I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Trump’s antipathy for Pope may have roots in childhood Protestant church Manhattan church led by Norman Vincent Peale was known for opposing presidency of JFK – and Catholics in general

rare miss for the guardian. trump’s “antipathy” isn’t rooted in anything but his own wounded ego.

I know it’s hard to find the right words for horrible situations, but I find both “ongoing domestic dispute” and “messy divorce” to be inadequately serious language for this situation.

Following another long silence, Joel summarized what we needed to do next. My description of our lifesaving work had been helpful, and we would need to develop “a very simple way to describe it to the secretary,” he told us. “To be clear, we’re not looking for a laundry list of everything you want to do, you’re going to have to cut things, it’s going to have to be draconian. You’re only going to get things that are priority number one, that is all we’re going to be able to do, so don’t even send up the things that are priorities number two, three, or four.”
At that point, Nida jumped in. Out of the corner of my eye, I had noticed her picking nervously at her hands for most of the meeting, and I knew it was just a matter of time before my oft-impatient colleague spoke up.
“Can I just clarify one thing?” she asked, not waiting for a response. “This group seems very focused on what GH does to respond to infectious diseases, but we haven’t spoken much about our other lifesaving work. Just as one example, we support lifesaving care to mothers for emergency inter- ventions like postpartum hemorrhaging and eclampsia, two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths. You would also consider that kind of work to fit into our ‘priority number one,’ right?”
Another brief silence followed as Joel watched the clock, and it was Paul Seong who broke it. “I’d say that’s more of a number two,” he said dismissively, looking to Joel and Ken for affirmation.

In Feb. 2025 when a USAID worker asked if their “lifesaving care” for “two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths” would be considered a number one priority for programs to save, a Trump official responded “I’d say that’s more of a number two.”

We are in a major crisis. If the Republican leadership does not want to call Congress back into session, the Democrats should come back to Washington and do something now to stop this maniac. Staying home and waiting for next week to do something about it is pathetic.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

I thought I was sick of the thought of space travel.

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is smiling and touching Spock's chest for some reason. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones stand close and all seem thrilled to see him, but are otherwise practicing self control and not feeling his chest. 

Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

Her Child Was Stillborn at 39 Weeks. She Blames a System That Doesn’t Always Listen to Mothers. Every year more than 20,000 pregnancies in the U.S. result in a stillbirth, but not all of these tragedies were inevitable. As many as one in four stillbirths are potentially preventable.

Benny Johnson ended his CPAC speech by saying conservatives would "outbreed" the left, pointing to a poll of Gen Z voters:

"Young Trump voters—men and women—said my number one priority is having children and starting a family."
