Trump emergency application in the Dellinger case. That was the last time that happened; today's ruling is the 24th (consecutive) grant since then. I survey this broader pattern (and its alarming implications) in a new draft paper here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

A statement from Wired's Conde Union Members

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce its anti-trans and anti-nonbinary passport policy during litigation. The unsigned, four-paragraph order effectively reverses two lower-court decisions. The Democratic appointees dissent. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Seeing some false reports about the man who collapsed in the Oval Office. It was *not* Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay. It was a patient who uses Lilly GLP-1 drug, per multiple sources. I hear he's OK now.

I respect Jake so much, I loved working with him, and I encourage you all to subscribe to his newsletter

The guy they fired has their back still so I say we follow his lead on this.

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

If you're going to make a post praising an incredible news photo, it's a real bad look when you don't include the photographer credit in the post.

#BREAKING U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago is entering a preliminary injunction governing the use of force against protesters and journalists.
