Read to the end if you’re ready for your heart to break. Kids from the first administration were never reunited after being kidnapped by the government. Vile.

The Trump Administration Is Trapping Migrant Kids In Shelters — HuffPost
In recent years, kids stayed in Office of Refugee Resettlement shelters for about a month. By April, that had climbed to 217 days, with many kids stranded indefinitely.

My child pointed out that while Pope Leo is obviously a White Sox fan (he’s a Southsider and has devoted his life to Divine Mercy, after all), he should really be a Cardinals fan. Since he was a Cardinal. 😂

My favorite Marine wears makeup from time to time…like most women. But she would be appalled at the idea of spending thousands of taxpayer dollars to build a ‘makeup studio’ in the Pentagon. Not exactly mission critical, unless the mission is being a Fox stooge.

Tangible, direct action from Sen. Schatz. We love to see it.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

While markets plunge and retirement accounts reel from Trump’s tariffs:

Elon and DOGE are taking a blowtorch to Social Security

They shut down local offices
They shut down phone services
They shut down website services
And now they’re proposing another round of mass layoffs

Wow — hundreds of faith leaders signed a letter against the cruel Tennessee Republican bill to block undocumented kids from schools… including a pastor from Senator Bo Watson’s own church. 😬

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️

Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

Do clients really want to hire a law firm known for how quickly it rolls over? Yet, now this is Paul Weiss's well deserved reputation.
Jim Cramer on CNBC said that the White House may think that "you can roll China like you rolled Paul Weiss."

whelp.
