Readers may never meet, may never know each other’s names, but they recognize one another through shared stories. feralkatmews.substack.com/p/borrowed-c...

Spikes on the Cart A modest proposal

I’m a pretty chill driver. Road rage isn’t really my thing.

But park your cart sideways in the aisle at Kroger and someone is going to jail. Probably me. But at least they’ll feed me there, and I won’t have to shop for the ingredients.

PLEASE interview Terry Moran very soon!

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans.

You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

😅🤣😂❤️

They know we are, and deserve, so much better than this, and wouldn’t excuse or ignore this stone-cold lunacy from anyone else. And yet, for reasons known only to them, they lack the will or courage to say so out loud.

Forgive them, for they know what they do and must shame themselves anyway. 6/6

And if you’re a practicing Catholic, too, consider a pit stop at the confessional on Sunday. Ask about the golden calf and false prophets if you skimmed past those bits. Check if your priest has any thoughts on making and worshipping graven images. 4/6

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Who hid Americans during the 1979 hostage crisis? Canada. 🇨🇦 👊🏻

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

We fought for our independence.

We fought to end slavery.

We fought against the rise of fascism in Europe.

We fought for civil rights.

I refuse to believe we have lost the will to fight for what is right and just.

Barry Blitt’s first 100 days cover for the New Yorker.

So glad to hear. 😊

Scoop: Top House Democrats are trying to send a delegation to El Salvador The CODEL would aim to investigate the status of deportees being held at CECOT.

SCOOP: Two members of House Democratic leadership are trying to send an official congressional delegation to the El Salvadorian prison where the Trump administration is sending deportees, Axios has learned. www.axios.com/2025/04/15/h...

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.
