To Hegseth and the MAGAs who have persistently denigrated female service members, this woman’s calm professionalism after the stressful event of ejecting from a jet traveling 600 mph proves their ignorance. What a champ.

Harrison Ford was in tears during his super emotional Lifetime Achievement Award speech. This was so good

"Sometimes we make entertainment. Sometimes we make art. Sometimes, if we're lucky, we make 'em both at the same time. And if we're really fortunate, we also get to make a living doing it. Success in this business brings a certain freedom that comes with responsibility to support each other, to lift others up when we can. To keep the door open for the next kid, the next lost boy who's looking for a place to belong. I'm, indeed, a lucky guy. Lucky to have found my people. Lucky to have work that challenges me. Lucky to still be doing it. And I don't take that for granted."

MICHIGAN — SHERIFF SWANSON (a candidate for governor): “A tragic but predictable event. I saw the same video you saw. When you have masked federal agents with no markings on the vehicle… This is what breaks down the trust of law enforcement across the board.”

REPORTER: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted and it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

REPORTER: Actually, your DOJ IG just reported that there was thorough vetting of Afghans who were brought into the US. So why do you blame Biden?

TRUMP: Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person? You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

You may have seen Pete Hegseth mock Sen. Mark Kelly's old U.S. Navy uniform and erroneously claim the medals are misplaced (they are not).

But that got me thinking: every military uniform is a walking resumé. Let's take a tour of Sen. Kelly's impressive career.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.

In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.

Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.

If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

Forget extending the tax credits, now the Republicans are talking getting rid of the Affordable Care Act completely...

It was last night when Black Sabbath made a final show like no other, BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

A thread🧵for those who missed some incredible live performances & highlights.

1- Steven Tyler, 77 years old, kicked the hell of a Whole Lotta Love performance by Led Zeppelin.

JAWS was released 50 years ago today. Regarded the first summer blockbuster and a landmark of Hollywood, the making of story is so crazy it begs the question of how it was ever made…

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.

Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.

South Dakota defends the Constitution.

It’s become a classic and it hits harder today than it ever has. It doesn’t matter what we say, they are going to disagree. Even if it’s in their best interest.

Zelensky: Russia is the aggressor - not Ukraine. We want the US not to search for balance in this words.

I understand that President Trump’s looking for an approach [to end the war].

But you shouldn't say that Ukraine started a war. It's painful for our people to hear. 1/

A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director. What a legend.

Proper wildlife interactions: you can’t approach them, but they can approach you! I love it when wild animals choose to interact with humans.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy.

But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.
