Brave Hungarians show what it takes to stand up to authoritarianism and stand for dignity and democracy. Congratulations to Hungary and its extraordinary people.

They're halfway home. The Artemis II astronauts have hit the "halfway" mark between the Moon and the Earth. They will splash down in the Pacific Ocean around 8:07 pm ET on Friday, April 10 (0007 UTC on Saturday, April 11), off the coast of San Diego.

A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth. This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.

Nominal translunar injection burn complete. The Artemis II crew is officially on the way to the Moon. America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon. This time, farther than ever before.

So impressed that @cnn has stuck with coverage of Artemis II, giving it the attention it deserves as a major milestone in human history. Compelling television that is about courageous people taking risks on behalf of all of us instead of those trying to divide us.

We are going! With Artemis II's launch, we've taken another step toward a long-term presence on the Moon. Here's a recap of the historic mission so far – and a preview of what's to come. Follow along as four astronauts continue their journey around the Moon and back: nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/

Action. Wonder. Adventure. Artemis II has got it all. Don't miss the moment. Our crewed Moon mission will launch as early as April 1. Learn how to watch: nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/

The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel. The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK8T…

Antisemitic hate crimes made up 57% of reported hate crimes in NYC last year but Jewish people make up only 10% of the population. @SpeakerMenin's bill is needed and would ensure safe access to synagogues, schools, and other houses of worship while protecting peaceful protest.

this was the most important Oscar speech of the night tbh "Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity: when we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Tonight, we’re thinking of the children whose lives were stolen by gun violence—and the empty rooms, empty seats, and empty futures they left behind. Congratulations to the team behind All the Empty Rooms on your #Oscar win. Thank you for honoring these young lives with such care and humanity, and for reminding the world why their stories must never be forgotten.

BREAKING | NBC News: A man previously convicted of providing material support to ISIS, Mohammad Jalloh, and recently released from prison has been identified as the shooter at Old Dominion earlier today, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter say.

Praying for Michigan’s Jewish community and grateful for the quick work of first responders and law enforcement during today’s attack. While we wait for more information, one thing is clear: antisemitism anywhere must be confronted and stopped.

.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes. The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%. Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians

Thank you to the law enforcement officers who run toward danger to keep others safe. This @NYPDnews officer, and so many like him, are true heroes. “These men allegedly sought to inflict mass casualties in service to ISIS with the hope of exceeding the carnage of the Boston Marathon bombing. We are tremendously grateful to the brave law enforcement officers who ran into harm’s way to apprehend these individuals and disarm the explosives before anyone was harmed.” - @DAGToddBlanche
