I like talking and listening. I'm better at one than the other. You make the call!

As the initial death toll from #HurricaneHelene becomes known, it is important to remember that we can prevent more deaths in the coming days by making sure everyone who owns a portable generator knows to keep it outdoors -- at least 20 feet away from their home.

Surprised this hasn’t gotten more attention. During the debate, when Trump claimed (falsely) that on Jan. 6 “nobody on the other side was killed,” the “other side” he was talking about was the police & Congress. He also called the rioters “we” before he caught himself.

🔥🔥 This new ad from the Harris Campaign will run nationally on Fox News and in West Palm Beach (Mar-a-Lago) and Philadelphia (debate) media markets on Tuesday

“The people closest to Trump in his White House have a warning for America: Trump is not fit to be president again.”

These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School.

The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.

Lincoln watches March on Washington, today 1963.
With his understanding what America could be and should be, Lincoln's legacy looms above all of us in 2024.

.@TheAmandaGorman at the #DNC: "Perhaps the American dream is no dream at all but instead a dare to dream together...
This if our country,
from many one
from battles won
our freedoms sung
our kingdom come
has just begun."

The Medal of Honor is so revered that it's the only decoration specially emblazoned on headstones in Arlington National Cemetery.

The Medal of Honor is so revered that when an Active Duty recipient wears it in uniform, it is customary, though not technically required, for all officers, no matter their seniority, to initiate a salute.

If a buck sergeant is in uniform and wearing their Medal of Honor, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will more than likely salute first.

The Medal of Honor is so revered that the children of recipients are guaranteed a nomination to any of the Service Academies. They still must compete for final admission, but the incredibly difficult nomination process is entirely waived for their application.

The Medal of Honor is so revered that recipients and their dependents are entitled to special military ID cards for particular privileges at commissaries and priority on military air travel.

The Medal of Honor is so revered that every state offers some degree of special license plate for drivers who are recipients.

The Medal of Honor is so revered that recipients receive an automatic special pension from the VA that's tacked on to any other pensions, retired or medical, they may have. Adjusted for cost-of-living regularly, it's currently $1671.16 per month.

The Medal of Honor is so revered that all living recipients are entitled to an invitation to every presidential inauguration and inaugural ball.

The Medal of Honor is so revered that a fragile, cowardly, insecure, and deeply narcissistic piece of shit like Donald Trump can't stand knowing he'll never receive a similar universal respect.

@Morbidful We should use this technology, seems to make sense.

In Switzerland, a mobile overpass bridge is used to carry out road work without stopping traffic.

We have a crisis of roadway deaths in this country—and today we’re taking a major step toward addressing this with our new rule on automatic emergency braking.

World Central Kitchen, founded by @chefjoseandres, provides on-the-ground aid during humanitarian crises.

The org currently operates in Gaza, where supply shortages have forced them to innovate.

Their CEO & director of emergency response join @brikeilarcnn & @jessicadean.

He’s a crazy old man and we need to highlight everyone of his slips.
