I need someone to develop an app where I deposit like $100 at the beginning of the year and then when I click on an article that’s behind a paywall they deduct a cost per article for that specific site and send it to the publication rather than expect me to subscribe to 50 outlets.

On CSPAN earlier today, a Republican from West Virginia just unleashed his anger, said Hegseth and Trump should be jailed, there aren't any sane Republicans in the party any longer and that they deserve to lose the midterms. Dude just unleashed, GOP has no idea how angry folks are.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

An amazing glimpse into Mesolithic everyday life: this more than 7,500-year-old ring was made from heather roots, carefully rolled up and prepared for later use. It was discovered at the settlement of Motala/Sweden, where the same material was used for fish traps. Dating 5750–5550 BC. 🧵1/2 📷me

Not everything in life will make sense when we want it to. Some paths only become clear with time. When you can’t understand what God is doing, keep walking, keep trusting, and stay open to grace. Providence may be mysterious - but you are never abandoned. #ThoughtForTheDay St. Eugene de Mazenod 🙏✨
