Been at work and missed this. Huge.
You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

One of my worst fears. This is positively medieval and entirely misogynistic.

People who dismiss e-books or audiobooks as being somehow less worthy or less meaningful than physical books are missing the point of books. Books are not ink and paper, just as human beings are not defined by their physicality. Books are connections; emotions; ideas; just like their creators.

"Charlotte's Web" is a story about a tiny and nearly invisible creature using the only skills she has to protect a friend and neighbor who's about to be butchered to make the farmer some money, and he returns the favor by caring for her children. Just in case you needed the reminder.

The way both Ryan Lizza and Olivia Nuzzi are now selling their personal lives like melodramas while also both still supposedly being serious political journalists makes me deeply uncomfortable

Teaching about the jury today and reading “Why Jury Duty Matters” again.
It is a book that should be at the center of civic and democracy debates. Perhaps today more than when it was written, it offers a path forward. #Books
