Stanford, huh?

His "anchored in the truth" is a bold statement--considering he admitted to creating stories about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio . . .

Uh. A better punch than Rougned Odor on Bautista? I'll have to check that out.

Really want to impress the importance of masking not only to protect yourselves, but for the immunocompromised people around you. For example, I have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The one time I caught Covid it brought back all the issues I dealt with during my hospitalizing flare up. ->

Book

The paperback of THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP is out today. This is only a perfunctory announcement. My father died; I'm taking time off. But it's a good book: travelogue, history, memoir. If you like my newsletter, you'll like it. Now it's cheaper! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

A photo of Ali and Fatima in their press vests and hats, smiling at the camera with Lebanon in the background

Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni.

They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years.

Unprecedented.

What did James Coburn (leaving the set of The Great Escape) ever do to you?

No more excuses for funding social programs.

They're making it an easier decision for us to send our HS daughter out of state for college (& we won't be far behind).

These dipshits plan to vote on this tomorrow. Flood your reps with calls. Yes, even the GOP. Tell them that this will nuke their voter base as well.

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?

AI is an existential threat to all that is good about humanity

Sen. Husted can’t testify in person in corruption trial due to 'Iran War,' but did come to Ohio for fundraiser U.S. Sen. Husted can't leave D.C., to testify in the largest public corruption trial in Ohio history due to the "Iran war," the defense attorneys said, but did find time to return for a fundraiser.

The Iran war couldn't keep Jon Husted from headlining a $1,000/plate fundraiser. Just from testifying in person at Ohio's biggest corruption trial in history. https://bit.ly/3P82U81

Hey, not all men . . . No, you're probably right.

Good God--watching the degradation of what used to be better than most

Gold and white font on a black background reads "1 in 5 pennsylvanians dropped their healthcare coverage for 2026." Below is a photo of a health insurance form and medication.

1 in 5 Pennsylvanians have dropped their health coverage for 2026 because the costs are too high.

In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should go bankrupt for basic care. It's well past time to fix our broken system and pass Medicare for All.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

The SAVE act is anti-American & anti-democracy. I’m furious that it passed the House.

It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. Voter fraud is rarer than rare—and when it does occur, it’s often MAGA trying to illegally tip the scale.

I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at galluppanel@gallupmail.com to let them know what you think of this.

Funny . . . We've had season 7, ep 1 cued up for wks now. We gotta do it sometime but nobody in the house is pushing for it.

I've started to use Ecosia more often--good so far (easy to to turn off ai).

On behalf of the American public: Please boo these assholes. Please.

Starbucks baristas have been on strike for 3 months fighting for a contract and an end to union-busting.

The ask is simple: Delete the Starbucks app — NOW — and send a message that there's no "business as usual" without a fair contract.
