This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

I would buy this all day long.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "This big beautiful economy that actually was rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation coming down feels more like the Game of Thrones red wedding. I mean, it's not going well."

Watch seismic waves from the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar ripple across North America. This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows how the ground moved as detected by seismometers across the continent.

Democratic House Rep. Jahana Hayes: "What good is it if I can feed my children if my neighbors' kids are hungry? And all of these people who think that we need to recede to our own corners and make sure that as long as you're taken care of you're okay, that is as unAmerican as it gets." Nailed it!

A massive demonstration took place in Budapest today against Viktor Orbán’s pro-Russia regime in Hungary Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared: “The spring is here, the spring of the Hungarians, and we, together, will end Orbán’s winter.”

Chuck Schumer right now:

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Protect your peace.
