@MaxMillerOH Just resign.

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime theguardian.com/world/live/202…

My heart breaks for the women who were sexually abused by Eric Swalwell. They were failed by a political system designed to silence victims and protect power. Thank you for your courage stepping forward. Eric Swalwell should be nowhere near any position of power, much less be the governor of California. He must resign from Congress and drop out of the race immediately.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

not to be too preachy, but if you feel bad for punch the baby monkey in japan, you should consider adopting an animal from your local animal shelter, as lots of animals need love. if you do so, please consider the long term commitment and don't adopt animals as toys

A group of 19 Buddhist monks completed their 2,300-mile journey to the nation's capital earlier this week as they spread messages of mindfulness, compassion and peace during their months on the road. In October, the monks and their rescue dog, Aloka, left Fort Worth, Texas, en route to Washington, D.C., for what they called “The Walk for Peace.” Along their journey, the monks from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center greeted well-wishers with blessings, smiles and thousands of peace bracelets as they marched toward the nation’s capital. “This world has been receiving so much anger and hatred and everything already — that is why it's coming back to us with all kinds of sufferings, all kinds of disasters,” the group’s soft-spoken leader, Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara, said at one of their final stops in Alexandria, Virginia. “We walk not to bring any attention to us, but we just hope that we raise awareness of peace to all the people who we'll meet along the road.” As their message resonated with thousands across the country and world, the group’s social media channels exploded, racking up millions of followers. Never taking a day off, some of the monks walked on foot, even in an ice storm and below freezing temperatures. Extreme weather conditions weren't the only challenge. In November, one monk had a leg amputated after he was struck by a vehicle while walking alongside U.S. Highway 90 near Dayton, Texas. And in South Carolina, Aloka, the now-famous “peace dog” began limping and required surgery. As he recovered, he largely rode alongside the monks in an escort vehicle, joining the group as they rested each evening. The monks completed their journey on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., where they pressed members of Congress to recognize Buddha’s birthday as a federal holiday. They planned to lead a public meditation before departing home to Fort Worth.

Trump's comment about Rob Reiner today really underscores that he's a narcissist. Someone this narcissistic can't fight for you; if you believe otherwise, you're a mark. You are just a pawn in his need for aggrandizement. Ten years after he descended on his golden escalator, he hasn't brought manufacturing back. In fact, manufacturing jobs contracted this year. His biggest accomplishment this term — the Big Beautiful Bill — was just more tax cuts for the rich and slashing government spending for the working class. His political appointments have thus far been nothing more than concessions to wealthy donors who supported his campaign. Many of these people are building the AGI robots that will replace you in ten years. If you dare to question him, he'll toss you aside like Marjorie Taylor Greene, no matter how much you stood by him in the past. He cares about nothing but himself. The most you'll get is a wildly racist remark on Truth Social, which makes you feel like he's fighting for you, but you are, again, meaningless to him. He feels nothing and believes in nothing except his own aggrandizement. His Saddam Hussein ballroom means more to him than policies that are supposed to help you.

What a legacy, @elonmusk apnews.com/article/myanma…

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right
