Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Going through the new Canadian Security Intelligence Service Public Report and what stands out is the prominence of violent extremism relative to what we've seen in recent years. (Since, say 2020.) This is attributed to "the context of renewed conflict, for example, in the Middle East."

I congratulated Nicușor Dan over the phone.
You are now President for all Romanians.
Together, let’s show all that a strong Europe, with a strong Romania at its heart, delivers solutions.
That’s the noble work I want to carry out with you.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
