Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

Today marks 30 years since Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, the queen of Tejano music, was killed at just 23 years old.
Like too many Americans, her life was cut tragically short by gun violence. We’ll always work to build a safer future in memory of all who should still be with us. #QEPD

RFK Jr. said he'd "clean up corruption" as HHS Secretary.
So why'd he have dinner with Big Pharma executives at Mar-a-Lago with Trump?
The American people deserve to know what kind of deals might have been made at those "million-dollar" dinners.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia.
Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.
