JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Dr Albert Sabin

On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world.

Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others.

Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Donald Trump didn't commemorate Jane Goodall's death with a tribute. But he did fling his feces.

Yet…there’s no clarification,explanation, proof, this administration is ALLOWING those immigrants to OBTAIN LEGAL CITIZENSHIP. All I see are people showing up, getting arrested, SLAMMED on the floor & DISAPPEARED! So EXACTLY who is getting citizenship BESIDES WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS? I’ll wait, Sir!

When did America become a place where people take joy in suffering?

Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified school children, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance - -

What happened to basic human decency ?

I think we know when this started happening.

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate.

His incompetence is staggering.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support. While dentists go through years of schooling to treat patients Annie is able to lower their blood pressure and reduce anxiety just by being there. 14/10 (TT: funny.bunny9215)
