Sunny, a yellow lab belonging to a 93-year-old man, went missing in a nature preserve in Los Angeles.

To get her back, volunteers filled traps with food they knew Sunny couldn’t resist: homemade meatballs, kielbasa and rotisserie chicken.

As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.

The pattern seen on the light panels in the interrogation room in #StarTrekTNG's "The Drumhead"⬇️ and "The Defector"⬅️ is very familiar: it was created for the Aldean energy core in "When the Bough Breaks"↖️ and also appears on Klaa's Bird-of-Prey in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"↗️➡️.

Just spent nearly two hours in a line of cars to drop food off for families losing their SNAP benefits. Right now is a literal nightmare but it is incredible to see communities coming together. Everyone understands that the only ones to save us is us.

In New York City, again, efforts to restrict solitary confinement have been in limbo due to Eric Adams’ orders to block a reform. Will the race to replace him, plus the extraordinary federal takeover of Rikers, change this status quo, Piper French asks?

It's been 15 years and nobody's leaked a single bit of this plan, my man
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

In retrospect, maybe it should have been a red flag earlier that they called my degree a "BS in computer science"

For men in politics, it’s a more serious fashion statement not to wear a suit than to wear one. That said: A suit can still say something.

Zohran Mamdani’s suiting in particular has been a clinic in dressing on-message.

These aren’t your dad’s suits and ties that Mamdani is wearing. They’re your groomsmen’s.

I get why it’s confusing, but “everything an LLM says is a lie, including the truth” is, I think, a good frame for dealing with them.

President Trump said he ordered the Defense Department to prepare for potential strikes in Nigeria, an escalation to pressure the West African country’s government over its alleged failure to stop the persecution of Christians.

They would have been nuked by now and then the US military will be celebrating. Abu Ghraib comes to my mind.

Could you imagine the response if another country blew up a boat with Americans on it because they suspected there were drugs on board.

The Justice Department told Congress this week that President Trump could lawfully continue his lethal military strikes on people suspected of smuggling drugs at sea. The move rests on the idea that a Vietnam-era law called the War Powers Resolution does not apply to airstrike campaigns.
War Powers Law Does Not Apply to Trump’s Boat Strikes, Administration Says
The move deepened the idea that a Vietnam-era law, which says congressionally unauthorized deployments into “hostilities” must end after 60 days, does not apply to airstrike campaigns.
