Your genes are your predisposition but not your fate when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease.

@hobday_jon Queens is one of the five boroughs of New York City. For New Yorkers, Long Island is considered Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Every kid hated standing still on it.

If you know what this is, you're old.

I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.

NEW: A baby duck has now died at the reflecting pool.

This image was shared with me in the past hour by someone who visited the reflecting pool. It is unclear what the cause of death is.

Prince was such a massive fan of THE MUPPETS, he asked if he could host the Muppets Tonight show in 1997, leading to one of the rare instances we saw a more comedic version of himself instead of the quiet and reserved persona fans were used to 😂👏

As we’re forced to say goodbye to one of our most brilliant, hilarious and beloved shows, @colbertlateshow, I want to thank Stephen and his incredible team for the eleven years of astonishing gifts they’ve given us all.

Stephen Colbert got his band to play licensed music during his final show so CBS would be sued for using the music illegally.

“Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow. In one of the most emotional moments in television history, Stephen Colbert signs off his show’s last opening monologue by sharing that he realized his job was to “feel the news” with us.

What a class act and an extraordinary person. Thank you Stephen.

Pam Bondi will be remembered as the AG who watched videos and saw images of powerful men raping kids and decided to protect the men.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET.

Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time.

5 minutes before Trump's post.

Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer?

This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

Sen. John Kennedy admits on Fox News that the Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to fund TSA, but Trump said, “No. No deals with the Democrats.”

Kennedy says, “It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week.”

This is the Trump shutdown!

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Kash Patel's trip to the Olympics:

“The video is ridiculous, and it was completely inappropriate for him to be engaging, to go at all…Horrible, horrible message to the FBI rank and file…And a horrible message to the country”

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

“Quiet Piggy”

“You’re ugly inside and out”

“You’re a nasty woman”

“You’re so bad. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile”

These are all statements that Trump has made to female reporters.

It’s misogyny. It’s abuse. The press should refuse to cover him until he apologizes.

BRIAN MAY QUIETLY WALKED INTO A SMALL RESCUE SHELTER ON THE BRINK OF CLOSING — WITH JUST 48 HOURS LEFT BEFORE EVERY CAT INSIDE WOULD BE PUT DOWN

The bills were overdue. Donations had dried up. The owner had run out of options. In less than 48 hours, 39 cats were scheduled to be euthanized—not because they were sick or aggressive, but because there was nowhere left for them to go.

Then, without cameras, a film crew, or any announcement, Brian May walked through the door.

Known to millions as the legendary guitarist of Queen and a lifelong animal-rights advocate, Brian didn’t ask for recognition. He didn’t lead with his iconic status. Dressed simply, with his familiar calm presence, he walked straight to the back of the shelter—to the quietest row of enclosures, where the oldest and weakest cats lay unnoticed.

There, curled up in the corner of a worn blanket, was an 11-year-old tabby mix named Buddy.

Too tired to lift his head.
Too old to be adopted.
Too close to the end.

Brian knelt beside him, his gentle hands resting softly on the cat’s head. He spoke quietly, careful not to startle him. For several moments, he said nothing at all. Then he looked up at the owner and asked softly,

“How many cats are here?”

“Thirty-nine,” the owner replied, her voice breaking.

Brian nodded. No hesitation. No phone calls to assistants. He said calmly—with a steady certainty that stilled the room:

“All 39 cats deserve a future.”

What followed felt unreal to the shelter staff. The very next morning, delivery trucks began arriving.

New bedding and climate-safe flooring.
High-quality food and medical supplies.
Scratching posts, grooming stations, and enrichment areas.

Every enclosure was repaired and restored. All outstanding debts were paid in full. Veterinarians were brought in to examine every single animal. Above each enclosure, a small wooden sign appeared: “Forever home — with love from Brian.”

But the moment that brought everyone to tears came from the quietest corner of the room. Buddy was being lifted gently for a checkup when Brian stepped forward.

“I’ll take him,” he said.

The room went silent. Buddy—overlooked for a decade—finally belonged.

“He’s waited long enough,” Brian said later, a soft smile on his face. “I think it’s time he came home.”

Brian May didn’t post about it. He didn’t mention it on stage. He didn’t call the press. The story surfaced days later when a volunteer, overwhelmed by what she’d witnessed, decided people needed to know.

He didn’t just save a shelter.
He didn’t just save cats.
He saved 39 lives—and reminded the world that compassion doesn’t need applause.

Sometimes, the greatest acts of kindness happen when the spotlight is off.

BREAKING: A letter from Alex Pretti’s Final Nursing Student:

“I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.

Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.

It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.

Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.

Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.

Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Clearer look. I never see the man touch his firearm, and it looks like he's disarmed before being shot.
