Our hearts ache as we announce the passing of John Kinsel Sr., a cherished elder and one of the immortal Navajo Code Talkers. At 107, he leaves behind a legacy of unbreakable bravery forged in the fires of Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima. From 1942 to 1946, as a U.S. Marine, he wielded his sacred language, the uncrackable code, to weave the vital communications that defied the enemy and tipped the scales of World War II.

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 😂👏

🚨 WHERE IS THE MONEY? Blundell reveals that Trump and his cronies gained access to the Kennedy Center’s accounts, and $17 million in operational funds has vanished! This is blatant looting of public institutions. We demand a full investigation now! 🔥😡

Your taxpayer dollars are apparently going towards Trump's ballroom, contrary to what he'd like you to believe.

An internal cost estimate of the ballroom from the project’s contractor estimated that half of the $600 million cost would be taxpayer-funded.

Reflecting Pool story:

Under Obama, responsible people carefully studied the problem, sought best solutions - and failed.

Under Trump, irresponsible people imposed a hasty solution that enriched inept cronies - and failed even more spectacularly.

Giraffes help keep ecosystems in balance by feeding on hard-to-reach leaves, creating space for other animals. 🌿🦒

But habitat loss and poaching threaten their survival.

Sunday’s #WorldGiraffeDay is a reminder of the urgency to protect them.

#BREAKING: @jdvance: “If you go back to WWII, if you go back to WWI, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.”

Lawrence: “NO, they didn’t. WWII ended with ZERO negotiations. WWII ended the way Donald Trump claimed his war in #Iran was going to end—unconditional surrender. Japan and Germany each signed unconditional surrender documents. Adolf Hitler killed himself rather than submit Germany to the unconditional surrender that he knew was coming. Every vice president, everyone, prior to JD Vance has KNOWN that President FDR demanded the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan during WWII and when FDR died…his vice president, then elevated to the presidency, Harry Truman, accepted those unconditional surrenders without a word of negotiation with anyone about those surrenders. That kind of statement by JD Vance demonstrating a complete IGNORANCE of how WWII ended is the kind of thing that used to get you drummed out of American politics before Donald Trump’s DUMBING DOWN of the Republican Party and it tells you something about  the quality of thinking that the vice president of the United States brings to his job.” 😳

Trump told Leslie Stahl something years ago that everyone should hear.

She asked Trump he kept calling the media fake news.

He said, I do it because I need to discredit you, so that when you say negative things about me, nobody believes you.

That is EXACTLY what he’s done.

The problem everyone has with him is that most of us grew up with values, ethics, and integrity.

That is not Donald Trump.

He figured out a long time ago that he can bully his way through any rule and if he keeps pushing harder and harder, people will relent.

For most of his life they did, but we must stand up against it.

Unfortunately, the court allowed the National Park Service's removal of Philadelphia's Freedom and Slavery Exhibit.

Let's be very clear: The erasure of this country's history of slavery poses a threat to democracy itself.

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Yesterday, a protester projected images of Donald Trump with his friend Jeffrey Epstein on the tarp of the Kennedy center.
Thank you to whoever did this.
