People like Sir David Attenborough have taught and inspired so many and I wish that, on every day that ends with a y, we’d give them more airtime while giving those who drag us down far less airtime.
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.
If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

This is why we have due process; because random people speculating about things is a terrible way to run a government. Without due process, we're all just vigilantes.
At its core, that's what this is about. Due process and the rule of law. Everything else is window dressing.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

RFK Jr.'s HHS cuts include the entire LIHEAP team. Read that again. The entire team.
This leaves no federal staff to help the more than 5 million households that rely on affordable heating and cooling.
Without staff, the program is at risk of grindingto a halt.

But just the biggest story of THIS day. Yesterday was a National security breach that in any other presidency would have ended careers and led to months long inquiries. This weekend it was the president pushing his crypto coin. But it’s only Tuesday so worse is to come.
What’s happening to Social Security is the biggest story of the day:
☎️ Phone lines are overwhelmed & understaffed.
🖥️ Website has crashed four times in 10 days this month.
➡️ Staff are resigning, getting fired, or being pushed out in waves.
Donald Trump & Elon Musk are destroying Social Security.

Will Crenshaw retract this and demand secdef resignation if Goldberg releases more info that shows classified info?
I wonder how Crenshaw, who lost an eye while serving in Afghanistan, would feel if he learned that a Democrat-appointed defense secretary had accidentally shared plans for a strike in which Crenshaw was deployed.
Dan Crenshaw dismisses Hegseth texting war plans to a Signal group that included a journalist: "We gotta move on. If Secretary Hegseth says there was no classified information, I'll take him at his word."

This.
I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.
I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.
