A major new study published today by a panel of Democrats and Republicans ranks states by quality of life. The states at the top aren't the richest, and they don't have the highest tax rates -- although they do seem to do an unusually good job executing policy and sharing the wealth that they create. Often they have opposition parties strong enough to keep ruling parties nervous and effective.
To see which state ranks No. 1 and how your state ranks (slight tease!), here's a gift link: nytimes.com/2026/06/06/opini…

Ant Edwards. President Barack Obama.
It began at Team USA Training camp and turned into a game of one-on-one we didn’t know we needed.

Trump posting this video — especially during Black History Month— is a stark reminder of how Trump and his followers truly view people. And we’ll remember that in November.

Folks, this election is no longer about policy - it's about our national identity, about who we are. The President depicting the Obamas as monkeys, a Florida gubernatorial candidate unleashing antisemitism and cheered for it, another peddling Islamophobia, ICE agents detaining a 5 year old in bunny ears and a Spiderman backpack, the whitewashing of credible allegations in the Epstein files of pedophilia and rape. All of it now routinely enabled and given equity in the public square. It's vile.
We're holding a mirror up to ourselves right now. Forget about policy - this is about who we are as a people, and its terrifying what the answer most days seems to be.
One of the fundamental tenets of our campaign for Florida Governor is that everyone's rights should be protected and their dignity celebrated - their dignity celebrated - regardless of the color of their skin, where they were born, who they love, or who they worship.
Whether you believe in the teachings of a faith that declares we are all made in God's image or whether you embrace Jefferson's declaration of the natural rights of man, this is what we are litigating right now in America.
We will never make America great again if we don't first make America good again. Please consider doing your part to make us good again. May we all commit to at least that this November.

Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement:
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

The thing about Minnesotans is that you will not outlast them in the cold. You will not out-stubborn them when they know they're right. They will never give ICE what it wants. They will never give Trump what he wants. And they also quietly hold grudges like a motherfucker.

Politics aside, this is the saddest most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop thinking about it. If a friend or family member willingly took a trophy, award or honor achieved by someone else, you’d stage an intervention.

This is the second video I’ve seen THIS MORNING by a US Citizen detained by ICE for 8-10 hours here in MN. He’s a local realtor who creates real estate content on TikTok w 11K followers. He is an exceedingly credible source. #iceout

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

The Biden administration working with social media companies to throttle what they considered COVID misinformation might or might not have been legally principled, but it did at least pretend to have a substantive moral argument that was something like, "We don't want people to die and we're willing to take drastic steps to block information we believe might lead to their death."
The moral argument for the FCC and president going around telling media companies to fire their progressive talent or else risk the wrath of the state seems to be "we believe we were treated unfairly, and now we have power, so suck it, losers," which I understand as an emotional reaction, but it really does seem notable that I haven't heard anybody even pretend that there's a deeper principle at stake here.
I asked FCC chair @BrendanCarrFCC if he had any new comment now that ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show, and he sent me this GIF

I'll say it again:
In my opinion, when companies or institutions cave to Trump despite the law being on their side, they are not misunderstanding the law; they are making educated guesses that the U.S. is heading in a direction where, in practice, the law won't matter.

Republican lawmakers showed more outrage and took more action over Cracker Barrel’s logo than dead and wounded children inside a Minneapolis school.

Cheryl Reeve on the school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School
“It’s such an indictment of our society, our lack of regard for life. There are things that we can do about it, and we don’t, but for some reason as Americans we value something different. It’s sickening, it’s sad for the kids, it’s sad for the kids that have to grow up like this. It’s sad for the kids to walk through the door and not know what’s going to happen. So hearts go out to the lives lost, kids that are hurt, teachers that have to go through this, families that drop their kids off at schools and don’t have their kid come home. Hearts go out to them. The sad thing is we can’t sit here and tell them that help is on the way, because we’re not going to do a damn thing about it”
