Can't speak for all white people, but, no, my family doesn't do this with parents' cousins. Sometimes your close friends' kids will call you Auntie/Uncle, but even that isn't super common.

The president should be meeting with congressional leaders on both sides every single day until government is open.

Instead, Trump is in Asia pining to meet dictator Kim Jong Un and he's focused on building himself a $300 million ballroom.

Now that the Ninth Circuit has granted rehearing en banc in the Oregon National Guard case, here’s what happens next:

Steve Vladeck @stevevladeck.bsky.social · 8d

Just a reminder that "en banc" review in the Ninth Circuit is ... unique.

The full court (29 active judges, currently with a 16-13 D-R split) votes on whether or not to rehear a case en banc.

If so, then *10* judges are randomly drawn to sit with Chief Judge Murguia as the "en banc" court.

I wrote that Trump's destruction of the East Wing was to build a palace for him to be a king.

The Washington Post editorial board wrote that Trump is "pursuing a reasonable idea."

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Do you not count Oracle too? (in addition to Microsoft and Google).

Don't forget the bad error handling of everything built on top of it that didn't fail over correctly. Gonna be a lot of RCAs. (I'm assuming failing over to another region would have worked, but to be fair, I haven't looked at it enough to know that)

I was at both the Louvre and Versailles for the first time in 20+ years this summer. I was not evaluating security, but the tourist experience was underwhelming. Long waits to get in even with timed tickets, bad signage, spotty Internet inside the Louvre. It could be so much better.

Stacey Doerr @staceynews.bsky.social · 8d

It has at least three big competitors (from Microsoft, Google, and Oracle), so I'm not sure that "control" is the right word, nor what you're suggesting people or governments should do about it.

First, I want to be able to see the stats of how far we are done with a list and not just how far I am. Then a tally of doors I've knocked on cross candidate. Then a pet candidate leaderboard. Then "sign up for canvassing shifts for this candidate"

Don't sleep on local elections. School boards can cooperate wholeheartedly with ICE, or only what the law requires. City councils can do a lot for clean energy even without the clowns at the national level.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

I got 4(!) texts from Janet Mills today to the same number. 3 of them identical. That's incompetent list management. Also, given I get texts from districts I've never even heard of, it just can't be that hard to get a list. (should be harder, it's currently awful to get multiple texts a day)

More than 280,000 Washingtonians will lose coverage because of the Republican health care crisis. Congress needs to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits and reverse Medicaid cuts so families have access to health care.
