Was standing by to go on MS NOW to talk about Trump's speech on Iran. Bumped by the Artemis launch. I couldn't be happier that the focus remains on this kind of achievement and rekindling of the kind of hope and aspiration that animated much of the world when I was a kid. Lotta feelings. Good ones.

A modest proposal: Absent congressional authorization, presidential uses of force amounting to war should automatically raise the top 3 tax brackets by 50%. You know, to pay for the war.

Dear Bruce Springsteen, I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there was one, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie would be smiling down on you. Plus, you rhymed with MINNEAPOLIS. With Much love of your great work, me.

In Chicago Tribune editorial: "This is an inevitable consequence of both political parties, fearful of their extremes, punting for years on an immigration policy." Not in the editorial: Trump ordered Republicans to kill a bipartisan immigration bill in 2024 so he could use the issue to get elected.

The "he's just one guy" contingent clearly didn't have this *specific* guy terrorize your community. So shut the fuck up if those of us that did are perhaps elated to see him actually take a fall.

The story of the Trump-ICE murder of Alex Pretti has, impossibly, gotten worse. His family says it learned he was dead from an Associated Press reporter. These subhuman creatures at ICE and DHS not only didn't inform them, they still hadn't as of last night. #TrumpTerrorist

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Right about this time 81 years ago, the allies had broken through the Nazi defenses along the beaches of Normandy and were slowly pushing inland. It took the better part of another year to bring the fight to a conclusion. Feels like that's more or less where we are right now.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Lead is poisoning kids in Milwaukee. The federal team trained to help? Gone. And now RFK Jr. is pretending everything’s fine. It’s not. If no one’s left doing the work, kids aren’t being protected. This isn’t spin — it’s their health. Secretary Kennedy, do your job! www.npr.org/sections/sho...

When they emigrated from the Irish counties of Cork, Sligo, and Dublin, my family sought the American Dream in the Golden State. That story began with my great, great grandfather taking a job as a beat cop in San Francisco.

You could just feel yesterday how much Trump sincerely wanted to stop people in Ukraine from being killed. You could tell that his only motivation is to stop the bloodshed. It really seemed like his main concern - not his ego, minerals, past grievances, or his love for Putin.

What’s interesting about the Oval Office fiasco is that it was Trump who repeatedly claimed during the campaign that he would end the war in ‘24 hours’ and that he was a master negotiator. Did the guy sulking, then berating Zelensky, then kicking him out, look or sound like a master negotiator?
