After 55 years, today is the last show. Every Sunday night as a young teen, I'd lay in bed and put my headphones on and make it to the Funny Five every week. Mondays sure would suck harder because of it, but hot damn was it worth it.

I salute the good doctor on his retirement.

This is just unreal. The level of panic in speech pathology groups is off the charts
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

"The issues is the same: Faulty sources of information."

Goddamn it, corporate media, why don't you just say it:

HE'S A FUCKING LIAR! HE'S A FUCKING LIAR! HE'S A FUCKING LIAR! HE'S A FUCKING LIAR! HE'S A FUCKING LIAR! HE'S A FUCKING LIAR! HE'S A FUCKING LIAR!
Whether Trump is sharing a "medbed" conspiracy theory that he sees in his social media feed, or calling Portland "war ravaged" based on what he's shown on TV, the issue is the same: Faulty sources of information.

Yet another reason of thousands for why we miss our USAID colleagues.

Moldova was able to break from Putin's economic control due in part to USAID projects over a decade ago helping them come into compliance with EU wine regulations and opening up markets so they weren't at the whim of Russia. Imagine the good that might have been done had Musk not gone all chainsaw.
The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election.

It won 51 seats - an outright majority.

Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership.

A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

National Guard troops serve an important role in helping our communities during real crises — but advancing the president's political agenda isn't one of them.

Military troops patrolling on our streets must not be normalized.
