Ed Miliband, 'Every experience I've had in the two months that I've been Foreign Secretary tells me: our future lies in a deeper, stronger partnership with the EU." So much more refreshing and honest than Keir Starmer's disastrous make Brexit work nonsense.

Every election cycle, right on schedule, the Trump admin suddenly rediscovers a "migrant caravan" heading to the border. It’s the same seasonally timed scare tactic we’ve seen before—engineered to whip up fear right before voters head to the polls. Don't fall for it. 🚨🛑 #Blues #Midterms #Border

Let them stay home and sulk. We don't want them to vote anymore; they've done enough damage. We're motivated to vote every time we see or hear about another atrocity, another betrayal, another unhinged moment.

If you dislike Trump, your assignment for this election is to only vote for Democrats. Do not skip the election. Do not waste a vote on a non-viable 3rd party candidate. Everyone clear on this assignment?

#Booksky So much this. I saw someone worrying that because what they were writing wasn't like what they saw other people writing, they might be somehow wrong. Nope. You're spot on. Write what you want to read, or what you love writing. Or the story you need to get told. Whatever that is.

Costco clinches $184M in tariff refunds, with more expected

The big-box retailer said the money was reinvested to give "value back to our members." It’s more than a third of the total tariff refunds the company expects.

Your feed now contains one Red Deer and several complimentary ferns. Enjoy.

A Red Deer looks through a curtain of green ferns with its antlers tangled in leafy fronds, giving the impression it's accidentally wearing a woodland hat. The softly blurred background creates a peaceful forest scene.

Some of the best sunrises are those that make you wait a little while and make you glad you stayed. Quiet reflection and being in the moment. This morning's sunrise on Glastonbury Tor did just that.
