Alaska Airlines flight attendant Shelia Frederick was working a flight from Seattle to San Francisco.
She noticed a scared teenage girl sitting with a much older man who acted controlling.
Shelia slipped a note into the bathroom asking if the girl needed help. The girl wrote back: “I need help.”
Shelia alerted the pilots. On landing in San Francisco, police arrested the man and rescued the girl from human trafficking.
One quick-thinking flight attendant saved a life.
18 years ago today, I launched on Space Shuttle Discovery for my first flight as shuttle commander. Our mission was to deliver Kibo, the Japanese experiment module, to the @Space_Station. In the years since, that laboratory has been home to advances in medicine, materials science, Earth observation, and technology.
🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.

Saturn doesn’t just have rings — it rules an entire miniature solar https://t.co/MrqpkqJLDA of 2026, the ringed giant boasts 292 confirmed moons, far more than any other planet, with the number still climbing as astronomers keep spotting tiny new ones. Dominating them all is Titan, a colossal world larger than the planet Mercury. With a thick nitrogen atmosphere, rivers and lakes of liquid methane, and a diameter of 5,150 km, Titan feels more like a planet that got captured than a mere moon.Titan orbits Saturn at a safe distance of about 1.2 million kilometres — well beyond the outer edge of the famous ring system. Those dazzling rings, made of countless icy particles and moonlets, are confined much closer to the planet, while Titan sails majestically around the entire sprawling family of satellites. The sheer crowd of moons — from planet-sized Titan down to kilometer-scale irregular rocks — reveals just how gravitationally chaotic and crowded Saturn’s neighborhood truly is. It’s a dynamic, ever-evolving system where collisions, captures, and gravitational dances continue to shape one of the most spectacular regions in our Solar System.
Planning is underway for our Artemis III mission, which will test the capabilities of NASA's Orion spacecraft and one or both commercial landers from @BlueOrigin and @SpaceX as they meet and dock in Earth's orbit. Details: https://t.co/qzH3spgNyK
The University of Chicago will guarantee free tuition for students with family incomes below $250,000 starting in Fall 2027.
Students with family incomes below $125,000 will also receive free housing and meals.
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.
Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.
