Among his suggestions: — Call your representatives, particularly if they’re Republicans (only 4 or 5 Republicans in the House and Senate could change the course of history). He's right. Will do. (I'd thought that calling my hopeless reps was a waste of time.) hartmannreport.com/p/breathing-...

HAPPENING NOW: At the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, Judge Paula Xinis is set to begin a hearing on the government’s efforts – or lack thereof – to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was wrongly removed to El Salvador. Follow along for updates ⬇️

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

On Monday, Jeff Nesbit exposed the GOP's successful gaslighting playbook...hours later, Hegseth's Signal screwup proved his point. This historic national security failure should not be yesterday's news & there should be no second chances. Jen Rubin explains.

Breach of contract! You are supposed to go in through the front, deposit some pollen to fertilize the flower, pick up pollen for the next Carolina jessamine flower, and THEN get some nectar. Biting a hole in the back of the flower is robbery.

These babies, Laurel oaks, Quercus laurifolia, all have an excellent chance to outlive Trump by many decades. Next fall they will join their more than 100 cousins in a former pasture. I love thinking about them growing up to clean the air and feed wildlife with their acorns long after we are gone.
