Farewell to Diane Keaton, who brought a new. awakening rhythm to every performance she gave, with cadences, inflections and reactions that hadn't been seen in American film. Her charm and her style were original; her emotions ran deep. This will feel personal to many people.

If there’s someone important in your life who helped get you where you are try to let that person know how influential he or she has been. They will appreciate it, and you will feel great about acknowledging their impact. Condolences to his wife Susan and the Johnson family. RIP.

Keep calm and Larry on.
The Larrmaster today, posing beautifully and wearing one of his typical 'I may look snoozy, but underneath, I am alert and have it all under control' looks that he does so well, eh @Number10cat?

Wow, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google are getting 38% of the total cash savings from the part of Trump’s tax law going to corporations. That’s $15.7B to Amazon alone! https://t.co/l9AZth20RJ

Because it is a big lie, Jim. And everyone knows it.
We told you about the Russia hoax for years. @TulsiGabbard confirmed it. Why is the media silent?

One of the defining features of totalitarianism was how its leaders made war on experts, like the Soviet bureaucrats who boosted Lysenkoism. Dictatorial regimes *hate* experts, because experts reach conclusions based on evidence, not political expediency.
JUST IN! RFK Jr: "My opinion— I always tell people— is irrelevant. We need to stop trusting the experts. Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy-- it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." America, this is your HHS Secretary!

So basically, the future of this bill comes down to whether one Senator (Murkowksi) feels comfortable enough that she has shielded her state from the worst parts of this bill that the other 49 states (give or take a few) will have to endure?

He’s more likely here as a desperate last minute gambit to twist the arms of the last vote. The bill is a moral abomination and so not shockingly, after 22 consecutive hours of amendments and they still don’t have 50 votes.
Vice President Vance has arrived at the Capitol. He’ll likely be needed to break a tie on final passage if Republican leaders can flip Murkowski to yes

My organization, the American Mobilization Project, is funding a group of doctors and nurses organizing against Trump's Medicaid cuts. I was supposed to be with them in Michigan today as they phone bank Senators, but I'm stuck in DC. So I called their leaders to say thanks.

Some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten is to always have a way to work with your hands. Thanks Greenwich Democrats for organizing clean up and tree planning at Pomerance!
