Belva Davis, West Coast Trailblazer in TV News, Dies at 92

"In 1964, while reporting from the Republican National Convention just south of San Francisco, Ms. Davis and a Black male reporter were hounded from the hall by fans of the nominee, Barry Goldwater. The crowd snarled racial epithets and tossed garbage at them..."

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, a former girlfriend and associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison term.

A jury in Manhattan federal court convicted Maxwell in 2021 on charges that included sex trafficking a teenage girl.

What Americans think about military aid to Ukraine | YouGov What Americans think about military aid to Ukraine

the majority of Americans stand with Ukraine. The newest polls show Americans in general believe we should increase aid again (especially Democrats).
This war against Ukraine should have never started and it's heartbreaking. Take good care 💙💛Slava Ukraini💙💛

Black art is revolutionary because we live in a society that seeks to keep us so busy we can't reflect and produce art.

Judge's house on fire

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

wrote this line yesterday:

"If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

Tells you everything you need to know about who is fighting for you.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power.

But health care is a human right.

And in America, we have no kings.

Jane Goodall holding a sign that says “Vote for Nature!” in a group shot

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way.

I'll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.

Congress needs to get back to work: to reopen the government, protect health care, and stop health care costs from skyrocketing.

Instead, Republicans and Speaker Johnson just cancelled work next week. Shutdowns are serious with working people paying the price.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

The Trump Admin is using the government shutdown to cancel energy funding so that your utility bills go up.

A Trump shutdown completely meant to enrich Billionaires! All at your expense.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Fact Check: Mike Johnson’s Biggest Lies About Health Care and Undocumented Immigrants — Rolling Stone The Republican speaker continues to push the false narrative that Democrats are responsible for shutting down the government because they want to fund health care for undocumented people

Mike Johnson’s been lying through his teeth again about health care and undocumented immigrants. The fact-checkers tore it apart: no, Democrats didn’t “shut down the government to fund illegal immigrants.” Another GOP scare story built on lies!
