1. 25 Silly and Soft Cat Snaps for People Seeking a Sprinkle of Serotonin
Right now, the thing that we need the most in our lives is a sprinkle of serotonin.
What do the immigrants have with them when arriving in a country where theyβve never been before? Money, clothing, anything? Or are they taken into custody? Does anyone know what is happening to these people sent to βthird countriesβ?
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost.

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.
And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Priorities.
I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written.
Epstein and His Co-Conspiratorsβ New York Crimes: What NY officials can now do
Have Trump cry βUncleβ
I really think Hesgeth believed Iran would get knocked out in the first round and there was no need to plan for everything that was obviously going to happen next, Israel knew better but kept that to itself, Trump was incurious and easy to persuade, and nobody in administration dared push back.
Nothing they do is in Americaβs best interest, our best interest, or humanityβs best interest. NOTHING. In fact, they do the opposite.
Theyβre spending/wasting our money like mad on totally unnecessary things: war in Iran, bombing 7 countries, vindictive prosecutions, no-parole immigrant detention, new detention camps, huge masked secret police force, lobster, marble presidentβs bathroom, gilded oval office, demolition of the WHβ¦
Someone needs to keep track of the cost of this "adventure" on a daily basis, and compare it to the cost of the programs that have been cut:
Next week - you can say "There is where the USAID money went". Then we do Food Stamps. Then Medicaid. Then Obamacare. and on and on.
That's about half of what it cost for USAID for a whole year www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
Five presidential elections ago, before the Supreme Courtβs 2010 ruling that lifted many remaining campaign finance restrictions, the share of billionaire spending was almost zero β 0.3 percent, to be precise.
Now itβs 19%.

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.
We have no government right now.
This is what happens when you don't have a government.

Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
βI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,β said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. βIt was such a shock."
Who in the government is eating crab legs and lobster when food stamps for the poor were cut? Who?
The United States and Iran have signaled no quick end to their war, with Trump saying it was necessary to finish the job and Iran warning that the world should be ready for oil at $200 a barrel after striking tankers in Iraqi waters and other ships near the vital Strait of Hormuz reut.rs/4bioYUX
Yes, this is an excellent piece of investigation, narration, and accountability, by Mike Baker and Steven Rich in @nytimes.com Very much worth going back to read.
NPR spent several days traveling across a pair of swing districts in Pennsylvania to find out. The answers show how much has changed since the 2020 election. n.pr/3P4vAir
"The spirit of liberty requires moral courage among the people who are elected to Congress... but it also requires all of us It requires us to speak out without fear It requires us to tell others unpleasant truths that they do not want to hear."
