Children clung to life in Sudan by the slenderest of threads, supported by community soup kitchens. Then the USAID funding cuts came, and their mothers watched them starve to death one by one. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/…
This primary was sold as a nail-biter but turned into a complete rout, and one of the reasons is because the illusion that opposing genocide is the same as hating Jews has shattered. No one buys it anymore, even in the most Jewish city in America.
It’s not that Mamdani is a compelling candidate except for his Jew hatred. It’s that his Jew hatred is the very thing that’s propelled a totally unqualified guy to the front of the race. Whether he wins the primary or not, we should all be concerned that antisemitism is…

Tariffs or this? Tariffs.
Tariff refresher today for anyone, anyone, who needs it
Civil servants are built different.
We will see what the final numbers are, and of course we don't know what musk has in store after. But I can't overstate how many fed workers have told me they've been radicalized by DOGE to stay put in their jobs

less than 3 percent of federal workers have submitted their "deferred resignations." 7 percent voluntarily leave the government every year nytimes.com/2025/02/07/ups…

DID YOU KNOW for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized, and when Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral. She co-officiated the service which…
