I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death.
Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

To be clear, the US Institute of Peace is not part of the government.
BREAKING—The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) office was just on lockdown for close to an hour while members of the DOGE team tried to enter the building, multiple people have told me. Security has now escorted out remaining staffers who’ve been told to telework until further notice.

this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)
Seniors came to JD Vance's event to demand the Trump Administration stop cutting Social Security.
JD's response:

Yes, split the vote so republicans always win. Great plan. 🙄🙄🙄 Work within your local elections, actually vote in primaries if you want true change in the Democratic Party. Screaming and throwing fits at the drop of a hat doesn’t help the cause.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

I can’t control anything and all I want to do is dissect the tv show, My Two Dads. I have been obsessively watching the show all week and I have thoughts and feelings about a show as old as me.

I’m pretty numb to a lot. I had a rush of anger and then…it went away. It’s not a good development but…when my judgement isn’t clouded by anger, I see things…differently. Something is coming but it’s not what we think or how it looks. Just a feeling.
