Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.

At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:

“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."

🗳️ Great words of wisdom from @CNN @CNNTheStoryIs anchor, California based @Elex_Michaelson proposing, concrete, feasible, common sense measures to speed up vote counting in California.

Elex isn’t just a news anchor - he’s passionate about policy & spent his entire career prior to CNN covering California. If anyone knows, it’s Elex.

This isn’t a red or blue issue. It’s not “MAGA”. It’s not left it right. Instead, his proposals to require ballots to be received by election day, and have mail in ballots available upon request, and all voters sent ID to use specifically to vote would allow us to return to the modern world when it comes to knowing election results, and have a beneficial side effect of restoring trust and faith in our electoral system.

Our elections and our entire democracy do not function if there is not 100% trust in how the system works. This is a very simple way to help build that trust.

Thank you Elex!!

Memorial Day will always mean more to our family than cookouts or a long weekend.

It’s the sound of boots on concrete.
The weight of a folded flag in shaking hands.
Three children growing up with memories instead of a father.
A headstone in Section 60 with a date that changed the course of all our lives forever.

SSG Alan W. Shaw, was killed in Iraq on February 9, 2007. He was 31 years old. He didn’t get the chance to come home, grow old, meet grandchildren, or live the quiet life so many of us take for granted.

That’s what Memorial Day means to us.
It’s not abstract. It’s not political. It’s personal.

But over the years, I’ve also realized something else. The men we honor today did not give everything so America would sit in mourning forever. They believed in life. In freedom. In family. In backyard barbecues, ballgames, loud laughter, and the simple privilege of being home.

So yes, remember them. Speak their names. Teach your children who they were. Fly the flag. Visit the cemetery.

And then live.

Live in a way worthy of what they gave up for the rest of us. Because they are never truly gone as long as somebody is still speaking about them. 🇺🇸

$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each.
