We're going to see a lot in the coming days about what Republican losses in Texas mean for the future of MAGA.
But please know that tonight also marks a sharp rejection of anti-abortion extremism, specifically. It’s a reminder that conservatives' fucked up agenda for women is unpopular everywhere
Sesame Workshop mourns the loss of Sir Patrick Stewart. Thank you for being our friend and for sharing your brilliance, joy, and kindness with the world. 💛💚
I have been afraid they would use debt to force young people to fight the Iran War. I was asked years ago in an interview what I feared, and I said that, and emphasized that I had no evidence but that “it seems like something they’ll do, given the youth debt crisis.” Now it may be happening. Folks, stick together — no war. No draft. No debt exploitation. I don’t care who you voted for. Let’s not leave our US young folks alone should this monstrosity come to pass.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family.

With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place.

This is gutting. There are few people who are universally beloved. Dolly Parton is one. She made the US a better place. I've dreaded this day because of the unique way she was admired and loved by so many different people. We'll grieve together now, and it's an awful feeling.

Many are mourning the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo after he was fatally shot by an ICE agent on Tuesday.
Antonio, a construction worker who lives in the area, stopped by the makeshift memorial in Magnolia Park and cried inconsolably.
The uniparty dismisses defenders of US sovereignty as the fringes: leftist Democrats and a few retiring Republicans. They are not the fringes: they are the protectors. They are the only US officials honoring US independence on Independence Day.
The rest are collaborators.
