Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation." RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

Makes me sick to my stomach.

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

Just a thought for @JoeBiden, @BarackObama, @BillClinton, and George Bush, but today would be a great day for all former living Presidents to go together to Minnesota and to help defend Democracy.

BREAKING: Maine Sheriff Kevin Joyce just slammed ICE for lying to the American people. Everyone needs to see this.

Rob Reiner spent decades defending democracy and fighting for equality - even when it wasn’t easy or popular. At a moment when silence is safer, his willingness to speak out is a reminder that protecting democracy requires courage. RETWEET to honor Reiner's legacy of justice ♥️

@BirdCentralPark Very handsome!❤️

Another look at the Evening Grosbeak seen in the woods north of the Central Park Pool. 🧡

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act. She made us proud to be Democrats, and will go down in history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had. Nancy, thank you for your leadership and your friendship. Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in this next chapter.

Paulette Jordan just won the Democratic primary for governor in Idaho. Meaning, she's now positioned to become the first female governor of Idaho--and the first Native American governor in the US. 💖dk💖

AOC in New York AT Mamdani rally: "This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping Holocaust, black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, native people standing for themselves."

🚨NEW: Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey, a 37-year Navy veteran, has abruptly announced he is resigning. This comes after Holsey reportedly raised concerns about Trump and Hegseth’s orders to conduct strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea. RETWEET if you stand with Admiral Holsey!

Sonny Rollins playing on the Williamsburg Bridge with tenor saxophonist, arranger, and educator Paul Jeffrey in 1968. By 1959, Sonny Rollins had grown increasingly dissatisfied with what he felt were his own musical shortcomings and withdrew from the public eye to embark on the first—and most storied—of his self-imposed sabbaticals. Residing on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, he sought refuge on the pedestrian walkway of the Williamsburg Bridge, where he could practice without disturbing a pregnant neighbor. From the summer of 1959 until the end of 1961, Rollins returned to the bridge almost daily, playing for as long as 15 or 16 hours at a stretch, through heat, wind, and snow, alongside the rumble of passing trains. Today, a fifteen-story apartment building named The Rollins stands on Grand Street, marking the site of his former home—a quiet monument to one of the most disciplined and transformative chapters in jazz history.

Listen as Special Counsel Jack Smith clearly outlines the differences between why Donald Trump was prosecuted for possessing classified documents and Joe Biden was not. FACTS matter people!

True story. 🤷

Former Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Trump is using the developed peace plan the Biden administration created for the Israel and Hamas war. "It’s good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden Administration developed."

🚨NEW: Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus is joining Jane Fonda in re-launching The Committee for the First Amendment, an organization founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism. RETWEET if you stand with @OfficialJLD for free speech!

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.

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment "My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant. And she's right. But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either. I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention. And you will vote—like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does. My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system. And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
