The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) says that fireworks aren't just for Earthlings. Just take a look at this planetary nebula surrounded by distant galaxies as proof.

All of those memes demonizing people who just “stood by and said nothing” didn’t factor in that if they had spoken out in the moment, they would have simply been shot in the face by the Nazis.

The Gies Family said nothing, but their actions spoke volumes.

We resist with our actions.

This isn’t legal, Elon.

Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

So Def. Sec Hegseth changed the name of Ft Moore back to Ft Benning. As w/ Ft Bragg, they found another soldier with the same name to make it seem like they weren't just changing the name back to honor a Confederate.

But you should know who Ft Moore was named for. 🧵

A little laugh for today:
When your newspaper’s advert is a person staring directly at the sun with no context, you may want to reconsider your marketing strategy. Note the blinding light reflected off the subject’s eyeglasses 🤣🤣🤣
Just… why?!?

At today's briefing, WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who has banned the AP from covering Presidential events, was bragging about the success of Trump's anti-immigration efforts by citing a report from... the AP.

She then went on to brag about a Judge refusing to block her banning of the AP.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Holy shit. This is scary.

Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote.

$2 TRILLION IN CUTS.

The worst part 👇
