As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Congressional Budget Office believed to be hacked by foreign actor
The Congressional Budget Office formulates economic projections for lawmakers, and every bill taken up in either chamber of Congress gets a CBO “score” of how much it would add to the national debt.

You don't get this level of excitement in my local Tesco.
Shoppers at the Branson Walmart were stunned after a black bear wandered inside, picked up a can of bear spray, and accidentally sprayed it down an aisle before walking back out through the front doors. Several people were treated for coughing and irritation, and the bear was safely guided away.

I finished reading Art of the Lie this morning. I am stunned, as I was repeatedly throughout the book. Completely drained. No shocked gasps left in me. Thank you-an amazing book. I’m sure I’ll recover soon.

V late to this (it’s a weekend, family stuff, etc) but..I agree with Ben. Both Katie Lam’s interview about deporting people with legal status (and the way STimes treated it) & the Christian Calgie business are disturbing egs of forgetting that ‘normal on X these days’ is very much not normal
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

I love this story both for itself and for the idea that at some point Dustin Hoffman must have heard it and felt a way about it.
my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"
