In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and protesting lawless violence.

They are the best of America.

Here's how to stand with them. https://t.co/lQKjv0U7qv

In the 60's, the murders and savage beatings of civil rights workers and protesters changed public opinion and the course of history.
Will these grim days in Minneapolis and images of the brutal slayings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti have the same effect?

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jeffries reminds everyone that, back in January, Trump promised "that he was going to love and cherish Medicaid. Nothing about this bill loves and cherishes Medicaid. It guts Medicaid."

Make sure everyone sees this.

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:

December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.

February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.

July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.

February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.

U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.

~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.

The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.

America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.

Slava Ukraina.

As many of you have heard, I am no longer the Chairman of the Kennedy Center. I want to direct this message especially to the current and recent employees of the Kennedy Center:

I am sorry that I could not be in Washington yesterday with Deborah Rutter and all of you.

The Kennedy Center team, led by Deborah, has done an extraordinary job supporting the Kennedy Center over many years and through a number of difficult times, thereby helping to make the Center the beacon for the performing arts its founders intended.

Thanks for what Deborah and all of you have done for the American people. President Kennedy would be proud of your selfless work, your long hours, your commitment to excellence, and your dedication to the performing arts.

I believe this is the first time I’ve ever called a film a “masterpiece” on @ebertvoices. RaMell Ross’ NICKEL BOYS, a transcendent, daring film is deserving of the word.

I’m Kamala Harris, and I’m running for President of the United States.

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

President Joe Biden’s lifetime of honorable public service deserves the respect of all Americans, no matter their party. Stepping aside from this campaign is an act of selflessness that only a great patriot would do. No matter what happens in November, history will record that he put the country’s interests ahead of his own to defeat a candidate who has always put his own interests ahead of the country’s, as the aftermath of the 2020 election proved in such a disgraceful and dangerous fashion.

Democrats now have a chance for a fresh new start, and while some elected leaders and party officials make their endorsements, there are still four weeks before the party’s more than 4,000 delegates convene in Chicago. That is more than enough time for the party to take the pulse of voters, especially in battleground states, to determine who is best positioned to win in November and lead the country over the next four years. We don’t need to get a resolution right away, but we do need to get it right. The decision is too important to rush, because the election is too important to lose.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

This was a stunning day and the impulse of both campaigns will be to focus obsessively on it.
Trump will sink more deeply into obsessive rage and self-pity.
The Biden campaign may be tempted to flood the zone about the conviction.
But while Trump wallows in his own troubles, the right play for Biden may be to lean even more into the day-to-day concerns of people.
The contrast would be powerful.
People want a president obsessed with addressing their problems, not his own.

Mark my words: Gen Z is watching. Gen Z is paying attention. And Gen Z will make Republicans in Tennessee — & across the nation — pay for messing around with our lives in 2024.

I discussed the outrage & fury Gen Z feels on MSNBC with @SRuhle & @dellavolpe. Watch below👇

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

These three presidents — say whatever you want — have dedicated their life to public service. They’ve shown leadership and courage. They don’t undermine trust in our elections & democracy; they protect it. Inspiring to see these three presidents on stage. We’re in this together.

Incredible gift which will transform medical education and the lives of medical students in service to the health and well being of others! Dr. Gottesman thank you!!!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Holy Crap!

93-year-old billionaire, Dr. Ruth Gottesman, just donated $1 BILLION to a Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her instructions for the money?

"The gift should be used to cover tuition for all students going forward."

Her Husband passed away 2 years ago. “He left me, unbeknownst to me, a whole portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock,” The instructions were simple: “Do whatever you think is right with it,” she recalled.

This is amazing!

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Watch. Hope every Republican will watch this and share. Our democracy, rule of law, and constitution should trump party and politics. Very powerful answer here.

Thank you to all @Oceana supporters who attended our annual New York Gala, especially honorees @ArcadiaFund and @LeoDiCaprio. Over the past 10 years, this event has raised more than $14 million to help deliver policy victories in NY and around the world.

Amazing evening and everyone must go the @pac_nyc

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

Arts and culture are at the core of what makes New York special, and a place people want to be and where businesses want to invest – and that makes it a beacon of hope and engine of opportunity for everyone everywhere.

The opening of the Perelman Performing Arts Center @pac_nyc will be a testament of that and a benefit for all of New York City.
