When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now.

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed.
Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in.
Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15?
Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I had a smug teacher laugh as I entered Detention Hall one day:
"Was it worth it?"
"You're damned right it was," I said as I pushed past him.

No, a colonoscopy is not really on the list of Most Fun Things, but then, neither is a colostomy or chemotherapy or dying from an easily identifiable threat.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

I feel cheated that I did not think to use such a ludicrous scenario in my idiotic alien visitation tale. This is right up there with the nonsense I would imagine in a twisted moment.
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.
The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...
(Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)
