It's very good. I haven't read Donne in quite a while.
I wonder what he would have made of the world today?

Why did SCOTUS decide to allow the TX maps? Because if the DEMS get the majority there WILL be hell to pay in the form of hearings & possible impeachments of Justices.

Supreme Court lets Texas use gerrymandered map that could give GOP 5 more House seats
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for a Texas congressional map that may help the GOP win five more U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterms. A lower court found the map is likely unconstitutional.

I love the intersection between poetry and science.
Here we have the physics of the heart balancing between knowing and unknowing, love and loss, presence and disappearance.
Every line hums with quiet wonder and the ache of trying to hold what won’t stay still.

Corporations are one of the worst fictions in our World. Whenever a corporation does something evil, real flesh and blood people made that decision. These people should be held accountable. When a corporation murders tens of thousands of people, the people who made that decision should go to prison.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Truly a travesty by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court just failed this country.
Despite clear evidence of racial gerrymandering, they upheld maps designed to rig the next election and silence communities of color.
I will never stop fighting to restore fair representation in Texas. Our future depends on it.

It wasn't about tariffs it was just the only way Republicans could implement something like a National Sales tax that they've pushed for over the decades. They prefer it to income tax because it impacts the poor and middle class much more than the wealthy. Scumbags that they are.

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.
As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.
