How is it that black people do not understand that voting overwhelmingly for the Democrats hasn’t improved their lives one bit in decades?

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."
A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

It’s not a straight shot to the far side of the Moon! 🌕 Over approximately 10 days, the Artemis II astronauts will orbit Earth twice before looping around the far side of the Moon in a figure eight and returning home.

Paulette Jordan just won the Democratic primary for governor in Idaho. Meaning, she's now positioned to become the first female governor of Idaho--and the first Native American governor in the US.

SCANDAL ERUPTS: A broker for Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth explored a multimillion-dollar investment in defense stocks just weeks before the U.S.-Israel strike on Iran, according to the Financial Times. Per FT, a Morgan Stanley broker contacted BlackRock in February about allocating funds into a defense-focused ETF tied to contractors like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, companies that typically surge during military escalation. The investment ultimately did not go through, but the timing—given Hegseth’s central role in pushing Iran policy—is already raising major scrutiny. 🔗 ft.com/content/744ea8dc-6d93…

This is why Republicans are trying so hard to suppress the vote through their pathetic SAVE act. Maybe next time, do a better job running the country so most of the country doesn’t end up hating you.

Nice try. I took the Amtrak home. We tried to pay TSA almost a dozen times and Republicans said no every time. Then the GOP Speaker closed session last night and sent everyone home. Please Google what party is in charge of Congress right now. The answer may surprise you!
