Russia is preparing for the war in Ukraine to continue for years by planning record war spending, abandoning plans to rein in military outlays - Bloomberg "Russia wants peace" crowd has anything to add? Russia doesn't want peace, it wants Ukraine to surrender.

It is shockingly common for child welfare agencies to remove children from parents because they can't afford housing. Billing them for the foster care really is just beyond the pale. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

All too often, when parents can’t afford safe housing, the solution child welfare services offer is putting their children in foster care.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."
