Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Yikes — science awards show breakthrough Prize edited out Seth Rogen’s jabs at the thin-skinned oligarchs in attendance (Brin, Zuckerberg) for funding Trump, who attacks science.

They claim it was edited for time. 🤔 (that claim has not been peer reviewed)

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.

Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.

Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

Last year, Vance told the (probably apocryphal) story about Andrew Jackson saying “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” on a podcast — and framed it as an aspirational tale.

It’s worth noting that the end result Vance found so inspiring was the Trail of Tears.

I live in TN, and my senators are Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty. I have called them, but it's just a voicemail. I saw where Republican senators claimed that they aren't getting calls. Well, I called.

If these questions are designed to hire people with no grasp on reality, U.S. national security is at significant risk.

Was Jan. 6 “an inside job?”

Was the 2020 presidential election “stolen?”

Who were the “real patriots” on January 6?

Who won the 2020 election?

Who is your “real boss?”
U.S. intelligence, law enforcement candidates face Trump loyalty test
Candidates for top intelligence and law enforcement jobs were asked to give “yes” or “no” responses to questions such as: Was Jan. 6 “an inside job?”

Trump "turning the water on" in California is a further reminder that heedless directives by the commander in chief can have consequences.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist.

Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.

Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.

It's that simple.
