I’m just taking such divine pleasure in watching The Wall Street Journal battle the Trump Regime. It doesn’t make up for my existential agony over CBS cancelling Colbert but it helps. Booing JD at Disney helps, too.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID.

Screenshot of Times article with headline: "Florida may loosen child labour laws to fill gap left by migrants" The article explains a law has been proposed in Florida to allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts in agriculture & constraction to make up for lost migrant labour. Yes really.
You truly could not make it up.

I can't find a spot that lets me convey the size of the crowd, but bodies are packed all the way to the stone building. #FreeRumeysaOzturk
Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal.
Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.
As graduate programs lose spots and labs face shutdowns following Trump administration cuts to science funding, students and researchers are left to figure out what's next.

WOW! AOC and Bernie Sanders just held the Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.
This is fabulous!
FINALLY.
Why isn’t everyone screaming?? This. Of course. This massive massive pot of money we have paid into, intended to support our health, our retirement, and our most vulnerable, is about to be tossed into the Wall Street Roulette Wheel. For the rich to exploit.
