NEW: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to erect a statue of Charlie Kirk in the US Capitol. Her colleague Rep. Andrew Clyde says he agrees, commenting “We have a statue of MLK in the Capitol, don’t we?”. Everyone is losing their minds.

Dear Mr. Speaker,
We write to you today with heavy hearts, mourning the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, a patriot, a father, and a fearless voice for conservative values, who was senselessly assassinated on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. His death is a wound to our nation, a stark reminder of the escalating political violence fueled by the divisive and hateful rhetoric from the Left. His death has left a family forever altered. His wife, Erika, and their two young children now wake each day without a husband and father because of an act of political violence. Our grief is deep, and our responsibility to respond is great.
Charlie devoted his life to engaging the next generation in the civic life of our country. As founder of Turning Point USA, he built one of the largest grassroots movements in the country, empowering students to speak of their differences in a civil manner on their college campuses.
He provided a platform for dialogue, debate, and unapologetic defense of our Constitution. His work inspired countless young people to pursue truth and to enter public life with conviction rather than fear.
Charlie was also a man of deep faith whose devotion to his Christianity guided every word he spoke and every cause he embraced. He reminded this nation that our values faith, family, and freedom-are not negotiable. He loved Jesus Christ with his whole heart, and it was that love that gave him the courage to stand strong in the face of hostility.
While responsibility for violence rests with the perpetrator, we must confront the broader cultural intolerance that enabled such a tragedy. Hateful rhetoric from the Left has created a toxic environment where one side finds it acceptable to stoke fear and violence to silence civil dissent.
We must be clear: They are the hate they claim to fight. Their words caused this. Their hate caused this.
To honor this legacy, we call upon you to direct that a statue of Charlie Kirk be placed in the United States Capitol. Th…

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Miriam Jordan is a national immigration correspondent.
April 22, 2025, 5:04 a.m. ET
In late January, Ricardo Prada Vásquez, a Venezuelan immigrant working in a delivery job in Detroit, picked up an order at a McDonald’s. He was heading to the address when he erroneously turned onto the Ambassador Bridge, which leads to Canada. It is a common mistake even for those who live in the Michigan border city. But for Mr. Prada, 32, it proved fateful.
The U.S. authorities took Mr. Prada into custody when he attempted to re-enter the country; he was put in detention and ordered deported. On March 15, he told a friend in Chicago that he was among a number of detainees housed in Texas who expected to be repatriated to Venezuela.
That evening, the Trump administration flew three planes carrying Venezuelan migrants from the Texas facility to El Salvador, where they have been ever since, locked up in a maximum-security prison and denied contact with the outside world.
But Mr. Prada has not been heard from or seen. He is not on the list of 238 people who were deported to El Salvador that day. He does not appear in the photos and videos released by the authorities of shackled men with shaved heads.

It's literally just the same bill they passed for a trans youth ban, they just remove the word minor and change the word child to person. This is literally what we said would happen. It was never about trans youth.

SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional. Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.

Dylan Roof killed 9 Black people trying to start a race war. He wasn't charged with terrorism.

Last week, Dylann Roof was charged with 33 criminal acts, including hate crimes and firearm violations, for his killing spree at a historic African American church in Charleston, South Carolina. Even before the charges were announced, questions were raised about FBI Director James Comey’s reluctance to call the attack an act of domestic terrorism, especially since his office is quick to label acts of violence by Muslims terrorism.

The discrepancy in the way authorities handle mass shootings by different actors reflects distinctions that are baked into the criminal code. At the end of the day, Roof’s alleged crimes didn’t align with any that would qualify as terrorism.

Federal law defines domestic terrorism roughly as violent acts occurring within the United States “intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population” or to influence government policy or conduct. But whether or not a violent crime satisfies this definition doesn’t necessarily bear on the criminal charges brought by federal prosecutors. As Attorney General Loretta Lynch noted when announcing the charges against Roof, there is no singular crime of domestic terrorism encompassing acts of politically motivated violence.

Went on a foraging trip recently, and while we did find some edibles we found so much more. 📸🍄🟢

Incredibly deep purple mushroom, roughly 4 inches in height. The stem is smooth, the color of plums. the cap is textured, bumpy: feels a bit like an orange peel. There is someone holding the mushroom by the stem, and the forest floor is visible

A person's hand lightly holding a coral mushroom. The mushroom is a kind of off white, with the lightest touch of pink and grey and tan. It is shaped like staghorn or finger coral, with many tender limbs coming off of the stem. Reminds me of the pattern tree branches grow in. Ferns and deep green forest can be seen in the background

Unknown variety of bright orange cap with yellow scales. Two of these mushrooms are growing next to each other, on a log covered in moss and lichen.

small star jasmine, in bloom. The leaves are spear shaped, while hundreds of small (dime sized) flowers adorn the plant. The flowers are 5 petaled, white, and in the shape of a star.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

A small pot is visible, filled with loose, chunky potting soil (pieces of wood and vermiculate are visible) About 15 tiny sprouts can be seen.

Again, a small pot is visible. But this time only a small amount of soil can be seen, as hundreds of tiny sprouts cover it up. Most of these are California poppies (I think)
