Russian terror isn't getting attention either any longer. Every newspaper should be draped in black each time this happens. Leaders should flock to the cameras. Instead we have a deafening silence. Shame on all of us for accepting this.

Tbh I feel like that’s the most optimistic they possibly could have made that number. Also, I think Q2 will be much worse.

Moments ago, Russia bombed a vacation resort in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, setting the area, including the resort restaurant's replica wooden sailing ship, ablaze.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility. 1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken. A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

my dad (and his siblings) used to miss school to pick oranges in florida, because that was the only way they could earn money to eat. his mom and her mom did the same. i imagine florida would see no problem with that in this day and age. (dad eventually joined the air force to break the cycle.)

Speaker Mike Johnson floats the possibility of Congress eliminating federal courts. This comes as courts have blocked a series of actions taken by the Trump administration, along with Trump and his allies calling for the impeachment of certain district court judges.

News: NPR’s Tom Bowman reports of a Pentagon-wide warning about Signal’s security vulnerability - one week ago 👇🏼
REPORTABLE:  NPR’s Tom Bowman has learned that a Pentagon-wide email went out one week ago warning about the vulnerability of using the messaging app Signal.  "A vulnerability has been identified in the Signal messenger application," the email begins. The app is the same one used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other leading national security officials within the administration to discuss bombing Houthi sites in Yemen – journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to the group and privy to the highly sensitive discussions.

I can't believe people don't have an immediate and visceral reaction to just how bad of an idea this is. There is literally no purpose for a civilian to be briefed on such plans. No upside. It is only a security vulnerability.

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t.

Turkey remembers history. Ukraine is a key buffer state for Turkey. Now that Russia no longer has its bases in Syria it wouldn't surprise me if Turkey took concrete steps to reinforce its northern flank (e.g. increased military aid).

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
