Kirkus calls Thomas Perry's THE TREE OF LIGHT AND FLOWERS "a supercharged final pursuit that’s a fitting close to Perry’s remarkably consistent career as a master of suspense." Coming March 2026.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Every Packers fan should send punter Daniel Whelan a sympathy card. Our special teams are spectacularly bad.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Wowwww… so dirty. @aftynbehn.bsky.social making Republicans get desperate.

"Before he got up and left, Padilla said “I refuse to give oxygen to the fire of disinformation and propaganda that this hearing was set up to ignite. And I refuse to be part of this charade” Constituent Thanks @padilla.senate.gov for calling it like it is! www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/senator-pa...

They were daughters. Sisters. Mothers. Friends. And too many of them simply vanished. Their stories lives cut short, families left shattered were painstakingly documented in the Not One More report, the federal study on missing and murdered Indigenous people.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

The Republicans NEVER cared about the unborn. It was always about controlling women and their bodies. The facts don't lie. www.propublica.org/article/wisc...

The amount of damage the Trump administration has done to the Justice Department is incalculable.

BREAKING: Magistrate orders DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to Comey, finding real prospect that "government misconduct" may have tainted the case.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is. So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise. If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture. #aurora #photography #landscape #art #bluesky #california #canon

Everyone in America: Wow the Bears are winning all these last minute games in wild comebacks, it's miraculous, how are they even doing it Pope Leo in the Vatican: *smiles*

Listening to a live recording of Joan Baez with the Indigo Girls and it's honestly so cool to hear Emily toss out a 'Thanks, y'all' at the end of a song and remember hearing it in person. Still so, SO glad I did the impulsive thing and saw them perform in September. Btw, Baez's 1995 live album is🔥.

It's like bringing a Democratic US Senator to a gun fight.

Good morning, NYC! Beautiful fall day on Warren Street today. We’ll be here 11-7 for all your murder mystery needs..

Nobody talk to me for like a month as I refill my people battery.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Here’s a fun new proposal from the Trump administration:make it harder for older, manual-labor workers to qualify for disability benefits especially in red states that overwhelmingly supported him. Nothing says “thank you for your vote” like taking away the safety net when you can’t work anymore.

NEW: Baseball is thriving. Now please, MLB, don’t blow it A classic World Series shows again that the sport is back. But a long work stoppage looms after next year - and risks enraging fans and undoing all of the game’s momentum Make a deal. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

======================== I Thought Graham Platner Was Finished. What I Saw in Maine Changed My Mind. Interesting, in-depth piece in this morning's NYT on Graham Platner, his campaign, and not being finished. #Maine #MEpolitics Gifted, published less than 3 hrs ago:

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
