"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Swear her in.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

S: Those are quotes

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself.

Why are they unable to sell the harvest, Senator?

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I miss the days when Obama could just post his summer playlist instead of dire warnings.

@commaficionado Why did we bother educating everyone for the last 75 years about nazism and fascism if the next time it appears so many of us look it squarely in the face and decide it can't possibly be what it obviously is.

Reminder: While autism diagnoses have indeed exploded over the years as we’ve dramatically expanded the parameters for diagnosis and educated professionals on what to look for, rates of Tylenol consumption during pregnancy hasn’t changed. Science doesn’t lie; people do.

The Political Scene | The New Yorker The Washington Roundtable is joined by the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Keren Yarhi-Milo, the dean of the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, to discuss...

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Wow.

Not at all surprising, but wow.

Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying.
