When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Among many hotel stays at the Marriott and many, many flights on American Airlines, Byron Donalds transferred $70,000 from his SuperPAC to Highwood Capital LLC.

Why is a political candidate transferring campaign funds to a hedge fund? 🤷‍♂️

We spent over $70B bombing them.
We will spend $300B to rebuild them.
We lost this war, and now we will be funding Iran.

Charlamagne tha God: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency and class and poise and intelligence. That no longer exists now. Now that bar is in hell. Satan and his demons use that bar to limbo”

“The real division in America isn't between cities and rural areas or suburbs... It's between people anywhere who find joy in community versus those who seem to only find it in fealty.” @JonStewart

MacKenzie Scott gave more in 2025 than Musk, Page, Ellison, and her ex-husband, Bezos, have in their lifetimes combined.

Let that sink in, folks.

MacKenzie Scott’s $26 billion giving sprint in seven years, including a record $7.2 billion last year, makes her the third-biggest philanthropist of all-time. She gave more in 2025 than Musk, Page, Ellison and her ex-husband Bezos have in their lifetimes combined.

Dan Bongino left the #2 spot at the FBI without any successful investigations into the conspiracy theories he promoted to go back to his podcast and promote the same conspiracy theories. @dbongino

These monks are not walking 2,300 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. just for peace. They are walking against the normalization of barbarism and cruelty in America. Nobody has to say who is responsible. EVERYONE KNOWS. 🙌🙏🫶

Mike Johnson whines about how much easier his life would be if America was a monarchy.

🚨NEW: Stephen Colbert will be the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power.

RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

$25 for a turkey leg?! My parents would be appalled - one of their annual TX State Fair purchases.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Tariffs are ruining everything — including the Texas State Fair.

$14 for fried oreos.
$15 for a funnel cake chicken sandwich.
$25 for a turkey leg.

DC politicians are pricing Texans out of our own state fair.

In 2015, nine Black parishioners were murdered during a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church—the oldest Black church in the South.

Among them was pastor and Democratic state senator Clementa C. Pinckney.

The killer was a 21-year-old white supremacist.

This is how President Obama responded.

In moments like this, presidents can choose to calm the nation and offer grace... or to inflame divisions and pit Americans against one another.

Don’t let leaders use tragedy to divide us. Don't let them attribute the evil actions of an individual to the entire group.

Not only is that collectivism, it's a tool of manipulation and control.

Reject it.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

On the morning of 9/11/2001, it wasn’t Democrats or Republicans that were attacked, but the United States.

Today is not just the anniversary of one of the darkest days in modern history, but a reminder that we are all Americans first.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

In light of today’s shooting death of Charlie Kirk, it’s worth remembering that while Paul Pelosi was lying in the ICU with a fractured skull, vile ghouls like Don Jr. thought it was comedy content. These people don’t just enable violence - they celebrate it.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
