Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released on this day (Nov 28) in 1986. The film had originally been planned for release in mid-December. The studio believed this would allow it to maximize earnings because the film would be in theaters during the Christmas holiday.

The horrific situation in Sudan continues to concern me, and we cannot afford to overlook the atrocities happening in al-Fashir. It is imperative we press for more focus on the region and an end to this conflict.

Here's your positivity for the day. It took a die-hard fan 30 years to get the signature of every member of the 1995 Cleveland Indians to sign his bat.

Kenny Lofton was my favorite player when I was a kid, and it's great to see him step up for something like this.

We built a foreign aid system that supported American farmers, fed the world, and saved millions of lives — all for just 1% of the federal budget.

I'm damn proud of that legacy.

What Trump is doing to dismantle it is a shameful betrayal of the values that make America great.

As doctors, we take an oath to put our patients first.

When a woman comes to the ER, we don’t check her party affiliation. We provide the emergency care she needs to survive.

That’s our duty. That’s the law. And I’ll keep fighting to protect it. #EMTALA
