Raised by wolves. I value interdependence and loyalty. Work’n on being better everyday. Plant powered athlete. “There is no bad pizza, only better pizza.”

Remarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.

Counterpoint: the longer the GOP is one vote down in the Senate the better for Dems. Why on earth would you be urging a Dem to install a replacement Republican?

In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo. So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?

While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.

White House plays nice with the exact same Republican senators it recently tried to politically destroy, all to save Todd Blanche's AG nomination. Both lawmakers withhold support pending written guarantees dismantling a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization IRS settlement fund brokered by Blanche.

The two senators are the swing votes necessary to advance the attorney general nominee out of the Judiciary Committee next week.

Donald abandoned his 3 oldest kids, when they were all in grade school, to run off with a mistresses. He had a child with that mistress, speculated about the eventual size of that baby's breasts, and then abandoned her too. He married his next mistress. And cheated on her with someone in porn.

Chicago and now Boston have lost members of their DOTs to their dangerous streets. I don't know what else wakes up mayors but this shouldn't be a necessary step.

Statement from @bikeboston.bsky.social, @streetsboston.bsky.social, and @walkmass.bsky.social about Louisa Gag, who was hit and killed by a driver today. Yet another life taken because our society and leaders refuse to address the destruction wrought by cars.

We are devastated by the loss of Boston resident and transportation planner, Louisa Gag. On Thursday morning, a driver struck and killed Louisa on her bicycle commute to city hall along Tremont Street near Roxbury Crossing.
Louisa Gag is not just a number on a spreadsheet; she was a champion for safer streets, a vibrant part of the planning and advocacy community, and a person dedicated to fixing the very system that failed her.

Some experts voted for him twice—once for each term. “Much more corrupt and dangerous to the Constitution than all of the others on this list combined,” observed author and columnist Jonathan Alter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. trib.al/xdtpZNR
