Estate planning is an important part of growing older.

If you haven't already (shame if not, but there's still time - for now), start learning about wills, trusts, estate and gift taxes, caregiving, and be sure to not ignore life insurance.

Planning ahead gives you control of your legacy.

It shouldn't have to be said but if you're law enforcement and you have to cover up your face while doing your job, you are not the good guys in this situation.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

I can't believe we have a Pope from Illinois. People from Chicago usually hate the Cardinals.

The big reveal is that this - what you’re seeing right now - is in fact *exactly* how businesses are run; chaotically and at the whims of sociopaths who think they know everything, actually know nothing, and run away with a golden parachute to leave others to clean up their mess.
People constantly claim that the appeal of Republicans is that they are ‘successful’ businesspeople who will “run the country like a business”, but in reality they’re so incompetent at even the most basic tasks that they can’t even prepare a legally-mandated budget request on time.
MURRAY: It was due last week. By law.

PATEL: I understand.

MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline?

PATEL: No

MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?

We were excited to welcome @derecka.bsky.social tonight to join @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social in conversation on his new book, but she was injured defending a student from the police at Columbia last night. @lkspence.bsky.social has graciously agreed to pinch hit, though, so see you at 7!

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t.

The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Someone knows who this man is and where he spends his time. He should be identified. And he should not feel comfortable showing his face in public after this.
This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.

An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/
