Can I ask an honest ? To anyone who watched sci-fi in the 80’s....has anyone pointed out the whole people in charge and power are lizard people who steal kids and are cannibals straight up from the V miniseries? My guess Q is a total 80’s kid ...just saying @maddow@JoyAnnReid
My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be!
For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself.
We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
.@RepBeatty is a national hero. She has fiercely and courageously stood up for the Kennedy Center, for the arts, for Uncle Jack’s memory, for this country’s history, and most importantly, for the law, time and time again.
We will not be bullied into silence or submission. Thank you, Rep. Beatty. We are all so grateful for your leadership.
Republicans just CANCELLED votes for tomorrow, the last legislative day before the midterms.
Why? Because they’re afraid we’ll impeach Pete Hegseth. What a bunch of cowards.
Update from my farm (my plants in pots): Benedict Cucumberbatch in full effect as well as Tomatony Soprano and Tomeadow. This harvest is turning out to be a September to Remember. 🍅🥒
Rep. @JoyceBeatty: I was at the Kennedy Center board meeting with Trump. It was the most unprofessional thing that I’ve ever witnessed. He said, ‘I think you’re incompetent,’ and I said, ‘I know you’re incompetent.’
He said he was going to hold me responsible if something fell out of the ceiling and killed someone. I said, ‘you’re already killing people. We’re at war. We also have people who are starving.’
He wanted to talk about how great he was at developing. I reminded him that he had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.
Macklemore said he would donate his $1 million earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to Palestinian relief organizations, and invited Robert Kraft to match.

"I don't want you telling me to go back to Africa, unless you going back where you come from. I got a note one day telling me to go back to Africa and ever since that time-it's been three times a week I say it when I am in a white audience-l say, 'We'll make a deal. After you send all the Koreans back to Korea, the Chinese back to China, the Jewish people back to Jerusalem, and you give the Indians their land back and you get on the Mayflower from which you come...We all here on borrowed land. We have to figure out how we're going to make things right for all the people of this country." - Fannie Lou Hamer

Who else relates to Bella on a spiritual level? 😂
She spends her entire day relaxing in the air-conditioned office. She will happily walk out when it is time for dinner, but walking back? Not a chance.
She completely refused to walk, so we had to chauffeur her back to bed on a trolley. She is living her best, most spoilt life, and we are clearly just her staff at this point! 👑🐾
I think a lot of people would have started following me when we rescued Rodney in Thailand.
How he lived through those first days I’ll never know.
To see him and run a couple of laps with him in London this weekend was magical ❤️
This is what a real Kennedy sounds like. Thank you Kerry K. for standing strong not just for human rights all over the world but for the rule of law at home. You make us proud. https://t.co/ymj8CKv0Es
BREAKING: RFK Jr.'s sister Kerry tears into Trump after his MAGA-corrupted Kennedy Center board voted to close the beloved performing arts venue.
This is what a REAL member of the Kennedy family sounds like...
“The American people love the Kennedy Center. They love the arts. They understand what’s going on, they see the corruption of this," she told CNN.
She pushed back on the absurd claim made by the board that the building must be closed for renovations because it's supposedly "unsafe" and facing "fiscal collapse." She said that there is no "financial issue" which tracks with other reporting on the issue. The Center was thriving before Trump took over and artists began pulling out. It's not failing due to a lack of popularity, it's struggling due to MAGA incompetence.
“President Trump has said they have $250 million, ready to hand over tomorrow,” said Kerry Kennedy, referring to funds that have been appropriated by Congress. “He’s just withholding it because he wants his name on the building. So, this is like so many other things that Trump has touched. It’s a bankruptcy because he adds his name to it.”
We all know that she's right. Nobody, except for perhaps the most diehard, braindead Trump supporters, think that the Kennedy Center is being shut down due to an abundance of caution and in line with good governance. Trump is throwing a hissy fit because the courts blocked his insane, vain, pathetic attempt to slap his reviled name on the building.
This is a clear cut case of Trump saying "if I can't have it, nobody can." He'd rather deny the American people access to the center entirely than allow his ego to accept defeat.
Kennedy's cousin Maria Shriver voiced a similar sentiment, stating that “a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building” was a “sad state of affairs.”
Ultimately, the American people will win and the Kennedy Center will survive. Donald Trump will be remembered as the worst President in American history and a petty, venial, desperate man on a personal level.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Kerry Kennedy!
HENRY WINKLER REVEALS HOW HIS FATHER HID JEWELRY INSIDE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES TO SAVE THEIR LIVES FROM THE NAZIS😳
“My parents had a six-week work visa and were able to leave Germany for six weeks to come to New York for business. My father never told my mother that he was really thinking of leaving for good.”
“He took my mother’s jewelry and his mother’s jewelry, or pieces of it, melted down a box of chocolate and poured the liquid chocolate over each piece of jewelry. It looked like turtles, you know, the chocolate with nuts.”
“Put it back in the box, let it dry, put the box under his arm, and when the Nazis said, Are you taking anything of value? he said, Open my bags. I have nothing.”
“He pawned the jewelry, was able— now this is to be admired —was able to start the business, the lumber business, importing and exporting wood, bought back the jewelry, and I gave our son the pocket watch that was smuggled out of Germany in chocolate.”
