I’m an animal lover and a cat mom of my rescued ex strayed cat “CHACHA”. I used to have 3 more cats. 2 of them both passed away in 2020 and my very special cat died in July 2024. World Peace is my forever wish and hope I can contribute more💕

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Media giants accused of ‘cowering to threats’ as Trump tries to stamp out criticism
Disney’s Bob Iger and Paramount’s David Ellison are among the executives pulling the strings amid criticism that US TV networks are caving to the Trump administration

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
