1) the 1917 halifax explosion was a horrific but fascinating historical event. a munitions ship blew up in the harbor and the blast was 1/5th the strength of the hiroshima a-bomb.

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

Trump‘s tariffs, a tax on the United States, has pulled in roughly $170 billion. Trump, a well-known liar, fraudster, and felon, Has inflated this number by about times 15. The tariffs, a tax on everyone, but particularly harmful to poor and wage earning Americans, also harm the economy.
Trump just claimed his tariffs have pulled in $2 trillion. Then literally hours later, he inflated that to $3 trillion. With this absurdity, he undermined his case for tariffs, revealing that he's just pulling numbers out of his ass.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I asked Georgetown law prof David Super wtf is going on with this latest demand for states to claw back benefits already sent out.
He says the law doesn't allow for this, and if the USDA is mad that states already sent out SNAP money, too bad—they were following USDA's own guidance. Full comments:
