Fun fact: Madison Square Garden is available for anyone to rent out for $1M a day. Most of the people renting it (and yes, shutting down a few streets) do not reward the city with $26M in donations. Cry harder MAGA. 🤪
The people who wanted Jimmy Kimmel to be fired over a melania joke are suddenly ok with a UFC fighter's disgusting 'joke' about Michelle Obama on White House grounds.
After hearing what was said about Michelle Obama at the White House last night, I can’t stay silent.
She’s a Princeton- and Harvard-educated attorney, a former First Lady, and a global example of intelligence, grace, and elegance.
I’m speaking up because she taught us: *“When they go low, we go high.”* That means calling out disrespect while still choosing dignity.
I stand with Michelle Obama. And she represents the best of American values.
If you think California is taking a long time to count votes... wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein Files
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
#PutahFire UPDATE (June 9, 7 am): The fire is now 20 percent contained. Its size will be assessed later Tuesday morning when it is mapped by CAL FIRE remote sensing aircraft.
Highway 128 remains closed to traffic from Pleasants Valley Road to the Canyon Creek Resort and its status will be re-evaluated later in the morning.
Overnight, firefighters battled gusty winds as they worked to keep the fire within the established control lines. There were multiple spots where the fire slopped over control lines that the hand crews and dozers continue to focus on. The left shoulder (western side) of the fire was the area that caused the most problems.
On Tuesday, CAL FIRE will have 15 engines, 12 hand crews, seven dozers and seven water tenders with approximately 265 total personnel assigned to the incident. Three aircraft - one air attack, one airtanker and one helicopter - are assigned for early morning aerial firefighting operations, as weather conditions permit.
Evacuation warnings remain in place for Yolo County Zones YCU-197, YCU-291 and YCU-293. To view the evacuation map, visit: https://t.co/wgpy6FBhZF
I don’t mean to overstate the obvious, but do y’all remember the Obama years? No wars, no scandals, just waking up and feeling safe every day. God I miss Obama
The WORLD WAS SAFE PLACE.
