It’s been 10 years since we lost this musical genius. #Prince. 💙💜

Prince passed away 10 years ago today.

RIP, your music lives on.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.

In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.

This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

"My son always texts to say he's on his way home. So I open the door, letting his 17 year old cat, and 16 year old doggo know that he's on his way. This is them waiting for him. Though it was adorable, and wanted to share." ❤️

Children should always be our priority. Thank you for your examples, President Obama and Mayor Mamdani

Mayor Mamdani and President Obama read a picture book to a group of children.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

They just announced graduate fellowship offers 4 days ago so I would assume it’s open (for now at least).

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

Rachel Maddow on Stopping the Hagerstown ICE Detention Facility: This Is the Moment to Increase Pressure, Not Reduce It Rachel Maddow tells her audience that Hagerstown Rapid Response may be the blueprint to stop ICE camps nationwide.

"What we have learned is that local resistance works when it is persistent, scrappy, and deeply informed. This... fight has been built on facts, records, legal pressure, public health evidence, and relentless visibility..."

Solid tumors have a dead center. No oxygen. No blood flow. Just dead cells and nutrients sitting there.

Most cancer drugs can't survive in that environment. They get blocked. They break down. They never reach the core where the tumor is most protected.

Joyful moments of my day, waiting for the sun to set on Lough Neagh and behind me is this beautiful swan. 🦢

I'm thinking about all the people googling "Avignon papacy" or looking it up right at Wikipedia, and I love this for all of us.

It gives me hope.

This one thought he was superman.

My screen just got blurry 🥺

I'm not claiming to be a hero, but with every Cadbury MiniEgg I eat, that's a dog not getting chocolate poisoning.

I've saved so many dogs.

This is no dog. He’s a life size teddy bear 🧸🥺

BREAKING: We're challenging President Trump's executive order that aims to restrict mail-in voting.

Once again, the president is trying to seize power he doesn't have at the expense of our democracy.
