Thank you. I'm doing an Improv show tonight which is also exciting. Happy Friday!

I "finished" my first script which makes me proud, happy and excited. Over the years I've started some many writings that it means a lot to be where I am with this script. Onward...

Congrats! I recently completed my first screenplay and understand the prideful feeling.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

This priest has advocated for LGBTQ Catholics. Here's what he thinks of the conclave Pope Francis worked to make the Catholic Church more open to the LGBTQ community. NPR's Scott Detrow speaks with the Rev. James Martin about what direction the new pontiff could take the church.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.

They graded it.

Bwahahaha.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

Damn...

Elon Musk tried to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court. He lost. Susan Crawford's victory means liberals will preserve their majority on the court.

In the first major statewide election since Trump’s return, oligarchy lost and democracy won. Progressive candidate Susan Crawford handily defeated Musk-backed candidate Brad Schimel to preserve the liberal majority on the Wisconsin high court through at least 2028.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Sen. Cory Booker putting his hand over his heart as he beats Strom Thurmond's floor address record

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful.

Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Way to go Wisconsin! ✊🇺🇸💚

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

If any of these are your representatives, urge them to divest from Tesla: Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.), and Dwight Evans (D-Pa.).

Gotta love Beto! ❤️✨

RIP to the U.S. Institute of Peace — nearly all staff members have been fired.

This is only the beginning, I fear. I just hope the reporting of these detainments continue to be reported on by the media. This has to stop.

A Pentagon-wide email recently went out warning about Signal's vulnerability A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.
