Sen. Kennedy says he has “a lot” of questions about Trump’s $1.8B “anti-weaponization” fund:
“I need to know where the money is going to come from. I need to know who would qualify. I need to know the definition of weaponization. I need to know who's been weaponized against?”

“Good morning. It’s Sunday. Some people take offense when woken up by a cold nose. But that’s the wrong way to think about it. The cold nose is just the tip of a warm heart. Also, I love you.”
I was on a late evening flight, already exhausted, window seat, headphones in, mentally unavailable for any form of human interaction.
A guy shows up to my row, looks at me, then at his ticket, then back at me like I’m the plot twist.
“Hey… would you mind switching? My seat’s just a few rows back.”
I already knew “just a few rows back” was code for worse in every possible way.
I ask, “Window?”
He hesitates. That hesitation told me everything.
“…middle.”
Oh.
I smiled the kind of smile that already says no.
“I think I’ll stay here.”
He nods, but then hits me with, “It’s just that I don’t really like flying, and I was hoping to sit closer to the front.”
Sir. None of us like flying. We tolerate it.
I gesture gently, “I get that, but I specifically picked this seat.”
He lingers for a second like maybe I’ll suddenly discover generosity mid-conversation.
I do not.
He sighs, does that little disappointed head shake, and walks back.
I think it’s over.
It is not.
Which restaurant serves the best free bread in America? @caityweaver embarked on a quest to find out. theatln.tc/3jDfDKNA
Weaver surveyed more than 500 people; traveled more than 13,000 miles; drank more Diet Coke than she thought possible; scoured the country—from a three-Michelin-starred fine-dining destination in Las Vegas to a lodge in the backwoods of Tennessee—all to find the best free bread.
In The Atlantic’s May cover story, read about Weaver’s quest—and find her pick for the best loaf in America.

This is what it looks like when you sell your soul for ambition as the realization sets in that you boarded a sinking ship that is taking you down with it.
here's how the "earth" article looked in 2001 when wikipedia was 3 weeks old, long before anyone realized that astronauts would someday edit the site from space
