We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation. The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them. We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed. (Photo: https://buff.ly/4jd1BiU)

There it is, MAGA. Your deranged, dilapidated dullard Donald trump won't receive ANY prison time, but he's now officially a CONVICTED FELON. He's the ONLY so-called President to enter office as an adjudicated rapist and a convicted felon. Congratulations.

Dear Greenland: I invite you to look into how the United States has "cherished" and "protected" Puerto Rico, especially after Hurricane Maria. You'll thank me.

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at 100. He taught us about compassion, empathy & kindness from watching him here when he was hurt & persevered to do what he loved best at Habitat For Humanity! He inspired us to be better humans. What an incredible person & gift he was. May he rest in peace.🙏💜

One of the best things about Jimmy Carter is how he'd board his Delta flight and shake every person's hand on that plane. His presidency was not terribly great, but he was a great man and true public servant.

The thing about the damning House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz, in which he is credibly accused of statutory rape and sex trafficking, is that Speaker Johnson tried to bury the report and prevent the public from ever learning about it.

Matt Damon: “A teacher wants to teach.” The son of a public school teacher, he defends teachers as heroes we should be grateful for rather than villains we should be threatening to punish — as pro-privatization forces would have us believe.

Who had “going to war with Panama over the Canal” on their 2025 bingo card? Trump’s statements are so impossibly inane. Stupid didn’t begin to describe it. He’s a first rate fool and a horse’s ass.

WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD. GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility. Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

Myth: “We can’t just keep printing money.” Yes we can. And we do. The Q is what are we spending it on? Is it lifting up regular people? Is it getting people healthy so they can be productive? Lowering housing costs? ETC. Or is it just inflating the wallets of billionaires?

Our message to the media: We are either pushing back on the slide into authoritarianism, or we are enabling it. There is no third option. Both sides-ism is how we got here. As Christian Amanpour said: “Be truthful, not neutral.”

In elementary school, my teacher told my mother I was “unteachable.” I was behind in every subject, including reading. Then I found this one book in the school library and connected with it, reading it hundreds of times. I made a career in reading, writing, and editing.That’s what a book can do.

Good. Matt Gaetz ran from his job to stop this report from being released and bury the truth from the American people. Now the question is this: will Marjorie Taylor-Greene make good on her promise to release the sexual harassment reports on her GOP colleagues? www.cbsnews.com/news/matt-ga...

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that much more media attention needs to be directed to the fact that Republicans' main witness against Hunter Biden pleaded guilty for lying about him. If it was trump, they'd still be screeching about "lawfare." DO YOUR JOBS!
