When 11-year old Ahmir Jolliff was murdered on the first day of sixth grade Trump said, "it’s just horrible... but we have to get over it. We have to move forward." So fuck him and his stupid ballroom. Let's get over it.

Let me make something clear to the "Dana Bashes" out there, saying that Democrats need to turn down the temperature: FUCK YOU. The example gets set at the top. So, when he tweets that he's glad that Robert Mueller died, When he calls Democrats a threat to democracy... When he accuses Democrats of cheating without evidence... Who exactly is calling on HIM to turn down the temperature? Last time I checked, the people with a large platform that he listens to is THE MEDIA. So, do YOUR job, Dana. Hold power accountable. After all, we're not the ones threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

I just can’t imagine wanting an entire secure ballroom for one man and not wanting gun reform for every child in America.

So last night was all about getting his damn Ballroom! Why did Karoline Leavitt’s husband tell Fox News to stay safe right before the shots were fired and why did Karoline talked about shots being fired in a pre interview! Why did SS move J.D Vance and leave Trump on stage.FAKE

🚨WTF: CNN’s Dana Bash humiliates herself on live TV insinuating to Jamie Raskin that Democrats are to blame for political violence for “heated rhetoric” like saying Trump “is terrible for this country.” Completely delusional and embarrassing.

Spread this photo far and wide - because the media isn't doing its job in telling the story about an increasingly unhinged president who is unfit to serve. #25thAmendmentNOW

Jimmy Kimmel says there will be no comedians at the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight. "Our president is a delicate snowflake with the thinnest fat skin of any human being ever." Drop a 👍 and Repost if you agree with Jimmy!

By Season 4 of The Sopranos, Gandolfini was earning $400,000 per episode. HBO wanted Season 5 on the fast track, and the offer was staggering: roughly $1 million per episode across 13 episodes. Agents celebrated. Lawyers drafted. But something stopped him cold. His co-stars were earning a fraction of what he made. Edie Falco, the woman who carried every scene as Carmela Soprano, wasn't close. The supporting cast earned even less. Gandolfini looked at his contract and saw something executives didn't want him to see — a gap that felt deeply unfair. So he did something that shocked Hollywood. He walked away. Production stalled in early 2003. HBO filed a lawsuit seeking around $100 million in damages. Headlines called him difficult. Columnists called him unstable. "They think I'm a wild animal," he reportedly told a friend that spring. The easy move would have been to sign, cash the check, and disappear into Tony Soprano's shadow — the character who made him a household name and quietly trapped him inside it. Instead, Gandolfini made a different choice. He eventually returned to the negotiating table and signed the deal. But what he did next became legend. Gandolfini reached into his own pocket and personally gave approximately $33,000 to each of 16 supporting cast members — roughly $500,000 of his own money — as a thank-you for standing by him during the shutdown. No press release. No cameras. No announcement. Just quiet envelopes handed out privately. Crew members remembered other moments too. Gandolfini would show up early at Silvercup Studios in Queens, sit in a folding chair, chain-smoke, and ask grips and lighting technicians about their kids by name. He remembered birthdays. He remembered losses. When a crew member's family member fell ill, he quietly helped with expenses. When writers pulled all-nighters rewriting scenes, he fought to protect their words on screen. The turning point wasn't the signing. It was the pause — the refusal that cost him his reputation, invited a massive lawsuit, and risked killing the biggest show on television. He bet everything on a principle most people would have quietly swallowed. Season 5 aired in 2004. Ratings climbed. Awards followed. Critics called it one of the greatest seasons of television ever made. But behind the numbers was a quieter truth: James Gandolfini used his leverage not just to lift himself — but to lift everyone standing beside him. He played a man who ruled through fear on screen. Off screen, he led through loyalty. When he died suddenly in 2013 at age 51, cast and crew members told the same stories over and over — not about his Emmy wins or his iconic performance, but about the envelopes, the folding chair, the questions about their kids. A legacy built not on what he earned, but on what he shared. Power doesn't always roar. Sometimes it whispers through a quiet envelope, handed over with no cameras watching.
