What’s your favorite pen? I’m looking for something that can be purchased today—not your grandpa’s fancy fountain pen that you inherited.

It’s horrifying that Gov. Shapiro and his family had to go through this. I pray he and his family will be free fear and will find peace tonight. Every Gov. no matter their party should have issued a statement of support for Shapiro and a condemnation of antisemitic violence.

Undate - Pennsylvania state authorities have arrested a 38-year-old Harrisburg man and said he set fire to the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion, forcing Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family to evacuate early Sunday before the blaze severely damaged part of the building. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

I keep puzzling over how Rubio thinks it'll bring PROSPERITY to kidnap gay hairdressers based on their tattoos & then pay $20K/year to detain them in a slave camp. We could have spent that $6M on supporting trade with Congo instead, but Rubio has decided torture is better for profits?

Khanna: "This is not something the president will be able to spin. Either we're gonna see new factories come, or we're not. And tariffs just aren't going to do that."

Here is a bit more about the author of the law that Rubio is saying that he is using to combat antisemitism. It removes the need for the Sec of State to provide any sort of justification for deporting people he sees at odds with the foreign interests of the US. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

You don’t have to agree with someone’s views to defend their right to say it. This is what authoritarian regimes do, not us. If this ruling stands, it’s not just the end of a legal case, it’s the end to free speech.

A federal judge blocked a similar attempt by NIH to limit indirect costs, which support the infrastructure necessary for science & research. I hope to see a speedy injunction here too. But let's be clear: Trump is waging war on America's research apparatus w/damaging consequences for US innovation.

This is truth. People are being disappeared by this administration. Let’s not dress it up or frame it via one egregious case or another. This is a systemic effort to violate US law, international law and human rights.

If the Trump admin claims it can put innocent people into a foreign prison and has no authority to release them, it can do this to anyone including political opponents and U.S. citizens. The only remedy is to imprison everyone involved for contempt until Trump gets Bukele to release him.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits on Vladimir Solovyov's show took turns mocking Trump. They applauded the damage he is doing to the U.S. and the world order and urged him to keep going for as long as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCX9...

📌All of this surrendering and capitulation by “marquee” Democrats points to a larger problem within the party itself. People are sick and tired of their sick and tired act. 📌Either you believe the grotesque Trump is an extreme threat to America and the values you claim to care about, or you don’t.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Apple and Almond Cake is #RecipeOfTheDay! It’s flourless, though divinely tender; dairy-free, though tastes ridiculously buttery; perfect for Passover, though great at any time. It’s a pretty big cake, but you can halve quantities and bake in a 20cm/ 8inch Springform www.nigella.com/recipes/appl...

The world knows about climate change mostly because of great American researchers, and that work has been largely centered at NOAA. Trump and Musk are now shutting down that brilliant work. They are contemptible, short-sighted, and sold out www.science.org/content/arti...

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...
