"We should be exceedingly clear: There is no crisis in Chicago that requires the National Guard. To the extent that there is civil instability in Chicago it has been caused by Trump’s surge of federal agents into the city and their lawless assault on the citizens of Chicago."

Kelce is wearing a camp-style short-sleeved shirt with a bird print, along with a suede cap, and Mahomes is wearing a white collared shirt, a pink checkered double-breasted vest, and a pale pink tie.

Women make up only ~1/4 of members of Congress. And only ~1/6 of Congressional Republicans. But they're overwhelmingly the family health managers.

Which is why representation matters. And why the men currently in charge will fight tooth and nail to keep women away from the levers of power.

Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.

Cultivate a couple of hobbies. Ideally, things that have nothing to do with your day job and that bring you joy, even if you're not great at them.

Falling in love with something that you are not looking to master, but rather looking to master loving, is one of the most important things you will do to keep yourself mentally healthy. We are too used to learning for commodity rather than learning for the joy of the art. Learn & don't feel bad.

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 1d

Hobbies are a great way to find a community. But I'd also recommend having at least one hobby that you can do and enjoy doing solo. Because if you have to get a whole team together before you can do any of your hobbies, it's easier to give up if the group breaks down.

Hobbies don't have to be expensive or super time-consuming. You can watch YouTube videos and learn to draw cartoons or portraits. You can get a book from the library and learn to bake cakes or grow a little garden on your windowsill. You can go for sunset walks and practice photography.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how the beginnings of things often become apparent only in hindsight. When they turn into something so big that it can't be easily ignored or denied.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

I'm on the call for the emergency hearing requested by CA, OR, and Portland on Trump's attempt to send 200 California troops into Portland.

So far, we're just waiting for the host to join.
