I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife? HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

"Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes" I always wondered how mainstream journalism would cover an impending dictatorship here. Now we know.

This is unconscionable. I’m a product of the Head Start program. It helped get me and my parents acclimated into the community when they spoke no English. My parents could work and afford an apartment while they got settled after being refugees. Head Start actually saved us.

Literary fiction. I’m not good writing things where I can’t have explosions or duels. Plus, the real world is no fun for me to write

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

My favorite jacket, acquired at Six Flags New England last fall. Never saw it there before, haven't been able to find the same jacket online, so I gather it's somewhat rare. Was pricey--wool + leather. But I love it. #batman #dccomics #batmanjacket

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

Jessica Tarlov: He’s also trying to market this as the fact that he paused the tariffs and he absolutely did not. The Yale budget lab just came out with new figures based on yesterday's tariff numbers and says this will cost each American household $4,400. This is the highest tariff rate since 1909.
