Though the loss of the ReidOut is a disturbing tragedy, I know that Ms. Joy is going to continue to bring truth to the fight and I look forward to being with her in the battles to come. Love you my sister.

Joy on our crisis of democracy: "Tonight on our final ReidOut, we’re going to talk about what people are actually doing to resist this and get some great advice from some of our favorite friends on what more we can do."

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Hey Jim- You were the best that @cnn.com had to offer & will be deeply missed! I look forward to the next chapter in your career & I'm not just saying that because of the killer Yoda impression you did when I was on your show.

Big hearts to Costco Diversity has been proven to yield better results.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Hey everyone! The discussion I had with Officers Fanone and Dunn about their thoughts and feelings on the fourth anniversary of Jan 6 attack was so important, that I lifted the paywall. Please take a look, it’s very powerful adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/special-ja...

Thanks to all who were concerned if our house survived the fires. Amazingly enough... it did. My heart goes out to everyone who weren't as fortunate, not only in my neighborhood, but all of Los Angeles. Together, we will get through this! ❤️-mh

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Happy birthday Jesus

Shout out to all the local Pakistani and Chinese restaurants and their staff who will be working Christmas. As the manager at Royal Kabob told me, "Brother, we're always open. Even on the Day of Judgement, we'll be open." Respect.

A fair question.

Merry Xmas Eve EVE to those who celebrate. 🎅🎄☃️ 🎁❄️

the feds: stop trying to turn this guy into some cool antihero with a badass public image also the feds: *treat him like they’ve captured the joker*

New pic of a drone over New Jersey.

Perfection.

This woman gives 💯 in everything she does. She’s a tireless advocate who doesn’t take no for an answer. She & I fight for what is right. We’re fiercely loyal friends and we won’t back down from a challenge. When it comes to chosen family, I’m proud to call @jasmineforus.bsky.social, my sister. ♥️

Explain this, humankind

“Today’s neuroprostheses are not about superhuman powers. They’re about human ones: moving without thinking much about it, experiencing one’s body as one’s self.” Rivka Galchen talks to the surgeon and the engineer who are reimagining the prosthetic limb.
