I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

The funniest possible outcome would be that this map gets struck down and the California one is upheld and suddenly Democrats are the big winners from gerrymandering

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm very grateful to all the former DOJ attorneys who went on the record in this piece. It is no small risk.

We’re having our first fire of the year and I dug Carmen’s bed out of the closet so she can soak up some heat. In the bed I found her toys that I’d been searching for. Win-win for Carmen

Most countries have some form of universal health care. I agree that those that don’t should not be considered civilized.

For context, did you notice the question Epstein is responding to here is specifically a question about Trump's "attitude towards women"?

To which he responds: "I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body."

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.
This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.

Republican senators hate this song after outlawing homelessness. Play it for them on blast. It should be somewhat a national theme song with people about to have to decide between shelter, food, and healthcare because trumpflation and republican policies.
