I photographed at least seventy burrowing owls yesterday evening and only one told me to GTFO, which I promptly did. Look at his little tongue! So cute! 🪶

I mean this is not a big deal in the scope of things but the US produces less than 1% of the coffee it consumes and there's no room to chance that because there's nowhere to grow it.
What kind of utter dumbass puts a protective tariff on coffee under those circumstances?

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

A 31-year old unvaccinated man has just died from measles in Chihuahua, Mexico. His infection is reported to be related to the Texas outbreak.
Four unvaccinated people have died in this measles outbreak so far.
The only thing that prevents measles is the MMR vaccine.

It's the same with small and large investors. Some have the resources for the best advisors to move their money around in the most advantageous ways with all the right timing. Others don't.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

Time to stop some truth, and this is coming from a person who is on federal briefing calls 3-4 days/week.
1. There is no way to implement the House appropriations bill without cutting Medicaid, SNAP, and social security. None. Watch for the reconciliation bill to see what Repubs are willing to cut.

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.
That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy.
If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

So glad that Maddow said this. Katie Phang too? What are they even thinking? @msnbc.com
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.
