21 years ago today, "In God We Trust" aired on TV and Arnold Vinick gave one of the greatest speeches about politics and religion. Wonderful performance by Alan Alda

Just renewed his security contract for another two years. The negotiations got ugly.

@EliMcCann King Louie!

It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired. CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.” In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump. But censorship always backfires. Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

I’ve never wanted to hug a stranger so bad before. USA’s Maxim Naumov competed in his first Olympics 1 year after losing both parents in the DC plane crash. He fell twice in his men’s final skate, but most people wouldn’t even be there in those circumstances. I hope he’s proud 🥹

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Trump is a liar and an idiot

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Barack Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow. Those were the days we want back.

My calendar for the remainder of the year

@EliMcCann But then how will I know if I get to go back to bed when I see my shadow on my birthday or if I have to go into work?

In light of everything going on in the world, it might be time to just sunset Groundhog Day.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists. It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not. Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on. Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

Some of you need to be visited by the ghost of quit emailing me so much before Christmas

How this vile, disgusting, and immoral behavior has become normalized in the United States is something our descendants will study in school, to the shame of our generation.

“The streets of Heaven are too crowded with Angels tonight. They're our students and our teachers and our parents and our friends.”

Happy Thanksgiving!! 🍁🦃

@EliMcCann HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING LOUIE!

It was his fourth birthday yesterday, and he's wondering why he hasn't heard from any of you.

I have a question for all Republican politicians with a shred of dignity: Are you proud of the fact that embracing Donald Trump has poisoned the character of your children? Just look at what you’ve become. An entire generation of Republicans are literal fucking Nazis.
