My beloved aunt Joan Bennett Kennedy, former wife of the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA), classical pianist, music teacher, and advocate for mental health and addiction services, passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home in Boston, Massachusetts yesterday at the age of 89.
She was my friend, confidante, and my partner in recovery. Joan inspired me with her courage and humility. She was one of the first prominent women in America to publicly acknowledge her struggles with alcoholism and depression, a move that she felt was essential to breaking the silence and tackling the taboo of addiction in the 1970s. Her honesty and candor, and her ability to successfully recreate her life in Boston, a community that supported her privacy and embraced her recovery, made her an inspiration to countless other women facing similar challenges. She encouraged many family members in early sobriety.
At age 25, in 1962, Joan was the youngest wife of a U.S. Senator in United States history. She was a kind and generous aunt to me and my 27 cousins. She was the last survivor of an extraordinary generation of Kennedys. We all feel grateful for the time God gave us with her.
We are heartbroken that Ron Turcotte, Secretariat's Triple Crown-winning jockey, has passed away at age 84. Ron was a great jockey, a great man, and a great friend, and we will miss him dearly. Please read about Ron's inspiring life and legacy: https://t.co/mIFmZhiq1O
Canada quietly admits what many suspected: Canada’s counter-tariffs hit CUSMA-exempt goods.
Today, Ottawa rolled them back—OJ, peanut butter, wine, etc.
If they were never allowed in the first place, why did Canadians pay higher prices for months?

We remember Ron Turcotte, the Hall of Fame jockey who rode Secretariat to glory in the 1973 Kentucky Derby.
His legacy lives on beneath the Twin Spires and in the hearts of racing fans everywhere.
Since Carney took office, U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods have skyrocketed:
🇺🇸 Jan: 10%
🇺🇸 March: 25%
🇺🇸 June: 50% (steel/aluminum)
🇺🇸 August: 35% on more sectors
If this is what a “world-class negotiator” delivers, we might need a refund.
Reaction to Stephen Colbert getting fired by CBS. It takes a special type of arrogance to be making 16 million, losing 40 million and publicly bash the people paying your bills.

So true, they are like the kids in the school yard who started losing and left with their bats & balls! Or nets and hockey pucks! So losers and no flexibility!
