"William J. 'Bill' Martin, director of the @Valentine museum, dies after being hit by car"
Bill Martin was a Richmond treasure. His institutional memory of our city and his passion for telling stories is irreplaceable. We owe him a great debt.

This part is just so heartbreaking:
“For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry. Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”

In a devastating essay, Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, reveals that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia just hours after she gave birth to her daughter, and that she has less than a year to live. Schlossberg is just 35 years old.

I do enjoy getting all the DM's from X experts about why Adelita Grijalva D-AZ can't get sworn in during a government shutdown.
But on Jan. 3, 2019, the entire House was sworn into office during a government shutdown. That was the start of the 116th Congress.

Yeah, this should get a Pulitzer. It's going to be an all-time classic.

Rare is the perfect photograph, a photograph that is both literal and metaphor, a photograph that fills the void where a person should be.

Today marks SIX WEEKS since I was elected by the voters of AZ-07.
For six weeks, @SpeakerJohnson has denied them their voice in Congress.
That's not leadership. That's obstruction.

The White House just fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency that was expected to review some of Trump's construction projects, including his planned arch in Washington. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Adelita Grijalva won her congressional election by nearly 40 points more than a month ago.
Outrageously, she has not yet been seated by Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
If they cannot seat Adelita, how can we trust them to accept the results of the 2026 elections?

This is correct.
They are not anonymous donors. They are secret donors. And secret donors almost always want something in return.
Secrets and Laws@secretsandlaws
Stop calling them "anonymous" donations (for the ballroom and military pay). The donors are fully known to the government. The Trump Administration is just letting the donors hide their identity from the American people. I can't think of any non-corrupt reasons to allow this.

Virginia is not party to the lawsuit filed by states against the Trump Administration seeking the release of SNAP funding.
Jason Miyares sides with Trump against Virginians, again.

Speaker Johnson “deeply regrets” that millions of Americans will lose SNAP benefits this week, but 3 months ago, he signed a bill with $186 billion in cuts to SNAP. You can’t make it make sense.
Meredith Lee Hill@meredithllee
NEWS: Speaker Johnson told House Rs on a private call shutdown's "pain register is about to hit level 10" - and it could force Dems to cave, per sources “Sadly," 42 million Americans will get hit when SNAP food aid runs out Nov. 1, he said. “We deeply regret it on our side." politico.com/live-updates/2…

Once again, there is no reason for the House to be out of session.
The House does not break during shutdown.
This is one of the longest unscheduled House breaks of all time, with no justification.

And... there it is Announcement is made: US House will be out of session again next week

I have a new essay in the New Republic. I used to see things as left versus right. Now I worry about the money at the top. And while it may sound strange, I think this is a hopeful way of looking at the world that opens the door to coalitions that seemed impossible before

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity.

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.
