Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Greetings from Kyiv.

Today, I visited the exhibition Art is Everywhere – showcasing prints by Ukrainian artists, past and present.

It’s held at the Central Department Store (yes!),
and everyone can buy an art print there. I love this idea.

I have not had an alcoholic drink for five months. My mother was a Pioneer, who signed the Pledge aged 18, and only ever took a medicinal if she was unwell - which was rarely - with something like the flu. It has not been easy!

Brilliant, thrilling, fast-paced middle grade adventure. Set in an alternative history (which gives it a little fantasy vibe, though it isn't), it's like a cross between Oliver Twist and James Bond. Highly recommended and I cant wait for the next in the series. #kidlituk 💙📚

Despite the safeguards the Founders built into our system of government to protect us from would-be dictators, they never imagined a populace so filled with hate they would sabotage the entire country to hurt some others. Billionaires couldn’t make better supporters in a lab.
