Brilliant message from Anne
The 2026 midterm elections didn't just determine who controls Congress for the next two years—they also determine whether the United States, 250 years after its founding, remains a democracy, @anneapplebaum says. She explores what citizens and lawmakers can do next to strengthen the institutions and values that have been threatened in the Trump era.

Burt Lancaster was the first star to have his name added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After a 45-year acting career, his final film role was “Moonlight” Graham in Field of Dreams.
Ray Liotta’s “Hey, Rookie. You were good.” remains one of cinema’s most gut-punching moments.

How accurate was Carl Sagan’s 1995 prediction about America?
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.”

Get your flu shot now. Don’t wait until flu season is in full swing. And as we discussed this morning, know your options.
Also, consider keeping a few at-home COVID/flu combination tests on hand. Many are available online for under $10 and may be HSA/FSA eligible.

In 2016, at the age of 93, WWlI veteran Ernie Andrus inspired the nation by running nearly 3,000 miles coast-to-coast. The reason? To raise awareness for an unsung hero of the war — a ship he served on called an LST. Ernie died earlier this month at 103.

Notice what Talarico does. Personal history led to worldview led to motivation behind his politics (and implicit critique of where Dems went wrong). All in 2 minutes. Too often Dems skip right to plans / talking pts / attacking other side.
Joe Rogan: Why are you a Democrat?
@JamesTalarico: My mother met my birth father, who had a drinking problem that sometimes led to being violent. My mom decided right then and there that she was leaving. She found a little apartment in East Austin and worked double duty at a hotel to provide for us. She saw Texas Democrats like Ann Richards, people who fought for the little guy. That was the classic Democratic Party. I asked my mom what we were, and she was like, ‘We're Democrats, because Democrats fight for the people.’ Our historical legacy is the party that fights for the little guy. That's why I'm a Democrat.

Meet Jay Jones, the vigilante who's taking down recruitment scammers one fake job ad at a time. He's flagged nearly 60,000 postings and around 7,000 profiles, a Sisyphean effort that he hopes cleans up the internet, in some small way

The Bible says happy is the man who is content with their lot in life.
You’ve got your square on this earth. You’re only here for a short time.
Someone has more than you. Someone has less. Who really cares.
The simple things are what give the most pleasure: love, kindness, charity.
I have some material things now and I lived a good part of my life without them.
They’re convenient. They’re fun, but they’re not the thing.
That’s the most important thing to remember.
Enjoy your life. The simple things are the whole thing.
