My grandfather never told war stories (apart from fun ones, like the time he and the guys liberated a crate of scotch from the British officer's club while in England). Once, on a D-Day anniversary, he mentioned hitting the beach in Normandy and having to walk over countless fallen Americans who had landed before him.
Remember.
Terribly sad news from Jack Rakove. Gordon Wood passed away in a traffic accident.
Perhaps the greatest historian of the American Revolution. May he rest in peace.
This LEGO video is hilarious.
But the fact that people halfway around the world are trolling trump about the Epstein files more aggressively than many American media outlets should embarrass the hell out of us.
Don't stop talking about the Epstein files.
JAKE TAPPER WILL NEVER BE HUGGED BY ELTON JOHN OR RESPECTED

Jake Tapper: “Democrats just want Joe Biden to go away.”
Reality: At a crucial moment for Democrats heading into the midterms, state parties in blue states and red states alike are not running from @JoeBiden.
They are embracing him.
He is selling out fundraisers, raising real money, and helping Democrats organize for the fight ahead.
The press has never understood Biden because he was never part of their elite class. He wasn’t built for their cocktail-party approval. He was built for working people, and real Democrats know it.
So why do we keep letting losers like Tapper, Thompson, and the rest of the failed political media lie when reality is plain as day?
Democrats love President Biden.

📸 .@JoeBiden and Trump this week.
Guess which one @jaketapper and @AlexThomp attacked over his health, AGAIN?
Not the guy falling asleep on camera.
Their Biden obsession is pathetic, dishonest, and exactly why people don’t trust the political media.
History won’t remember them as brave truth-tellers.
It will remember them as the sellouts who helped normalize the madness.

President Joe Biden receives LGBT Ally Champion Award at the Stonewall Awards
After headlining a fundraiser for South Dakota Democrats on Friday, Joe Biden showed up in Philly to be honored for his decades of LGBTQ+ advocacy.
They could have invited Obama, Clinton, or any other “hot” political name.
They chose Joe Biden.
Why? Because they know the truth: no president has done more for LGBTQ+ Americans than Joe Biden.
They have his back because he’s always had theirs.
And to Jake Tapper’s shagrin, no wheelchair was in sight.

I’m not saying Graham Platner should or shouldn’t be a candidate for a Senate seat, but I am saying that the media’s treatment of Platner as compared to its treatment of Ken Paxton is the same as the media’s treatment of Joe Biden as compared to its treatment of Donald Trump. The media bolsters the MAGA narrative that there’s never a decent Democrat nor an indecent MAGA Republican.
So the "ballroom" will have a bunker underneath and a "DronePort" on top. It's not just a childish extravagance. It will be a kind of military encampment.
All the more reason, obviously, for Congress to stop it.
In their Feature, Alana Frederick & Judge Newsom develop a statutory-interpretation method of “contextual textualism” that privileges ordinary understanding over ordinary meaning. Whereas meaning is sterile and clinical, understanding is gritty and awash in real-world context.
In 2024, President Biden released a six-page physical packed with real medical history, medications, labs, conditions, and specialist reviews.
The press, including Ed, still beat the hell out of him and @K_JeanPierre.
Tonight, Trump releases a 3-page propaganda memo pretending he’s Superman while admitting he’s 238 pounds, on cholesterol drugs, taking aspirin, had swelling and bruising, and was told to lose weight.
And the press shrugs.
That cowardly, useless, access-obsessed double standard is exactly how we got here.
Biden gave them a medical report and got dragged for months.
Trump gave them fan fiction on White House letterhead, and they clap like trained seals.
Sick.
BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case!

This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
Grant Hill shares what his mother taught him about living with purpose and why values are verbs.
"Number 7 on her set of principles reads: 'Don't be a passenger in life.'"
"She knew that values aren't ideas. Values are verbs."
Character comes from what you do and what you do consistently.
Then he broke it down:
1. "To respect means that we give others grace even if we disagree."
2. "To include means that we pull more chairs up to the table. We don't fear different voices."
3. "To excel means doing the work not just talking about the standards."
Values without action are just words on a wall.
It doesn't matter what you say, it matters what you do and how you live.
Choose to take ownership of what you do and don't just watch by as a passenger.
