Celebrating the 101st birthday of Carroll O'Connor. The time when Carroll improvised a line during a live taping of All in the Family, and Rob Reiner almost lost it. 😂😂😂

This bill is literally taking food out of the mouths of children to give tax breaks to millionaires. It's wrong and it's immoral. I'm urging all my colleagues to vote no so we can start over and work together to deliver a responsible, bipartisan spending bill.

Celebrating Gilda Radner's birthday today with some of my favorite sketches of hers. The time she broke Candace Bergen in 1976 The Extreme Stupidly League.

An American icon. He changed the landscape of an entire genre while creating his own. He made every living artist up their game. He made you feel a season. Best of all, he was ours. Love you Brian Wilson.

The ongoing healing of the ozone layer is a powerful example of what global cooperation can achieve in the face of environmental challenges. More from @UNEP on the UN agreement that led to the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances: unep.org/news-and-stories/st…

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." - President Harry Truman

Aretha Franklin was born OTD in 1942. The Blues Brothers (1980) Mrs. Murphy was Aretha's only fictional movie role. Unsurprisingly, The Queen of Soul gives a blistering performance, pink slippers and all, which introduced her to a younger audience and reinvigorated her career.
