Maturity doesn't mean stopping dreaming; age is just a number. I still look forward to new scenery, new stories, and a sincere and warm connection.

Eight months into Trump’s war, Americans are facing growing threats beyond the battlefield. US Intelligence is warning that Iranian plans to kill Americans overseas have reached “advanced stages.”

A conservative California county moved to restrict mail-in voting, reigniting debate over election access. Elections should be secure, fair, and trustworthy without making voting harder for eligible citizens. Shouldn't the system make it easier for Americans to participate?

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

At some point, voters will understand that corruption and unregulated corporate greed are deepening an unsustainable wealth gap. We need to rise above the scare tactics are designed to distract and divide us.

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

Known as "The Voice," Frank Sinatra defined the golden age of American music. Starting as a 1940s teen idol, his velvety baritone, impeccable swing, and cinematic style captivated the world. A legendary icon who truly did it his way.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

This thing has made me go do a lot of reading tonight, and the Wikipedia page about the last public execution in the United States is well-written. It was Rainey Bethea, a Black man hanged in front of a crowd of 20,000 in 1936, a spectacle which embarrassed Kentucky enough that they ended hangings.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

Alabama Republicans voted against funding the bridge. Biden got the money approved. The bridge got built. Now Trump wants his name on it, and Republicans have made that the priority. Vote against it. Take credit for it. Put your name on it.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Imagine waking up after Election Day and the biggest story is historic voter participation. Millions showed up, stood in line, mailed ballots, voted early, and made themselves impossible to overlook. Be part of that story. #Pinks 📰

Jimi Hendrix revolutionized rock by playing a flipped right-handed Strat left-handed. From setting his guitar on fire at Monterey to his sonic Woodstock anthem, he turned feedback into wild art. 🎸

Jack Smith deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the next non-criminal president.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

US Ambassador to Greece has to be one of the greatest jobs you can get. You can represent your country in a beautiful place with great people and amazing food. But Guilfoyle had to go straight to plotting, scheming, and generating controversy. Because of course she did.

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

Stock Trades by Presidents While in Office: Bill Clinton: ZERO George W. Bush: ZERO Barack Obama: ZERO Donald Trump (first term): 517 Joe Biden: ZERO Donald Trump (second term): 24,000+, averaging >60 trades per trading day. This is why the crook in the Oval Office manipulates the markets.

Are they not even trying to hide the cheating anymore?

Does ANYONE actually believe this? 😂 Another Trump cheque. Another election promise. Vote for me now, trust me about the money later. At this point, Trump’s promises are worth less than the imaginary cheques. #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

JD Vance: “I wouldn’t call it a war.” Trump: “It’s small potatoes.” Meanwhile Iran is still firing at U.S. allies and American taxpayers are still footing the bill. Maybe words matter less when you're trying to make a six-month conflict disappear before the midterms. 🤷‍♀️ apnews.com/article/iran...

Last year, when he notoriously claimed to have renamed another large body of international waters, @mapquest.com even responded, to say this: #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Mark Hamill@markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Seems the Orange 🤡's renaming Lake Ontario is just as popular as his renaming The Gulf of Mexico, which is... NOT AT ALL. Instead of working on lowering prices, his focus on B.S. like the Ballroom, Helipad & putting his name on the Kennedy Center is the perfect Midterm strategy...for the DEMS!

The president’s brain is broken. The Republicans who control our government refuse to do anything about it because they care more about their money and power than the nation’s safety.
