“Woman who first spread Springfield rumor regrets it.” “I deleted the post. I was wrong. I messed up royally. I never meant to cause so much hate.” This woman has more courage than JD Vance. Please share this video far and wide.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this.

Difficult for those who didn't live in that world to imagine 4 to 6 U.S. networks with multiple fully-staffed bureaus around the world. Breaking international news stories would deliver live, updated satellite reporting by veteran reporters who disdained punditry. Gone & missed.
Wanted Russia coup news. Turned on CNN. Still leading with the submersible. Sheesh

I’m no economist, but since the WGA went on strike YESTERDAY, the studios have lost almost $10 billion in value, enough to fund every ask the writers made for 25 years

Hate when that happens. I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had no respect for the privacy of me as an 18 year old school shooting survivor or my staff. She was self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.
I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son. They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views. They are self righteous, insane, and completely out of control. I was sitting at my table, working with my staff, and never even noticed these people until they turned into demons. People used to respect others even if they had different views. But not anymore. Our country is gone.

Imagine being so hated that you lost a rigged election on a platform you control to a candidate that wasn’t even named?

Our @ObamaFoundation Leaders are working hard to tackle some of our toughest challenges. It was great having some of them join @TrevorNoah and me on @TheDailyShow to share more about their work.

An estimated 4.6 million children and teens live in homes with at least one loaded, unlocked gun. On National Injury Prevention Day, #BeSMART and #BeInjuryFree: Make sure guns are inaccessible to kids, and—where possible—stored unloaded, locked and separate from ammunition.

Always read the footnotes: This Georgia judge has some thoughts about the five-justice majority that overruled Roe v. Wade. (He's right.)
A Fulton County judge has overturned Georgia's ban on abortion that begins when a doctor can detect a fetal heartbeat, which is as early as six weeks. Here's the ruling: #gapol documentcloud.org/documents/…

COVID, much like Sandy Hook, has demonstrated that, once society is completely divorced from basic human empathy, there's no recovering from that. If it's okay for a million people to die, then there's nothing you can't justify.

This is cringeworthy. A British TV presenter from @GBNEWS - likened to the Fox News of the UK - pushed back against a meteorologist to be happy as the country was about to break heat records. Life imitates art like in the tragicomedic movie #DontLookUp. ⬇️ – at Attiki, Greece
A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

Gifting this @nytimes piece because it is so important and the forced birthers are claiming 10 year olds--or any young girl--should be forced to carry a baby to term. No, they should not. Here's why: nytimes.com/2022/07/18/healt…

Is it okay to say "I'm from Boston" if you're really from the 'burbs? #Boston #Massachusetts

America, which sets out to be a beacon for democracy and freedom, has taken a dangerous step towards oppression. A constitutional right granted almost half a century ago has been torn up econ.st/3bjXl2p

We are voting to protect kids from the next school shooting. Every GOP member is opposed. So I asked my GOP colleagues, "Who are you here for? Our kids or the killers."

Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined. Think about that. For God’s sake how much more carnage are we willing to accept?
