Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.
Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage.
Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

Illegally releasing military records for politics threatens every veteran. Instead of supporting our service members, the GOP is complicit as our veterans get screwed and our military is politicized. Their hostility towards those who served will cost them. We'll ensure that.

A lovely German phrase for describing a place in the middle of nowhere is wo sich Fuchs und Hase gute Nacht sagen. It means “where the fox and hare say goodnight.”

D. T. Max traces the ongoing evolution of the Sagrada Família, an immense church in Barcelona—and perhaps one of the only large construction projects in the world which, thanks to tourism, pays for itself.
Is the Sagrada Família a Masterpiece or Kitsch?
In the century since Antoni Gaudí died, his wild design has been obsessively realized, creating the world’s tallest church—and an endlessly debated icon.

Americans' cost for coffee is going up in a big way. ☕️
Trump has imposed a 50% blanket tariff on Brazil, the world's biggest coffee producer. There are also currently 20% and 32% tariffs on Vietnam and Indonesia, respectively, both of whom are also major coffee producers.

Despite unprecedented levels of funding for #ICE, the agency relies on local law enforcement for assistance.
The big, ugly bill includes $14 billion for local law enforcement departments to incentivize such partnerships.
