31.7% of all U.S. wealth is now owned by the the top 1%, the highest level ever recorded. It amounts to about $55 trillion. A 1% tax on that wealth would generate $550 billion a year. Amazingly, not though to balance the budget but certainly gets us closer.

It’s never too late to admit your faults. I appreciate anyone who realizes it, no matter how late.

"Planet Earth: You. Are. A. Crew." Artemis II mission specialist Christina Koch reflects on what it means to be a "crew."

Are we winning yet? Slower economy. Sticky inflation. U.S. military action threatens to cause a global recession. Thanks MAGA voters.

Hi! I’m Rise! About a week ago, I launched aboard the Artemis II mission with four of my besties. Since then, I have been serving a very important purpose aboard the Orion spacecraft… I float. (And I look cute.) Today, I am taking over the Artemis social media accounts! -Rise

“Cry uncle” is schoolyard bully talk. He’s a child and a bully. He’s saber rattling, but if he follows through he will have committed war crimes, if he has not already.

An hour after announcing his resignation, the US Army Chief of Staff says: "A madman is about to lead the great US military to ruin."

President Donald Trump violated the First Amendment when he issued an executive order defunding PBS and NPR, a federal judge ruled. ew.com/trump-pbs-npr-defund-…

Never forget that the House Republicans had a Senate passed bill in hand to fund TSA and they declined to pick it up for consideration. Stop the “it’s a Democratic shutdown BS.” Republicans have been blocking TSA funding for weeks.

Anonymous I run a small pizza shop. Deliveries mostly. Late nights. Got a call at 10 PM. Woman’s voice shaking. “Can you deliver to Sunset Motel?” “Yes ma’am. What would you like?” Long pause. “What can I get for six dollars? I have three kids.” Six dollars wouldn’t cover one pizza. “We have a special tonight. Family meal. Three pizzas, breadsticks, drinks. Six dollars.” No such special. She started crying. “Really?” Made the pizzas myself. Added wings. Cookies. Juice boxes. Drove it over. She opened the door. Bruises on her neck. Three little kids behind her. Terrified. Quiet. “Thank you. You don’t understand.” I did understand. Started happening weekly. She’d call. I’d have a special ready. Month three she didn’t call anymore. Worried me. Two months later she walked in. Different person. Confident. Had a job. Apartment. Kids looked healthy. Happy. Handed me three hundred dollars. “For all the specials that weren’t real. I knew.” Tried to refuse. “Please. Let me pay forward.” That money started a fund. When someone calls from a shelter or motel desperate, we use it. Six years now. Over a thousand meals delivered. She’s a paralegal. Refers families to us constantly. Works with domestic violence survivors. Her oldest is in high school. Works at my shop weekends. “Because you fed us when we were running. Now I want to feed others.” Last Saturday she delivered to a family at that same motel. Came back crying. “That was us five years ago. Now I get to be you.”

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation." RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

Oil up. Stocks down. Yes, this was an awesome idea.

For once, The Lincoln Project agrees with Trump.

Someone please explain why eliminating DEI is such a good thing? What is wrong with diversity, equity, and inclusion? Because what’s the opposite? Uniformity (homogeneity), inequity (injustice), and exclusion. Are those American values?

So many have said being inside the Bottle would be so much fun. Well, with the help of modern technology, @TangibleDreamer has given us what a peek inside her bottle might have looked like! The only difference is, the real life set was open on one side for the cameras! There was also an inset table with an oil lamp, not seen here. Aside from that, this represents what Jeannie would have seen anytime she was inside her bottle. -B & Team Eden #idreamofjeannie #barbaraeden #ClassicTV

🇺🇸 THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN REVENGE STORY 🇺🇸 ​The script couldn't have written it better. In 1989, Arthur Liu fled China as a political refugee after the Tiananmen Square massacre. He came to America with nothing but a dream for a free life. ​Decades later, his daughter Alysa Liu became the face of Team USA. ​But the CCP didn’t forget. Before the 2022 Beijing Olympics, the FBI uncovered a "brazen" spying operation. The target? Alysa and her father. The Chinese government tried to: ​Stalk them on U.S. soil. ​Intimidate her into silence. ​Pressure her to turn her back on the country that gave her family refuge. ​The FBI had to give them 24/7 security just so she could compete. 🛡️ ​She faced the intimidation. She refused to be a pawn. She walked away from the sport for two years to find her soul again—and then she came back with a vengeance. ​TODAY, THE STORY IS COMPLETE. In a flawless performance to Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park,” Alysa Liu just did the impossible. ​🥇 OLYMPIC GOLD. 🥇 The first American woman to win individual gold in 24 years. ​She didn’t just skate for a medal. She skated for the freedom her father risked everything for. She didn’t just win for herself; she won for the flag that protected her family when the world felt small. ​This is what a Patriot looks like. 🇺🇸✨ ​#AlysaLiu #TeamUSA #OlympicGold #MilanoCortina2026 #AmericanDream #FigureSkating #USA #Inspiration

Parliament voted 364 to 111 AGAINST a national inquiry into organised child exploitation. Not a debate about resources. Not a delay. A flat-out rejection. If there’s nothing to hide… why block the investigation?
