Can someone explain to me how it is that the stock market has gone up the past two days?? I was convinced we were on the verge of a collapse, and there’s nothing that’s happened to change my mind. 😕
ProPublica reporting is often cited by other outlets, but this is a particularly entertaining example: people.com/kristi-noem-...
The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.
Wait, I’m not understanding something. How did The Newsroom start on the wrong side of the shark?
A DOGE staffer testified that a documentary about Jewish women used as slave labor during the Holocaust was targeted for termination because it was "inherently related to DEI."
Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job “losses”; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. And in savaging medical and scientific grants and going to war with universities, Trump is further undercutting one of America’s greatest sources of long-term growth and productivity
Really, did we “lose” jobs, as in “misplace” them, like car keys or reading glasses? And for whom was this unexpected? Let’s get real. The jobs were not “lost,” and it is not as much of a shocker as legacy outlets made it out to be.

I love when something I really want finally goes on sale! Feeling of accomplishment for waiting. And somehow the thing seems even more valuable when you know you got a good price! 💪🏻❤️

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.
Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas — immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
On the first day of this war, the US bombed a school with almost the same exact death toll as when Timothy McVeigh bombed the daycare center of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. And our leaders wonder why Iran doesn't surrender immediately.

News: CBS News Justice correspondent Scott MacFarlane is exiting the network, it was announced on the network’s morning editorial call.
I was concerned about Scott MacFarlane, an upstanding journalist, being stuck inside Bari Inc. Not surprised that he's leaving. Grab him, @msnownews.bsky.social
Dear media,
When you ask Mike Johnson about Andy Ogles' hateful tweet against Muslims and Johnson says he knows nothing about it, hand him a printout of the tweet and ask him to read it. "It's just 10 words, Mr. Speaker. Please read it. Now, what do you think?"
The cup is nice but OMG THAT JACKET!! Gorgeous!!
Absolutely, so long as the rescue group knows you can only do 2 months. It may help them free up some space to rescue another kitty. (I work with a rescue group and we are always desperate for foster homes.)

Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.
📌 The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate “Armageddon.”
Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
A dude in Texas who makes bomb shelters for nuclear war has seen his business skyrocket this week.
Recent clients include 2 Trump admin members, and the rest were almost all “Christian, conservative CEOs,” which included “several of the wealthiest men on the planet."

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
And this one’s going to be much, much worse.
