I think Hegseth should take the new army combat fit test. Especially the pushups. For reasons and lethality

The collapse of support for Trump in the Rio Grande Valley is a big story of the moment. It's more deserving of our attention than what some centrist tweeted somewhere, believe it or not.

The story of the Texas Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys elator) is, in its own way, the story of Texas. They're native to a tiny area of North Texas where American buffalo once roamed in vast numbers, clearing prairie, making nighttime foraging & escape easier for our k-rat. (📷: Texas Parks & Wildlife)

Like it or not, the only way to shift votes in places like Texas is by meeting religious voters where they are, and being able to speak the language. Over the last 40 years, Dems have ceded ground on morality interpreted via religion.

Reporting on this is mixed, be aware that there’s a lot of spin being dropped here. U.S. outlets are under reporting, Israeli outlets may be over reporting. Info that’s coming out over time- There was an incident between pilots that lead to serious injury, and the plane dropping over 17k

Niche skeet. I’m horrified to learn that Senator Schmitt graduated from Jesuit schools at the secondary and post doc level, and proceeded to show the world his whole ass by not double checking his staffer’s work. Saint Iggy is giving him some massive sideeye.

On World Rabies Day, we want to share two important pieces of information: 1. Cats are NOT a major rabies threat. They rarely contract rabies, let alone transmit it to people, and cat-to-human rabies transmission is exceedingly unlikely. Community cats are safe members of our communities.

I really hate that Advance Colorado has made me write so many words about their very dumb right-wing ballot measures I'm glad they're mostly obvious trash but anyway.

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

As someone who’s had interviewees dump the courtesy cup of water on my desk, I tend to say “its 30 minutes, don’t risk knocking stuff onto your interviewer” Water bottle or something that you can seal shut is fine. Don’t put it on my desk. If it’s an all day interview, ask what you can bring.

resharing this as well in case people missed it... do think about applying, or share with your networks! last time we advertised, only men applied, so I would especially encourage women to think about applying as we would like to have a diverse group of editors

**However, under any government, rebuilding support for the U.S.-Israel alliance within the Democratic party will necessitate changes in Israeli policy.** This is especially true on the Israeli-Palestinian issue where there is an expectation, even among Israel’s supporters, that an incoming Israeli government will act to stop settler violence and settlement expansion, and halt attacks in Gaza while moving forward toward a political resolution of the conflict. Such policy changes may or may not move Democratic public opinion on Israel, though they are likely to elicit a positive response from lawmakers. Words alone may have some effect, while action is likely to be received positively.
