I came across the movie Pig by accident. It’s as if someone crossed Manchester by the Sea with John Wick and added in Ratatouille. There are scenes that will simply take your breath away.

Prestige TV is at its peak with gripping narrative, masterful dialogues, incomparable acting, intricate set designs/costumes & emoting soundtrack.

We live in a ridiculous timeline when this has to be said.
*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Imagine the full throated, GOP outrage if this national security fuck-up happened during the Biden administration. Hypocrisy and incompetence are deadly cocktails served by the Trump WH.

This is the most perfect response by Jeffrey Goldberg in this most imperfect time.
A fantastically important postscript to this piece: David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation, and Goldberg gives a perfect answer — with perfect swipes. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

You know you screwed up bigly when Trump endorses your position.

Pete's laying the ground work for 2028.
I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:
I'm Not Running in 2026, But I Am Getting to Work
We all have work to do in delivering a better kind of politics for America.

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Apparently, cutting FAA staffing and budget is not ideal. It is apparent that Pete Buttigieg was holding the whole aviation thing together with MacGyver ingenuity and duct tape over the last 4 years.
A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago.

Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

This is a fascinating and thought provoking article. With so many modern medicines that were derived from flora and fauna, it is high time that humans return the favor and save plants and animals whose habitats are under threat as we may likely need them for our survival down the line.
The discovery of a digestion-slowing hormone in the Gila monster's venom paved the way for Ozempic. When a Gila monster named Pebbles needed medicine in return, a pharmaceutical chemist pivoted to help save the species. nyti.ms/4i5w40U

We need Pete to run…for anything.
Great to start the day off right, running with UChicago Institute of Politics students undeterred by single-digit temps. They say there’s no such thing as bad weather - just bad gear.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

With Trump's manufactured & idiotic trade wars with Canada and Mexico, the dangerous & inhumane shutdown of USAID, and Elon running amuck with scissors & cosplaying the shadow President, watching Tiny Desk on @npr.org is a much needed mental health therapy and hot chicken soup for the soul.

I dearly miss competent and compassionate leadership, and it’s just January.
Well said, Pete Buttigieg
