I’m sorry but the idea that LeBron would live in New York and take a helicopter to games in Philly is just frying me.

Gary Sinise@GarySinise·
Today I am in Washington DC for the celebration tonight at the US Capitol televised on PBS and tomorrow on CBS for America 250. I have the privilege of narrating content for both events.  At the moment, I am sitting in my hotel room looking out the window watching our amazing fighter pilots rehearsing their flyover for tomorrow’s 4th of July celebration. I have been on military bases all over the world and seen these jets many times before but experiencing them practicing in the skies over our nation's capital in preparation for our 250th birthday is something quite unique, and special.  We live in a great country. It’s been wonderful to see how folks from around the world who have traveled here for the World Cup are enjoying so many of the things that we are so used to here. We have so much to be thankful for, not the least of which are the men and women who defend our country and protect our cities. Those whose service and sacrifice must not be taken for granted. Where would we all be if no one wanted to serve?  Over the course of our 250-year history, many sacrifices have been made. Thousands and thousands of our fellow Americans are buried in 26 military cemeteries in foreign lands with many more here at home. Each day at the Gary Sinise Foundation we work diligently to serve and honor these sacrifices by supporting those on active duty, those who have served, and the families that serve with them and have sacrificed alongside them.  I have met many over the years and they inspire me each day with their triumphant spirits. America is an evolving idea created by those who chose to fight for independence and freedom against a tyranny. We have inherited that idea, and while there certainly have been many extremely challenging moments in our history, there have been many triumphant ones to celebrate. In this new video of a song called Triumphant, written by my son Mac Sinise and his pal Oliver Schnee, we include a few triumphant shining moments in celebration of America’s 250th Birthday. Please enjoy: bit.ly/4gSAuL4

@historyinmemes What's important here is how many of you have went nuclear on what bloodthirsty savages the Aztec were. And how much greater Europe was, and how they were defeated by a couple hundred mercenaries. And yet you elected a shit show con artist as leader. Fuckin geniuses.

Long before Mexico City existed, the magnificent city of Tenochtitlan ruled the Valley of Mexico. I think one of the greatest moments in history to witness would be the height of Tenochtitlan in the early 1500s, before Hernán Cortés and the Spanish conquistadors conquered and destroyed the city. Seeing one of the world’s most remarkable urban centers at its peak would be an unforgettable experience. When the Spanish first arrived in 1519, Tenochtitlan was among the largest cities on Earth, with an estimated population of 200,000 to 300,000—larger than most European capitals of the era. Built on an island in Lake Texcoco, it was connected to the mainland by three massive causeways equipped with removable bridges for defense. A network of canals ran throughout the city, allowing canoes to transport people and goods so efficiently that Europeans often compared it to the “Venice of the Americas.” At the heart of the city stood the Templo Mayor, an enormous twin-temple pyramid dedicated to the gods Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc. Surrounding it were palaces, government buildings, temples, and bustling plazas. Nearby, the Great Market of Tlatelolco drew thousands of merchants each day, offering everything from food and pottery to textiles, jewelry, and luxury goods from across Mesoamerica. The Aztecs also demonstrated extraordinary engineering and agricultural innovation. They expanded farmland using chinampas—highly productive artificial farming plots built in shallow lake waters—while aqueducts supplied the city with fresh water from nearby springs. Carefully planned neighborhoods organized by occupation and social status completed a city that combined sophisticated engineering, architecture, and urban planning, making Tenochtitlan one of the greatest achievements of the pre-Columbian world.

Like millions of Canadians, my ancestors left Ireland in the shadow of the famine. They carried hope across the Atlantic and helped build the Canada we know today. To return to Mayo, and receive a welcome such as this, is a testament to the life they built for their children — and to the indomitable spirit of the Irish, everywhere — whose pride in their heritage is unbroken by distance and time.

I worked at CBS News for almost 6 years. It was a place that frequently drove me crazy bc of how resistant it was to change. How difficult it was to get things done bc you had to fight so many people and their “Cronkite and Murrow would roll over in their graves if they saw” mentality. For those who think Scott Pelley was part of the problem, you are wrong. Yes he could be rigid and a stickler for certain traditions. But I will tell you now the Gen Z people I worked w all loved him. Like me, they forgave a lot of his boomer ways bc we were in awe of investigations he did using hidden cameras exposing snake oil salesmen hurting Americans; showing us how Assad was using chemical weapons on his own people; the pain of rural Americans waiting for half a day to get affordable healthcare in a parking lot of a mobile clinic; his searing interviews w survivors of mass shootings. Yeah he was old fashioned in some ways. I used to tease him bc he always had trouble pronouncing Beyoncé’s name. But he was willing to be pushed. He was open to new ideas. The fact that someone like me and someone like him got along so well is proof of that. The guy made me a better thinker and a better journalist.

Stephen Colbert has a talent for making people laugh and encouraging them to stay curious, stay engaged, and stay hopeful about the world around them. @StephenAtHome: Thank you for your voice, your creativity, and so many memorable conversations over the years. Cheers to you.
