Yes. This war will create decades of terrorism across the globe. The orange dummy will be long gone for most of it.

β€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

-Dwight Eisenhower 1953

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

Trump team on damage control after Huckabee comments on Israel Senior administration officials have called Arab officials to explain that a Huckabee comment that Israel can control much of the Middle East did not signal a policy shift.

I guess appointing ambassadors by a$s-kissing skill isn’t a useful guideline.

In latest voting lie, Trump says Dem voters get β€˜seven ballots’ as he pushes mail voting ban As is typical, Trump provided no credible evidence that any voters routinely receive multiple ballots.

NEW: President Donald Trump repeated false claims that Democrats β€œcheated” in the last election and escalated his push for national anti-voting policies, including a ban on mail-in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Watercolour drawing of the Camber Docks in Portsmouth. During my brief year at Portsmouth Art College I used to come here with fellow students in breaks from the sculpture studios down the road. We sat in the greasy spoon cafΓ© to the left of this view and drank in the Bridge Tavern.

One of my watercolour drawings of the Camber Docks in #Portsmouth, a fantastically characterful place often visited with my painting gear. This is from 1992, a painting completed on the spot and still in a portfolio.

Best & Worst States to Raise a Family in 2026 Best & Worst States to Raise a Family in 2026

ICYMI: Minnesota was just ranked the second-best state to raise a family.

From paid leave and school meals, to strong public safety and tax cuts for the middle class, Minnesota is built around the simple idea that families come first.

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine.

Don't think "four-dimensional chess"

Think "toddler + cheerios"

There are too many unleashed dogs whose owners overestimate the stability of their recall. Your joy in nature turns into a problem someone else. Just put the leash on if it’s expected.

The press has reported on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. It’s far bigger and even more important. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-tariff-decision
