On principle, I hate the idea that I can appreciate Rand Paul’s answers to Stephanie Ruhles questions right now. He was reasonable tonight. I had to do a double take.

Yarn winders are great until you hit a snag. This is going to take some patience. I have none at the moment so the yarn sits half wound, mocking me. Thankfully my red yarn will not require this step and I can focus on relearning how to cast on and knitting in the round. It’s been 30 years.

As chilling as the arrest of reporters is - they have now made Don Lemon the face of independent journalism. Right or wrong - they have just put a laser focus on the role of an independent media and the importance of their work.

Canadians took massive casualties fighting the American war in Afghanistan.
Trump says we never stepped up. JD Vance says he's sick of our "sob stories".
MP Jamil Jivani is best friends with Vance. Will he deliver a simple message from Canada?
Trump and Vance can go F--k themselves.
Never again.

Damning indeed. Independent media is our only hope.
AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.
