OMG! @DanRather retweeted my tweet! My favorite journalist, the kind of journalist I wanted to be! I’m so honored!
I highly recommend reading “What Unites Us.” You won’t be disappointed a bit.

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer endorses James Talarico:
“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.
And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.
We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Walking down the streets at night and it’s all peaceful and no one bothers you.
The safest place a woman can wear jewelry at night and no one cares!

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
Brilliant work.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details — which are horrific and criminal.
It’s the growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.
For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/pr…

This is why the DOJ had to downplay its phony Cartel of Suns allegations against Maduro in its new indictment
Not only does the Cartel of the Suns not exists as a real criminal syndicate, it was literally founded by the CIA to traffic cocaine into American cities
Here's the 1993 60 Minutes report on how the CIA recruited a Venezuelan military officer, General Ramón Guillén Davila, to help them ship 22 tons of cocaine into American cities
The Cartel of the Suns disappeared once it lost its utility to the CIA, and was resurrected by the US government when it began targeting Venezuela
