Yes, but falsely conflating emergency supplemental funding to combat an actual invasion of Ukraine with supplemental funding to address real challenges at the US-Mexico border that are decidedly NOT related to an invasion was always dangerous BS so separating them is swell.

Huge disappointment. There is no safe and reasonable way for most people in Ward 3 to ride downtown. Shortsighted transportation planning decision.

Great point about another innovation of the Biden administration that has transformative potential if given the opportunity to grow and demonstrate the benefits of welcome to more communities around the country.

I donated $126ā€”$18 for each of the seven World Central Kitchen team members killed in this strikeā€”to honor them and the organization for the critical work they do.

Please consider making your own donation. wck.org/donate

If immigrants in Iowa actually were to leave the state as a result of the unconstitutional bill the governor may soon sign into law, the biggest loser would be Iowa itself. apnews.com/article/iowa-bā€¦

Granting anonymity to a House Republican aideā€”not even a senior aide?!?ā€”to say something this dumb is really silly.

Maybe worth pointing out that House Republicans havenā€™t voted to impeach Biden BECAUSE THEYā€™D LOSE THAT VOTE.

Itā€™s also a story of how people who believe that government can work for the peopleā€¦ make government work for the people.

The other side uses its gavels to hit each other (and often themselves) on their heads.

Great podcast episode. Depressing when paired with Robert Kaganā€™s recent piece exploring the historical roots of Trumpā€™s ā€œAmerica Firstā€ ideology in connection with the abandonment of Ukraine. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/ā€¦ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/theā€¦

ā€œWe hugged on Sunday,ā€ Carlos Alexis told me about his brother, Maynor, one of the Baltimore bridge construction workers whose body has yet to be recovered.

ā€œHad I known, I would not have let him go to work.ā€

It's not an abuse of power for the Department of Justice to go to court to successfully stop the State of Texas from violating the Constitution.

Abbott and Johnson will still complain when SCOTUS blocks the law, probably 6-3.

The rule of law means nothing to these people.

The ā¦Strict Scrutiny Podcastā© folks and ā¦Steve Vladeckā© are *exceptionally* comprehensive and clear about the recent back-and-forth involving the Supreme Court and 5th Circuit. Stellar work. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strā€¦

ā€œJust make sure thereā€™s no one on the bridge right now. ā€¦ If thereā€™s a crew up there, get them off.ā€
