Somewhere in the United States someone who invested their life savings into an inflatable frog costume business to the dismay of everyone that knew them is having the best week of their life and handing I Told You Sos to those who doubted them.

In his final address in 1989, Reagan delivered a powerful message on the importance of immigrants. He said "Unique among nations, we draw our people, our strength from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so, we continuously renew and enrich our nation"🗽

It has to be said - again and out loud - that it’s Republicans in Congress who’ve unshackled him.

I went to Purdue, my mom and sister to IU, so we know the rivalry firsthand. My years at Purdue weren't all that memorable, but I do remember the Exponent as a respectable student newspaper. Good for them!

Democracy dies in silence.

…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.

Not today.

MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.

Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.

It’s a beautiful sight.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

The opening of Benjamin Franklin's Will. The land in Nova Scotia was essentially worthless.

To my son, William Franklin, late Governor of the Jerseys, I give and devise all the lands I hold or have a right to, in the province of Nova Scotia, to hold to him, his heirs, and assigns forever. I also give to him all my books and papers, which he has in his possession, and all debts standing against him on my account books, willing that no payment for, nor restitution of, the same be required of him, by my executors. The part he acted against me in the late war, which is of public notoriety, will account for my leaving him no more of an estate he endeavoured to deprive me of.
