@classic_film So much has changed. I know all the shows and actors listed here from 1969. Last years Emmy show I didn't know any of the shows because they are on channels that cost money to watch. Why wasn't showing ads enough money for the industry.
This is Sad!
For almost 30 years, leaders from both parties have set politics aside to honor the women veterans who gave their lives for this country at Arlington National Cemetery.
Then Trump and Hegseth shut it down.
Why? Because the ceremony recognized women.
This is an insult to every woman who wore the uniform, served with courage, and sacrificed for this nation.
Yesterday, @demwomencaucus stood with the women veterans Trump and Hegseth tried to erase and held an event anyway.
We see you. We honor you. We thank you. 🇺🇸
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
Under the proposed merger, nearly 50% of Paramount-Warner Brothers would be foreign-owned, including by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.
This deal could pose a national security threat.
It has emerged that Somali referee Omar Artan, who was denied entry to the United States for the #2026WorldCup, was interrogated for 11 hours at the border.
Artan described his experience with the following words:
“I am just a referee trying to live out his biggest dream, to go to the World Cup.
I am really, really disappointed. I had the proper documents and the correct visa. I think they have a problem with my country.”
This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.
AI data centers are doubling electricity demand.
Private equity executives see a cash grab.
They're buying up utility companies to cash in on the energy surge and pass costs to consumers while making services worse.
I’m fighting back.
There are only 236 of them left on Earth. Every single one has a name.
The kākāpō is the world's heaviest parrot - a mossy green, owl-faced bird the size of a small dog that cannot fly, may live to 90 years, and only breeds every 2 to 4 years when New Zealand's rimu trees produce enough fruit to trigger the urge.
Rats. Cats. Stoats. Humans clearing forests. The kākāpō never evolved to outrun any of them.
By 1995, 51 birds remained. Scientists, rangers, and Ngāi Tahu - the Māori people who have always known this bird as taonga, a treasure—evacuated every last one to predator-free islands.
Each bird got a transmitter. Each nest watched around the clock.
This past February 14th, the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched. They named her Tīwhiri. By spring, 59 chicks had been born.
236 birds. Every name known. Every nest watched.
Who's counting down the days until the rimu trees fruit again? 🦜

The Trump admin is trying to eliminate the Chemical Safety Board, which is a federal agency that investigates chemical disasters and exposes what corporations and regulators missed.
They have a small budget so it's not about cost-cutting. The agency's core objective is to protect workers, communities, and the environment by issuing specific safety recommendations.
Eliminating the CSB makes disasters easier to bury. If the Trump admin gets their wish, it'd mean fewer investigations after leaks, explosions, deaths, and mass injuries.
This affects every American, especially ones who live near a refinery, chemical plant, fertilizer facility, plastics complex, or industrial corridor.
FACT: Trump cut funding to stop the spread of screwworms. Then he signed an executive order allowing 100,000 metric tons of beef from Argentina into the U.S. per year. America eradicated screwworms in 1966, while Argentina has been struggling with them for well over a century.
City Hall announces another Knicks watch party capacity 5,000 at Bryant Park

What awful thing to say to someone. While that’s not true in my case it is true for so many. Comments like this make it really difficult for people to feel that there is anywhere safe for them to share their stories. I’m sure you didn’t mean this to be cruel in that way but please try and do better. Not for me. Make fun of me all you want. But for anyone who has faced that trauma and is trying to survive out there.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced a free Knicks watch party at Bryant Park.
This comes after watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden were canceled due to Trump's attendance.
