RIP hero. Of the far side of the moon he said:

"I am alone, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life... I am it. If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the the other side of the moon, and one plus God knows what on this side."

In 1872, our nation aspired to establish the world's first national park, @YellowstoneNPS—and now millions enjoy our parks every year. This #NationalParksWeek let’s celebrate our National Parks and work to ensure every American has equitable access to the outdoors.

A great mentor, Pennsylvania Senator Stewart J. Greenleaf, has died. A rarity in today's politics, he cared about justice above partisanship and was a work horse to achieve it. He taught me much about protecting the dignity of vulnerable people. Godspeed to an extraordinary man.

Social conditions are outside a school’s control, even as schools are charged with helping kids rise from adversity. In Lancaster, the schools largely reflect a legacy of segregation and white flight. https://t.co/RfB0pF3xpB via @lancasteronline
