Political Brief: Ceasefire plan, Biden in France, contraception bill vote, new EO on the border?

Dear Friends,

I (Melissa) enjoyed this poem in The Atlantic yesterday from Kelsey Day.

it could’ve been an email,
or a knife gliding over the bruise of an apple,
a surgical sweetness.

it could’ve been a pebble,
a vagrant lullaby,
a slow walk through the neighborhood
when spring let loose
and buckled through the field,
throwing its head back.

delight will not ruin …
