The silence from Democrats when Muslim colleagues and candidates are attacked is a cancerous rot.
We cannot lead our country out this moment if we're willing to accept the abuse or dehumanization of any marginalized group.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
Earlier today while working on the farm, my phone began going crazy because of a post made by a member of my comms team.
The post was stupid, hurtful and a complete distraction from my America First focus. The employee has been reprimanded.
Dude is out here getting arrested for being an extremist while also looking like he’s about to mow someone’s lawn.
These “free-speech” morons are a prime example of a failed educational system. And don’t even get me started with that goofy vest.
Mayor Mamdani, who skipped the Israel Day Parade, which some called a Klan rally, says he is “offended” by the participation of far-right Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich and other ministers in the parade, calling it “a vision of annihilation” and “a complicity in genocide.”
He added that their politics show little regard for “the sanctity of children in Gaza.”
We’re both proud Jewish New Yorkers. But there are sharp & clear differences between us on Israel/Palestine.
For example, Dan Goldman marched alongside war criminal Bezalel Smotrich yesterday, who called it “just & moral” to starve Gaza. I did not.
