“I worry that we’ll go from one very narrow definition of what it means to be a kind of ‘dependable dad,’ which is ‘I can depend on you to be the breadwinner,’ to another definition, which is a fully fledged, paid-up gender-egalitarian feminist,” me to @SimoneFoxman: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R): "I think we need more moral clarity right now. I hear all the time that words are violence. Words are not violence; violence is violence. And there is one person responsible for what happened here. And that person is now in custody."

💔 Our hearts are broken. Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky — two young Israeli embassy staffers and cherished members of the AJC community — were murdered while leaving an AJC event in Washington, D.C., last night. They were stolen from us. They had their entire lives ahead of them. Sarah, an American from Overland Park, Kansas, was warm and compassionate, committed to peacebuilding, and passionate about sustainability and people-to-people relations. Yaron always had a smile on his face and a welcoming presence. He had reportedly bought a ring and was planning to ask Sarah to marry him in Jerusalem next week. Words cannot adequately express our sorrow. We mourn with Sarah and Yaron’s families, their friends, and all who loved them. May their memories be a blessing.

A new executive order singles out Susman Godfrey for representing Dominion Voting Systems. This isn't just retaliation — it's a warning: represent a client or cause the president dislikes, and you'll be the next target. It's unconstitutional and a threat to the rule of law.
Trump has signed an executive order targeting Susman Godfrey, the law firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems obtain its $787 million settlement from Fox for the network's 2020 election lies.
