The frequency of pedestrians being killed by drivers is really shocking. More people should know. It has made me exercise extra caution when behind the wheel, especially at night and at crosswalks.

Two things can be true at the same time and they are this: Dominique Pelicot is an obvious example that the underlying problem is by no means anything uniquely American, but also, as someone who didn't grow up in America, I found US college drinking culture incomprehesible, shocking, and abhorrent.

That should be Dems' message in every red state: "You've voted Republican your whole life. Your state government has been led by Republicans your whole life. And across America, you get worse outcomes in education, income, health, & wellbeing. It's not a coincidence. It's because of Republicans."

Trump bills taxpayers for 5 planes of Secret Service cars in Ireland

Ahead of Donald Trump's upcoming visit to Ireland on Sept. 12, five U.S. Air Force cargo planes delivered a massive Secret Service security fleet and specialized medical equipment to Shannon Airport

For nearly 40 hours, residents in Frederick watched an ICE operation unfold in their neighborhood — one that turned violent and included attempts to intimidate those who spoke up. Marylanders care about their neighbors. There is no place for ICE's cruelty in our communities.

Five C-17s delivered King Donald the Mad’s Secret Service motorcade to Ireland: Cadillac SUVs, anti-drone systems, assault vehicles and emergency equipment – all for a 2-day trip including the Irish Open at his own Doonbeg golf resort. And US taxpayers pick up the bill for his private event.

Worth pointing out that nearly every day, missing people are found WITHOUT the use of mass surveillance cameras. Same with crime suspects. We do not need our every move policed by Flock and other surveillance systems owned by private companies.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

If you're a Democratic incumbent who sees more enemies to your left than to your right, you should be primaried out of office. If you're a progressive challenger who sees more enemies in the Democrats than in the Republicans, you don't belong in office. Know who your allies are.

Before Todd Blanche helped Trump use a settlement to launder a $1.8 billion slush fund, Brendan Carr helped him use a BS lawsuit to extract a $16 million bribe from Paramount. The DC Bar could have put a stop to it back then by disbarring Carr. It failed.

Any data center that doesn't use renewable energy to power itself and have a self-contained water source for cooling separate from the public supply should be rejected. It should have zero impact on the surrounding power and water supply and should also be far away from any residential area.

Pepco is telling a half truth: when demand spikes, Pepco has to buy energy generated on demand. the price of that energy is determined in auctions where costs have jumped due in large part to increased overall demand from… data centers!

PEPCO - I did your survey. How many outages have we had? I don't know, but surely you have that data already? How do I feel about reliability & am I willing to pay more for it? How about asking how I feel about living like I'm in Dr. Zhivago, thermostat never over 63, with bills close to $1K? #pepco
