Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

I missed this news.

“In a June 13, 2025, news release, the Army announced the swearing-in of 4 tech executives as lieutenant colonels, a rank that typically takes nearly two decades to achieve… all of the executives either currently hold or once held senior positions at Meta, Palantir or OpenAI.”

Our @seattlekraken.com have recalled defenseman Ville Ottavainen from the Coachella Valley Firebirds. No official update on Ryan Lindgren, who left last night's game after taking a puck in the head/neck area.

Ville Ottavainen, in his white Coachella Valley Firebirds jersey, with number 36, skates forward surrounded by fire. Text reads "Called Up: Ville Ottavainen, Firebirds ---> Kraken."

Was quoted in the New York Times again today.

This story is about the increase in WNBA ticket prices.
Once upon a time, the WNBA gave tickets away. They are not doing that anymore. People want to see the WNBA now!!

If you couldn’t attend a No Kings event but want to do something to resist and help an ICE target… sign the petition for Rodney Taylor.

He’s a disabled double amputee who’s been held for months in ICE custody.

He was days away from receiving
new legs when he was taken.

Sign the Petition

Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention
