The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour. A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29. Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

The cut to SSI for families who also rely on SNAP was not the Social Security Administration’s idea, even though that agency runs the SSI program. Instead, it was initiated by top White House and DOGE officials last year, ProPublica has learned. propublica.org/article/trump-…

The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis—and then called her a “fucking bitch” moments before she died in her car—was only placed on three days of administrative leave and continues to work for the agency in another state. trib.al/nsYvEYz

The Voting Rights Act “was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her dissent. “Only [the American people] have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the members of this Court.” trib.al/HaHlAhr

A Chesapeake Bay retriever named Train flunked out of drug detection school for being too energetic. Today, there's a statue of him in Argentina's largest provincial park. Train was a Humane Society rescue. His rescuers tried to make him a narcotics dog, but ultimately gave up. He was, in his trainer's words, "like a bull in a china closet." So conservation biologist Karen DeMatteo took him on instead. She needed a dog who could cover hundreds of miles of Atlantic Forest in northeast Argentina, finding the poop of five elusive carnivores: jaguars, pumas, ocelots, oncillas, and bush dogs. Trail cameras kept getting stolen by poachers and the animals were too rare to spot directly. The data that Train collected over his career mapped the multi-species wildlife corridor that's now expanding across Misiones Province. His findings (published in PLoS ONE in 2023) showed jaguars actually use disturbed habitats more than scientists thought. Train died in September 2022 at sixteen years old. His last working trip had been to Nebraska, sniffing for mountain lions at age twelve. By the end he was grey, tired, and finally allowed unlimited tennis balls. The next summer, the Argentine government unveiled a statue of him at Urugua-í Provincial Park, sniffing the ground in his orange field harness.

He isn't serial code YPP5. He's James. And he's on his way to his new family.

The Voting Rights Act was reauthorized by Reagan and Bush, and enforced by a Republican Supreme Court majority for 55 years. The idea that it was far-left partisan Democratic legislation is just ahistorical.

Aziz Ansari just appeared as Kash Patel on SNL, and they went innnnn on him "I'm a trailblazer. I'm the first Indian person to suck at their job. Everyone says Indian people are smart, hardworking, incredibly intelligent. I prove without a shadow of a doubt that we can be just as incapable and incompetent as the whites."
