Cryptic Emails and No Strings Attached. How MacKenzie Scott Gives Away Billions. The injections of cash, which arrive without warning, have led to bolstered finances, scholarships, jobsβ€”and sometimes even more money.

"Since 2019, MacKenzie Scott has given away more than $26 billion, making her one of the most generous philanthropists alive."

Could we somehow, I don’t know, blame Biden for this?

"...more than five years later β€” and years after Congress ordered a memorial honoring the officers be installed at the Capitol β€” workers placed the plaque inside the building they protected from a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters intent on overturning his 2020 election loss."

I’m so excited! I just saw my first Swallow-tailed Kite of the year from my office window in Central Florida! Terrible iPhone photo, but I was caught off guard πŸͺΆ

β€œRugged independence” is a myth rooted in the unpaid labor of caretakers (typically women).

That’s why β€œAffordability” means universal healthcare, universal childcare, universal elder care, and universal education.

That’s not β€œdreaming too big.” 1/2

Colorado Democrats Push to Rip Up 2028 House Map for an Extra Edge

Major redistricting news:

Colorado Dems are launching a ballot initiative effort for November that would let them redraw the House map in 2028 to counter Republican gerrymanders elsewhere.

A new map could flip 3 currently GOP seats & create a 7-1 Dem majority (though some may flip in 2026 anyway)

It was exciting to photograph some young riders in Central Florida this weekend. The afternoon light was glorious.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

It's not, of course, that he has money to spend on absurdo-yachts and not the Post, but that he would prefer there were fewer Posts around to report on things like absurdo-yachts registered in the Cayman Islands

Utah governor signs bill adding justices to state Supreme Court as redistricting appeal looms Once the new seats are filled, Gov. Spencer Cox will have appointed five of the seven justices.

This hasn’t received nearly enough attention:

Republicans just passed a law to pack Utah’s Supreme Court after it ruled against their congressional gerrymander.

Cox could appoint two more justices before the court hears the GOP’s latest appeal to preserve their gerrymander

42 days after Trump put his name on the building, the Kennedy Center is out of business.

Even by the standards of his casinos and hotels, that’s quick.

Wow, buckle up.

The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat.

This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset.

This is already 45K votes.

If you're gonna show up in the Epstein files, you DON'T wanna show up telling Jeffrey you're going to bring two 16-year-olds, two 14-year-olds, one 13-year-old, one 12-year-old, one 11-year-old and one 7-year old to his pervert island for dinner.

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.

The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

WITNESS: β€œI have read the DHS statement about what happened and it is wrong… the man did not approach with a gun, he approached with a camera. I feel afraid. I don’t feel like I can go home because I heard agents are looking for me.”

This was not a shooting it was an execution. Arrest them all before they’re whisked off to protection. END IT.
