Texted my Dad privately to confirm he and my step mom are getting flu and TDAP shots before our baby is born and he asked to call when he's off work. Which makes me feel he's going to say something other than "yes, of course" 😬🙄

The Originalism Trap by Madiba K. Dennie: 9780593729250 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
A rallying cry for a more just approach to the law that bolsters social justice movements by throwing out originalism—the theory that judges should interpret the Constitution exactly as conservatives....

When asked why he doesn’t become an independent, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman responded: “Because I’m a lifelong Republican.” After realizing his slip-up, Fetterman laughed and said: “That’ll get clipped.” He then corrected himself and said he's a lifelong Democrat. #TribFest26

I mean, Fetterman growing up a silver spoon baby in a Republican family who lived that MBA life with an inherited job before adopting a schlubby man of the people vibe for politics probably has more to do with it than his stroke, but it doesn't disprove the thesis

What if we treated every crash fatality like an emergency? What if cities automatically reduced speeds and deployed traffic calming on roads for two weeks after fatal crashes to signal to drivers that someone died here? Give fatalities the attention they deserve.

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.
