On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."
I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation.
George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

As a Michigan State graduate, I view any hire for a highly public leadership position to be symbolic of the direction of the University.
Considering recent history, hiring someone who at best was unaware of a hazing scandal under his leadership makes Pat Fitzgerald a tone deaf and unqualified hire.

He explains why it only serves the aggressor state, arguing that it should be rejected in favor of a more fair proposal that is in line with international law🧵

Ukrainians truly need this right now — even if as a sign of solidarity. And constant, stubborn solidarity goes a long way.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Today marks seven years since John McCain’s passing, a loss not only for Arizona but for our nation. John defined service, always put country over party, and was exactly the kind of leader we need more of in Washington these days. He is missed.
