HUGE appreciation for the local Indivisible groups in Indiana who have been working for weeks and weeks on this, meeting with legislators, testifying, protesting, calling, advocating. Pressure works!!!
🎉 BREAKING: WE DID IT! 🎉
After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!
This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.

If I had to pick a word to describe Calibri, the sans-serif typeface that was the default font for Microsoft apps from 2007 to 2024, it would probably be “inoffensive.” More »
Now the Trump Administration Is Coming After Our Fonts
The ultrareadable font Calibri is too weak and woke for Marco Rubio’s serif-supremacist State Department. Times New Roman is apparently now MAGA.

Always good when a president says he pardoned someone explicitly to curry political favor.
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

Four years before John Constable painted this in 1821, John Keats was writing about 'Negative Capability: 'when man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.' This is what negative capability looks like in paint.

1/ You must refuse illegal orders.” That’s what 6 Democratic members of Congress said on video. Trump called it seditious. The FBI launched an investigation. Then came reporting in WAPO about an order SecDef Hegseth gave ahead of the 9/2 attack on a boat allegedly trafficking drugs in the Caribbean.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.
