I’m rarely at a loss for words but today I don’t have many for the enormity and the complexity of Gordon Wood’s legacy - I was inspired by his work even as I agreed with about 1/2 and was often irritated by the rest. RIP. A real one. www.brown.edu/news/2026-06...

Is there NO ONE who has standing to sue the government to force the release of the Epstein files??? It’s a damn law!

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) is planning to fly to Minneapolis tomorrow. Ro Khanna flew in today. We've been telling Dems to do this last week. You have to be in Minnesota. You have to be with the people. You have to stand next to Walz and Frey. Coordinated effort, leadership, and pushback.

Exactly how long does it take to hold someone in contempt, when there is blatant defiance of a court order? Keep asking until the Epstein Files are released.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

Abdicated her responsibility as a Senator many moons ago.

Only political cowards “struggle” to respond...

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Release the Epstein Files. That is all. That's the post.

#EPSTEIN HE IS IN IT, MANY TIMES RELEASE THE DAMN EPSTEIN FILES NOW!! COME ON JUDGE. WE ARE TIRED OF THE LIES AND DELAYS!

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

What’s remarkable about Scott is that her philanthropy isn’t an effort to offset the moral choices made in earning her fortune, as was the case for the Carnegies et al. As far I can tell, it’s just unadulterated beneficence.

NEW YORK (AP) — Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott increased her donations to nonprofits in 2025, giving $7.1 billion.

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer agreed to the government’s request to make public a large set of records from the Maxwell case – a cache of transcripts, exhibits, and related materials that could run into the hundreds of thousands of pages and has never been released before.

The decision accelerates the DOJ’s effort to meet a new congressional deadline after law passed last month.

Sometimes, it's difficult to predict how #SCOTUS is going to rule based solely on how the oral argument goes. And sometimes ... it's not.
