Thank you for this, Chris. I wasn’t familiar with any of White’s writing beyond his children’s books. What a joy to read. At its core Charlotte’s Web is a story of the small defeating the mighty through the power of words. May we all take heart.
NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Pretty rad that a guy was able to run a multi-year campaign based on the idea that China was just going to start paying us zillions of dollars and not once did the media explain how that’s just not how the world works.
Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

The Houston Chronicle editorial board opposed the War in Iraq while supporting President George W. Bush. They're telling MAGA voters to do the same with Venezuela and President Trump.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
