Life is not just about the present hardships, but also about poetry and distant fields. Step on the gas and leave your worries in the rearview mirror.
The Democrats hold a slight advantage in the House of Representatives elections (with projections suggesting they could regain control with 229 seats to 206), while the Senate remains deadlocked in an extremely tight 50-50 split.

Trump has not once called on Putin to stop bombing civilian population centers, which he targets daily. Witkoff & Kushner never said that to Putin. We cut off Patriots to Ukraine for air defense. But now he demands Ukraine stop bombing refineries while Russia murders civilians.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

crypto, car dealerships and MLMs. ripe targets for political and policy reasons.
Democrats should be targeting crypto, as a Republican constituency, with the same zeal that Republicans targeted universities for being liberal-coded.
But they won’t, because it might jeopardize the crumbs that industry throws their way.

A heartwarming moment where a stranger patiently connects with an abandoned stray dog who didn't trust humans. Calm, kindness, and love ultimately prevail.

This is going to make me sound old and maybe a little nostalgic but it’s really striking how in the Trump era, no one even pretends to debate about policy anymore.

I just saw someone admonishing someone trans to shut up about trans rights because there are concentration camps in the US, and you know who I see overwhelmingly and disproportionately on the front lines standing up against concentration camps?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tells 60 Minutes that news of a U.S. fighter jet being shot down over Iran woke him in the middle of the night. His first thought: “S***.”

Glad 60 Minutes is doing a Jacob Wohl story literally nine years after I reported on that guy. One time he was pretending a scam website he was running wasn't his, so I called the number on the website and it went to his mom's voicemail. Jacob is like training wheels for investigative journalists.

Canadian police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel came to NYC, on and off duty, traveling independently or in groups to stand with Americans and help shoulder the enormous burden of recovery and cleanup at Ground Zero.

Today, I was proud to join New Yorkers for the 9/11 Day of Service at the Intrepid Museum.
September 11th is a day we remember the terror and loss our city endured. It is also a day we remember the extraordinary courage, kindness and generosity New Yorkers showed one another.

One of the biggest legacies of 9/11 was the rapid growth of mass surveillance.
Whether it's the PATRIOT Act, Palantir, or Flock cameras, Americans don't want more erosions of our civil liberties in the name of "security."

The NFL kicks off tonight with the Seahawks taking on the Patriots.
The Seahawks just became the latest team to take on private equity investment.
But private equity isn't just sinking its teeth into the NFL — it's investing in other sports leagues and countless other industries.
Be warned.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one
