I needed that. Thank you.

Ken Burns' 'American Revolution' will make you think differently about U.S. history Burns' six-part documentary uses voiceover, reenactors and drone footage to tell the story of America's founding. And it reminds viewers that the quest for a more perfect union is far from over.

My Father’s Flag and the Idea of America Over decades, across continents, and through harrowing experiences, my family held on to this bit of cloth as a reminder of everything they believed in—and were running toward.

"My father fled to California six years later to become an American citizen. Why America? Because he sensed that Americans believed not only in 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' but also in due process and in the law itself." www.thebulwark.com/p/my-fathers...

In the Village rally, there were Olds, teenagers, and families. Local police had visible, unobstructive presence. Chanting, cheering the honking cars passing by, and American flags waving. Hundreds of us. Suburban Chicago strong!

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

The school food program costs almost half as much as bailing out Argentina, so Republicans why are our children going to suffer food program cuts?

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla.

Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

They had no right to impede the U.S. Senator.
I’m guessing these clowns violated state law with regard to assault.
Anyone that laid hand on the Senator should be brought to justice.
And the faces of these thugs should be known.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

He’s whoring out American citizenship…

While performing official oversight duties, a Democratic senator was violently tackled and handcuffed by federal agents because he dared to ask a question.

This isn’t law enforcement. This is occupation. 🧵

Good trouble, Madam.

@kenlburns.bsky.social Please consider doing a documentary on Pope Leo XIV.

Thanks for belly laugh!

“These cuts are killing Veterans. Veterans will die.” – MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, at yesterday's SVAC shadow hearing

He even offered to advise DOGE. They ignored him.

Now they’re gutting care and shutting Veterans out.

It’s a knife in the back of everyone who ever wore the uniform.

Today hogging air time and attention to distract from the heavy election losses yesterday. Usual play book.

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Nothing but low life common thieves.

Watching at your 6 hour mark to hopefully give you support to keep you going. Much love, Senator.

🔥Rufus Gifford, former U.S. amb. to Denmark, unloaded on JD Vance for saying Denmark “is not a good ally”:

Go to Denmark and say it to the faces of the parents of the young men and women who lost their lives alongside U.S. troops. Say it to them!

Jeffrey Goldberg is the model for responsible journalism. And to me, a true patriot.

Last night watched Roberta’s American Masters documentary on PBS. Her beautiful voice is with me now. RIP Queen.
