The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Our resident lone dolphin is back for breakfast, running prey into the oyster banks on shore. Then the white pelican flock comes in for the leftovers. Wild morning scene a few feet off the stern. There was also half a dozen cormorants at the buffet before the dolphin showed up.

I love that they're admitting they have no core beliefs and they're scared to death that we do.
James O’Keefe responds to a comment
“Figured they (ICE protesters) were being paid…”
O’Keefe:
“No, it's more terrifying than that. It's not transactional.
They actually believe in their cause.
That truth is going to be hard for most people to understand or accept.”

Just in time for a new funding fight, WaPo reports that DHS has not really investigated ANY of 16 shooting incidents.
Dems should demand real investigations for all of these (maybe get Robert Storch, fired DOD IG to do it) AND ALSO LaMonica McIver event.

the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus.
It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway
