“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” – A. A. Milne
As we mark the 100th anniversary of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh stories, The Queen has presented a very special gift to the New York Public Library, reuniting baby Roo with his friends from the 100 Acre Wood.
The Library is home to the original collection of toys owned by Christopher Robin Milne, son of A.A. Milne, which inspired the characters in the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series. The collection is missing Roo, the baby kangaroo who was lost in an orchard in the 1930s.
The new addition of Roo was created by Shropshire-based company Merrythought, who also created the original toys.
👀 Watch Roo’s great adventure travelling from Buckingham Palace onboard Their Majesties’ flight to his new home in New York.

@EWErickson Omg. The last thing we need is a bigger Congress and a bigger federal government. No thank you.

I think, at a minimum, the House should expand to 1000 members in 2030, but it'd be better to have way more than that.
Chuck Todd@chucktodd
There really is only one way to improve representation for all Americans in Congress: UNCAP THE HOUSE! It’s what the founders intended; they did NOT want to see Congressional Districts that were bigger than most major cities. Want to dilute the influence of courts and partisans, UNCAP THE HOUSE!

What happened in Buffalo this evening when the singer’s mic fritzed out during the Canadian National Anthem.

@GeraldoRivera Perspective please- A ballroom for Washington elites won't protect average Americans from violence in schools, churches, malls, etc. I'm grateful that law enforcement, and the strategy they had in place, worked to protect everyone but US violence won't be solved by WH ballroom.
English
Build the Ballroom. I felt I was watching Designated Survivor. Virtually the entire line of presidential succession was in that lame Hilton space. Way too freaky dangerous.
Build the Ballroom.

@ScottJenningsKY My understanding is that DHS has received temporary funding while a more long term funding agreement is reached. Everyone is getting paid and, thankfully, doing their jobs while Congress fiddles (and also gets paid).
English
I've been on the air live twice now when someone has tried to kill the President. I worry about President Trump every day. I worry about these events.
The fact that DHS has been unfunded for 70 days in this environment is outrageous. Every American should be outraged by it.

@MaxLewisTV @charlesharriso5 Republicans cried foul when Dems tried to this in other states. Mid-census redistricting is an effort by politicians for politicians. Power play that does nothing to lower bills, provide services, keep us safe. Nothing.
English
Democrats cried foul when Republicans tried to do this in Indiana.
Interested to see how they justify this.

Virginia voters approve redistricting plan that could boost Democrats’ seats in Congress apnews.com/article/virgin…

@GuntherEagleman Redistricting: a bill for and by DC politicians. No thanks.
English
On December 11th 2025, the spineless Indiana GOP fcked us and voted 31-19 against redistricting.
Never forget.
English
@LangmanVince You should come here. We are actually very sensible people. But GOP and Dems should keep fighting for an effort that is for and by the DC politicians and see how that works out.
English
Are the any bigger cowards on planet Earth than Indiana Republicans?

What’s funny about all this gerrymandering talk is that we’re fighting over which party controls a legislative branch that doesn’t actually legislate anymore.

"I’ve been seeing a lot of conflicting opinions on this lately, and I’m curious where you all stand: Is it actually appropriate for a priest to drink beer in public?
English
@JohnFeehery It's complicated. 1. Voters on both sides of the aisle don't like mid-census redistricting. 2. You can't be for it when it helps you, against it when it doesn't. Voters see through this. 3. Independents matter. They call the shots between winners and loses. They don't like it.
English
No shit. I have talking about this for 2 months
Jake Sherman@JakeSherman
There are a lot of Republicans in Washington tonight wondering why national GOP political organizations didnt spend more aggressively in Virginia.
English
@jpodhoretz @AriFleischer The big problem here for both parties: this is a political exercise to help politicians. Redistricting does not help a single American with any of the problems they are worried about. In case you were wondering.
English
I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Previous fights involved census apportionment, in NC and NY--maps were aggressive and courts got involved. Texas introduced Calvinball.
Guy Benson@guypbenson
Indeed, the “Texas started it” premise is incorrect (plus CA already answered). NY Dems went before TX (see below), to say nothing of the wild existing Dem gerrymanders in places like IL & MD. And to say nothing of admitted 2020 Census miscounts robbing red states of 6-10 seats.
English
@ScottJenningsKY @CNN Indiana got it right. Mid-census redistricting is wrong when Republicans do it and wrong when Democrats do it.
English
The VA gerrymander narrowly passed last night. I’m not surprised - the Yes Campaign had all the money and all the lies. My take on @cnn
English
@EWErickson Indiana is the only state that has shown any common sense on this at all. Everyone else, on both sides of the aisle, have it wrong.
English
Just so you get the truth and not the partisan spin here, Republicans came up with the idea of the mid-decade redistricting fight and started in Texas. Then, in Virginia, the RNC spent $0.00 to fight. Now, as drawn, the Democrats have an advantage from the redistricting fight.
English
Tonight is a good night to repeat what I said last August when Texas started this mid-cycle redistricting chain reaction.
Politics has to be more than a power grab. By either party. There have to be rules that everyone follows. Otherwise, it’s all about power and pretty soon there won’t be much left that holds our nation together.
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
I want to win 5 more seats in the House. But mid-census change in Texas is not the way to do it. Even politics must have rules. Gerrymandering should be done once every ten years - by all states. Otherwise, there are no rules and it’s the equivalent of all- out, political wars all the time - simply to gain power. No state should gerrymander until 2032, including Texas. It’s fair to everyone this way. Even politics should be conducted in a fair manner.
English
@AttyAbdul Wrong when Dems do it. Wrong when GOP does it. At least I'm consistent 😂
