Take two minutes to watch this piece with NYT photojournalist Kenny Holston, the only news photographer on the House floor during Trump’s State of the Union speech.

There’s one shot in particular that will likely end up in the history books.

See if you catch which one.

It's all a game to him. When he gets bored with this one, he'll go bomb somewhere else - we are nothing more than fuel for his Iron Whim.

Cuba is confronting the U.S.’s first effective blockade since the Cuban Missile Crisis and running out of fuel fast, pushing the nation toward a humanitarian crisis and its government to the edge of collapse, according to a New York Times analysis. nyti.ms/4cG5Hz3

A painted portrait of Galileo, underneath the words "Legacy Library."

Today is the birthday of #GalileoGalilei, the great Italian astronomer and physicist, whose defense of Copernican heliocentrism famously led to his trial at the hands of the Roman Inquisition. #💙📚 #Booksky

U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies

This is a staggering loss of scientific, medical, and research knowledge from our country. More than that, it's a huge loss for all of us who benefitted from the cures and innovations these PhD experts helped to create. #HigherEdBenefitsEveryone www.science.org/content/arti...

I’ve done a pretty good job of not letting the horrors get to me and send me down a mental health spiral again. But the image of a child that young going through something like this while having a four year-old at home take me to tears and fills me with incandescent rage

USPS Now tracking political mail
I am a mail carrier. I have been so for a number of years, through election cycles. Today, I was informed that we must now, on top of our other duties, track political mail, where it is delivered to, and if it IS delivered.
To give some context to that, we were trained that it is a felony to tamper with or impede the delivery of mail, period. Because we're humans, intent means a lot, because it is easily possible for someone to miss a letter for whatever reason, and the USPS does not want to punish people for honest mistakes.
However, now: dispite the fact that it is a felony to mess with mail delivery, and the fact that we have that drilled into us during training, we are being required to track the delivery of politcal mail specifically.
IDK if this has the same legal restrictions on info gathering that the USPS has typically had with protecting PlI, but I suspect it doesn't. I suspect it's made to ensure we are delivering republican political mail and to track who is receiving democratic poli* mail.

Trump’s Migrant Detention Pipeline Extends From Minnesota to El Paso

ICE is arresting people who are here LEGALLY, then sending them to a Texas detention camp. Once it's determined those people shouldn't be arrested, they are abandoned, left on their own to make it home. /1

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

Ok this video walks you step by step through the testimony of this attorney with a MN federal judge and it will disgust you. I wish I could say it will shock you, but it won’t. Breaking it into 2 videos due to the 3 minute limit.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Trump’s Push to ‘Nationalize’ Elections, Explained The President repeated unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud as he called on the GOP to federalize elections.

Speaking to CNN, former U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III said that federalizing elections would be “flatly unconstitutional,” adding that the President “needs to read the Constitution.”
