Our hearts are heavy today for 19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, Texas. This brave young soldier was killed Friday in Iranian missile and drone attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan.

At just 19, she selflessly answered the call to defend our nation. Her courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Sending deepest condolences and prayers to her family, friends, and all who loved her. May God wrap you in comfort and grant her eternal peace.

Thank you for your service, Isabella. You are a true hero. 🇺🇸

This amazing family owned store started a incentive program for kids in the neighborhood that if they bring their report cards in with good grades or if their grades improve they get to pick whatever they want out of the store to eat & drink & that’s what this little boy did. ❤️

Today is the one year anniversary of when @RepThomasMassie and I introduced the historic Epstein Files Transparency Act.

When that legislation passed, survivors finally saw a concrete step toward transparency and justice.

Massie and I remain committed to fighting for survivors, releasing the remaining files and prosecuting Epstein abusers.

When the RMS Titanic was sinking on April 15, 1912, one of its most unforgettable stories was not about survival, but about devotion.

Among the passengers were Isidor and Ida Straus, the longtime husband and wife behind the Macy's department store empire. As lifeboats were being filled, Isidor was offered a seat because of his age. He declined, saying he would not take a place while women and children were still waiting.

Ida was then urged to board without him. She refused.

According to survivor accounts, she said, "We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go."

She handed her fur coat to her maid, insisting that she take the lifeboat instead.

Witnesses later recalled seeing Isidor and Ida together on the deck, calm and side by side as the ship entered its final moments. Isidor's body was later recovered, but Ida was never found.

James Cameron honored their story in Titanic (1997) with the unforgettable scene of an elderly couple embracing in bed as water fills their cabin. While that specific moment is fictional, it was inspired by the real love and loyalty of the Strauses.

After more than forty years of marriage, they chose to face the end together rather than spend their final moments apart.

For the first time, Ukraine is moving closer to the possibility of producing missiles for Patriot systems and could become the third country in history to secure such an agreement and such a privilege.

I thank the President of the United States for this political decision, which is already historic and will help save thousands of lives in Ukraine. It is crucial that our two sides and our teams succeed in seeing this through, and that Patriot missiles bearing the words “Made in Ukraine” become a reality as soon as possible.

This is the reality that will bring security and the triumph of life in Ukraine closer – in which our people, our children, our cities and squares, and all this beauty you see around you now will finally see peaceful days and nights.

A Cosmic Question Mark, 400 Million Light-Years Away

The universe just dropped the ultimate mic drop.

Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, this breathtaking image shows NGC 7674 (also known as Markarian 533) — a majestic barred spiral galaxy — locked in a dramatic gravitational tango with its smaller companion, NGC 7674A. Together, they form a luminous question mark suspended in the void, as if the cosmos itself is asking us: What happens when galaxies collide?

This dynamic pair belongs to the ultra-dense Hickson Compact Group 96 and earned its spot in Halton Arp’s legendary Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 182. But the real story lies beneath the beauty: raw, violent physics playing out on a galactic scale.

The Cosmic Airbag: Shock Waves
When the gas clouds of these two galaxies slam into each other at hundreds of kilometers per second, the impact is cataclysmic. The gases compress so violently it’s like two cosmic airbags deploying at once. This sudden squeeze triggers an explosive burst of star formation — brilliant neon-blue knots lighting up along the spiral arms. These are starburst regions, where billions of hot, young stars ignite in a cosmic fireworks show visible across hundreds of millions of light-years.

The Quicksand Effect: Dynamical Friction
Meanwhile, the smaller galaxy is doomed. It’s plunging through the gravitational “soup” of its larger neighbor. Every orbit stirs up stars and dark matter behind it, creating an invisible drag that slowly bleeds away its momentum — like trying to run through honey. Inevitably, it’s spiraling inward for a final, inevitable merger.

Cosmic Fact Sheet
Location**: Pegasus constellation
Distance**: 400 million light-years
Size**: The main galaxy stretches over 110,000 light-years across — slightly larger than our Milky Way
The Ultimate Secret: Deep in its core lurks something extraordinary — a **Seyfert Type 2 active galactic nucleus powered by not one, but two supermassive black holes orbiting each other at a distance of just one light-year. They’re among the closest binary black hole candidates ever found.

This isn’t just a pretty picture. It’s a live demonstration of how galaxies grow, merge, and evolve — the same processes that shaped our own Milky Way billions of years ago.

Next time you look up at the night sky, remember: somewhere out there, the universe is still writing its story… and right now, it’s asking a very big question

Donald Trump's second term is devastating to anyone concerned about the most vulnerable members of our society, anyone who wants to see him face justice for his crimes, and anyone fearful of his intentions to exact revenge against his enemies or use military force against Americans.

Alligator Alcatraz is gone like it never existed and now it can go back to who it rightfully belongs to nature. The things that went on at this Concentration camp will never be forgotten and neither will the money for FEMA that was used for it instead of Hurricane relief.

Sen. @AdamSchiff to Acting AG Todd Blanche:

What happened to the prosecutor who once respected the rule of law? What happened to you, Todd Blanche? Power doesn't corrupt as much as it reveals. I suspect it has revealed you are willing to sacrifice everything you believed in for that title of Attorney General, and it is a sad story that we have seen from Trump appointee after appointee. We have seen people compromise themselves until they're trying to justify the unjustifiable.

A clever African grey parrot named Rocco went viral after being caught using Alexa to secretly order snacks and toys from Amazon while home alone.

Rocco, who lives in the United Kingdom with his owner Marion Wischnewski, mastered the smart assistant by mimicking human speech. He successfully added items like strawberries, broccoli, ice cream treats, and toys to shopping lists — and even attempted to place full orders.

