President Barack Obama (@BarackObama) writes about Abraham Lincoln and what held the Union together when everything was working to pull it apart.
At the center is Lincoln's argument that individual liberty and the common good aren't opposing forces, and that a democracy survives only when its citizens keep choosing to bind their fates together.
The transition of sports fandom from loyalty and joy and community to monetization and commodification is a little heartbreaking to me. A signal of the broader commercialization of everything not nailed down in America.
The @GoldenKnights are the first team to sweep the Presidents' Trophy winners in the Conference Finals or later since the Devils did so in the 1995 Stanley Cup Final against the Red Wings.
Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.
Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.
@Braylon_Breeze In January Gary talked about binge-watching Heated Rivalry in one night, called it a wonderful story and compelling. Would be interesting to know how many fans they think it did bring in?
NEW: It appears that Marco Rubio is trying to get the Vatican’s blessing to undertake military action in Cuba.
If true, it’s an absolutely wild gambit to try to preemptively silence Pope Leo XIV.
There’s no doubt a military operation in Cuba would be publicly and vigorously opposed by the first U.S.-born pontiff.
Paul Woods calling his final game tonight as he retires from an incredible 40 year broadcast career with the @DetroitRedWings. Incredible player, broadcaster, and human being. I'll always be thankful for my time spent on the radio broadcasts with him and @KenKalDRW We'll miss you, Paul!

NASA is the best of America, what America used to be: professional, science-based, dedicated to excellence, idealistic, and dazzlingly ambitious. May America one day recover its NASA soul.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

If the war is still going on Russia shouldn't be in the tournament. And if it's over the NHL picked probably the most hostile host cities for Russia to play in.

Little more context for this.
Prague is hosting European portion of this tournament. If Russia comes back they may play in Calgary.
Also two of the teams listed pushed not to have Russia at Four Nations.
This isn’t going away. Things could change but NHL go along with IIHF federations on this.
