One day. Couldn’t we just get one damn day of peace, free from this bs.
Trump on Christmas: “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria.”

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.

Sarah always makes you think. Lots of great info here.
When I say "the US gave up on feeding itself" that's what I mean, it's real bad.

At the risk of shameless self-promo, I talked about this a few months ago. It's a part of the food/ag problem that just isn't making it onto the news & it really should.

"Trump likes to present himself as the reckoning for decades of elite failures, but he’s in for a reckoning of his own." Excellent piece, well written.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

as the hosts hint that they would like to be invited to watch the movie at the white house, one asks "is there a movie theater in the white house?"

no, dumbass, there is not. It was in the east wing.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Great to join local leaders to celebrate the expansion of Aurora’s MLK Library!

Every family in Aurora deserves access to tools that’ll help them get ahead. That’s what this library is delivering & it’s why I fought to secure the federal investment that made the renovation possible.
