Dogs Build Their Vocabularies Like Toddlers

Maybe my dog would learn more toy names if she didn’t gut them so quickly.

I read this book after seeing your post. I was hoping it would help me understand my daughter’s fascination with the metaphysical. I’m not sure it did that but it was still fascinating. Thanks to your wife for the recommendation.

Thousands participate in ‘No Kings Day’ protest at Idaho State Capitol in Boise • Idaho Capital Sun “No Kings Day” protests coincided with President Donald Trump’s birthday and a military parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th birthday.

The crowd covered the Idaho Capitol steps, filled the section of Jefferson Street in front of the building and stretched deep and wide throughout nearby Cecil D. Andrus Park as people chanted “No more kings” and “Love, not hate, makes Idaho great.”

Don’t Fight Lies With Fear—Fight Them With Truth If we abandon integrity in the name of urgency, we lose ourselves.

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Idaho legislators shave heads to support colleague, raise awareness for breast cancer screening • Idaho Capital Sun Rep. Brooke Green sponsored a new law this year that requires health insurance companies to cover supplemental breast cancer screenings.

When Rep. Mike Pohanka, R-Jerome, learned Rep. Brooke Green, D-Boise, would be losing her hair and beginning treatment, Pohanka offered to shave his head too to symbolically go through the battle with her. Pohanka then recruited other legislators to join him. #idleg #idpol

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
