Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:
When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

"The US is the only country in the world that politically tolerates and legally ensures the routine mass slaughter of its own citizens."

Then read it again.

Is THIS the one? The one where they say enough?

Early reports of a school shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis (I was baptized at the church there). As always: it's the guns. The US is the only country in the world that politically tolerates and legally ensures the routine mass slaughter of its own citizens.
It's the Guns.
America is the only rich democracy that features the routine mass slaughter of its citizens with guns. Why does this happen? The data show a really clear picture: It's the guns. Yes, it's that simple.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

Good timing. He signed an EO last night to send the military into local jurisdictions to "prevent crime".
Here it is. The MAGA brownshirts. How will we respond? Who in Congress or the Courts will protect us from his depravity and from Project 2025 goons?

In one week, you can walk up the staircase and find a magical fairy tale land where you can become a king or queen...no wait...thats Narnia. Um. What was this again? Oh yes, right, in one week you can walk up the staircase and find something absolutely horrific. C'mon, its Chuck Wendig!
One week, the staircase appears.
I am obliged in the midst of the chaos and fuckery of our current era to remind you to preorder THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS from, ideally, your favorite indie bookstore, because indies rule. Also, there's Bookshop-dot-org, Kobo, Libro-dot-fm! Please and thank you!

The SAVE Act is the GQP attempt to rig elections in their favor forever.
Please make noise, especially to the R districts in your state!

Take Action: STOP 🛑 the SAVE Act
The so-called “SAVE Act” would kneecap democracy by destroying the modern-day process of registering to vote.
I explain in the video (in my newsletter) why that is.
