The simple truth is that the president's personal obsession with attacking @drlisadcook.bsky.social is a filthy lie. There must be not just protection for her job, but accountability for those perverting and corrupting our justice system. All Americans lose when our institutions are poisoned.

Somali Minnesotans are our neighbors. They are part of Minnesota. And the Minnesota I know and love is so much better than this bigotry.

NEW: In March the White House released an FY27 budget request that zeroed out the National Science Foundation's directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). For months it was unclear what would happen. Now, with FY26 over, the damage to SBE is coming to light. My reporting:

Since Alfred Nobel established the prize as compensation for inventing dynamite, there is something poetic about the award going to Ice Cube, who invented the Bop Gun.

Well, in case this falls through I'd already gone and ordered 6 pounds of bulk fruit gems for a certain bar mitzvah next spring. No, that is not overkill.

I'm pretty sure that not responding to an inquiry from an insurer can't be contractual grounds for cancellation, right? I would assume that thousands of people would have very good standing to sue.