His owner first noticed something unusual when random items started appearing in her Amazon cart. After some investigation, she discovered that Rocco had been chatting with Alexa whenever he was left unsupervised.

Originally rescued by the National Animal Welfare Trust, Rocco’s mischievous intelligence has captivated people worldwide, highlighting just how clever and playful African grey parrots can be.

HE WAS ONLY RIDING HIS BIKE... BUT THAT DAY, HE BECAME SOMEONE'S LIFELINE

When a 14-year-old saw an elderly woman struggling under the scorching Arizona sun... he didn't just notice her. He chose to help.

In June 2026, in Gilbert, Arizona, teenager Royal Cothrun was riding his bicycle when he spotted 75-year-old Teresa Morgan walking alone, confused, and visibly affected by the extreme 103°F heat.

Instead of passing by, Royal stopped.

He gently guided her to a shaded area, stayed calm, and patiently spoke with her until she was able to remember her son Jeff's phone number.

Using his own phone, he called for help and stayed with her until her family and emergency responders arrived.

Teresa had recently been diagnosed with dementia and had unknowingly wandered far from home after a grocery trip.

Royal's actions were more than quick thinking...

...they showed empathy, patience, and genuine care for another person.

Stories like this are also a reminder to parents everywhere: raising a kind child means teaching them to notice others, to care, and to understand that every person deserves compassion.

In 2001, Holly Shearer was just 15 years old when she made one of the hardest decisions of her life.

She gave birth to a baby boy in Utah and placed him for adoption, believing another family could give him opportunities she couldn't. She carefully chose Angela and Brian Hulleberg to raise him, hoping he would grow up surrounded by love.

That little boy was named Benjamin Hulleberg.

Benjamin always knew he was adopted. His parents never hid the truth, and they spoke kindly about his birth mother. As he got older, he wanted to find her, but years of searching through adoption registries and DNA services led nowhere.

Holly never forgot him either.

After the adoption agency had closed, she eventually found Benjamin's public social media profile. For nearly two years, she quietly watched him grow from a distance, unsure if she should reach out.

On his 20th birthday in November 2021, she finally sent him a simple Facebook message wishing him a happy birthday and explaining who she was.

He replied almost immediately.

The next day, they met in person for the first time since the day he was born. It wasn't just Holly and Benjamin there. His adoptive parents also came, turning the reunion into a moment of gratitude rather than division.

Then came an even bigger surprise.

While talking over dinner, Benjamin mentioned that he volunteered in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City.

Holly froze.

She had been working in the hospital's Heart Center as a medical assistant.

For nearly two years, mother and son had worked in the very same hospital. They had parked in the same garage, walked the same hallways, eaten in the same cafeteria, and may have passed each other countless times without ever knowing they were family.

Today, Benjamin has also built relationships with his younger half siblings, and he and Holly continue making up for the years they lost

Three years ago I sued @PatrickByrne for lying about me. He claimed that I took a bribe and committed treason. He implied I was in some part responsible for the Hamas attack of October 7th.

His lies caused real damage and endangered my family.

On Friday I was awarded $1.7M in punitive damages by a Reagan-appointed federal judge. The court determined that everything he said about me was a complete fiction.

For those of you who don’t know Patrick Byrne, he is the former Overstock CEO who lost control of his company when it became public he was sleeping with convicted Russian agent Maria Butina. He is the man who was in the Oval Office with Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell leading up to the January 6th insurrection.

He is a clownish footnote in history. But his lies travel far and wide. He is a fraud who did the bidding of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon.

This isn’t the first defamation case brought against Byrne, and it won’t be the last. Even after losing, he is still doing it.

He continues to tell his audience he has “three dynamite voicemails” and a former federal agent whose testimony confirms his story. Byrne had three years to bring that evidence to court. He never produced it. The voicemails he did produce, the court found, “do not mention a bribe, implicate contemporaneous involvement in any illegal scheme by Plaintiff, or otherwise independently corroborate Defendant’s story.” The former federal agent Byrne relied on, John Moynihan, gave sworn testimony that contradicted him. The FBI agent Byrne claimed had backed him up denied it under oath.

Those are not my findings. Those are the findings of a federal court. And nothing prevents Byrne from releasing the voicemails he keeps promising his audience. He never has, because the court has already listened to what he produced and found they prove nothing.

Patrick will try not pay this judgment. He didn’t pay the $34,969 the court ordered six months ago either. His strategy is delay. Fire the lawyer. Skip the hearing. File nonsense with courts that have already ruled. Repeat the lie on Alex Jones while the clock runs.

He is not a whistleblower or a spy. He is a man who got played by a Russian intelligence asset, lost his company over it, and has been performing a spy fantasy on the internet ever since.

He is a coward who wouldn’t even show up in court to face me. He is hiding in Dubai, where he fled during my case to avoid being deposed, and told the court a story about a Venezuelan hit squad to explain it.

He will run from this judgment the same way he ran from my trial. Fine. Every defamatory statement is a new lawsuit. I have as much time as he has words.

Susan Collins may have just walked into the biggest political liability of her career.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY explains: This week’s ICE killing in Maine transformed immigration from a border issue into a hometown tragedy. The man killed was not the person agents were seeking, and the agents were masked, driving unmarked cars and not wearing body cameras, all the hallmarks of a gang trying to carjack you.

PAXIS helps immigrants and allies prepare for ICE encounters and deal with the consequences: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2N2N2

Now Collins owns the politics of it. As chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, she played a significant role in funding and expanding ICE.

Maine voters are rightly linking her to an agency associated with what looks more like a gang killing targeting nonwhite residents, with no accountability. The moderate brand that kept her in office for decades has unraveled.
