This morning, we got good news about lower costs. The Department of Health and Human Services announced that the premium for Medicare Part B will decrease next year.

For years, that fee has gone up. Now, for the first time in more than a decade, it's going to go down.

Explain to me how a state which ranks 47th in teacher pay has $12 Million to spend on some disgusting political stunt?

Explain it to me like I’m 5.

I LOVE how the residents of Martha's Vineyard turned a cruel political stunt into a demonstration of how to be a caring human being.

President Biden just gave the line of the year: “Imagine an America where Republicans cared as much about lowering costs for American families as they do robbing women of their constitutional rights.”

Excited to announce that Laver Cup is partnering with The Duchess of Cambridge this year to raise funds for two incredible charities – @actionforchildrenuk and the @LTA Tennis Foundation. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing you in London!

Before you decide if the former president is responsible for the Capitol riots, remember that in America you’re innocent until proven guilty, then proven guilty again, then proven guilty again and they hold a hearing in primetime to show everyone how you’re really, really guilty.

My favorite prayer says: "For as long as space endures, And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I too abide, To dispel the misery of the world." And, in trying to fulfill that aspiration, I feel my life has been of some benefit.

That the air we breathe, the water we drink, the forests and oceans which sustain countless life forms, and the climatic patterns that govern our weather systems all transcend national boundaries is a source of hope — no country can afford not to take action in this context.

I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings, even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people, too. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person...

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Giving is recognized as a virtue in every major religion and in every civilized society, and it clearly benefits both the giver and the receiver. The one who receives is relieved from the pangs of want. The one who gives can take comfort from the joy their gift brings to others.

BREAKING: An elite Chechen fighting unit that was sent into Ukraine to kill President Zelensky has been ELIMINATED. It was sent by the leader of Russia’s Chechnya region, who is a close ally of Putin.

Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

@MajorDweeb @joncoopertweets @ElliLAnderson Biden, Blinken and US diplomats have spent the last year visiting, calling, reassuring, and listening… daily. It has been remarkable, and European leaders have openly hailed it as a new era. US began building unity against invasion by last November— it didn’t just happen.
