The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

Two things both true:
The loved ones of Venezuelans are celebrating that they are no longer in CECOT; some are celebrating their return home.
And.
It is a violation of international law to cause someone to be returned where they’ll be persecuted. Most of them never got a chance to make that case.

The president pushing to change our very conception of citizenship—which nearly all Americans were taught and grew up with as a given—is an incredibly big deal. As @swin24.bsky.social writes, it's about way more than threatening one celebrity's citizenship over speech, including the attacks on 14A.
Trump Thinks He Can Take Away Citizenship From Anyone He Doesn't Like

Conspiracy theories are almost never true and their proponents are merely trying to find some kind of underlying order to a chaotic world. The sole exception is the NBA draft lottery.

A general life rule: If a scam seems obvious to you, it wasn't meant for you. We can all be scammed. We're just able to see through cons for whom we are not the target audience. Treat those who get scammed not as jokes or inferior, but as humans just like the rest of us. One day, it could be you.

As someone who lost his mom in the last year, this "Call Your Mom" ad AT&T is running during NHL games is a nice little dagger out of nowhere.
But, damn, they're right. Call your mom. Call your dad too if you still can. Some of us can't.

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

The Trump admin is killing aid programs en masse, contrary to what it told a federal court.
One program is for extremely malnourished babies -- who may die within hours without treatment.
The program costs $120k / month.

Trump officials start dismantling civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan
Legal experts said that unwinding a civil rights-era bulwark designed to safeguard employees’ rights removes a crucial check on institutional power.
