A plea: It is 2025. The term "mail-in ballots" is hopelessly stuck in previous decades. There is absolutely no need for the addition of "-in." We all know the ballots are mailed "in." Please just call them "mail ballots." That is what they are. Ballots returned through the mail. MAIL BALLOTS!

Dear Media,
When JD Vance says "take the country back," what do you think he means? What would the party that controls the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, and various state goats—plus leading businesses, media orgs, and more—take back? Take what from whom?
Thanks,

Landry rushed to clarify he isn't resigning as governor of Louisiana and this will be, like, his side gig I guess. The state constitution explicitly bans state officeholders from simultaneously holding any federal office.
Trump says he’s appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as “special envoy” to Greenland.
Landry has previously expressed support for Trump’s plan to invade Greenland.

Pound/dollar for pound/dollar, the good people can do in buying and wiping out debt (especially medical debt!) is astonishing, and it baffles me that more people with very medium amounts of wealth don’t do it when it would mean so much to people who are drowning
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Trump's handpicked Kennedy Center board votes to rename it the 'Trump-Kennedy Center'
The board's decision to add Trump's name could face legal hurdles, as the law creating the center prohibits renaming the building.

The news of HHS potentially pulling funding for any hospital that provides gender affirming care for youth should terrify everyone. This means the govt can decide what care any of us can receive and hold funding hostage for any hospital that doesn’t bend to its will.

When I’m in the US it still mildly surprises me that almost nobody knows that a country of 40 million has permanently pulled US products, especially liquor, from store shelves in response to Trump threats. There’s a national debate about what to do with all the no-longer-sold US booze
Canada is figuring out what to do with its stockpiles of US alcohol. I suggest they save it, and give it away for free, for the global party coming up soon.

I know Van Hollen will do the right thing but @alsobrooks.senate.gov will you? The way you're acting lately makes me doubt
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.
