@Eowyn_the_Fair That was the only meaning she had ever associated with it!

@emilykmay @TheReal_RLS Curious how you chose to go about sharing that on ig. Just like a text-based story?

At a town hall with her constituents, Rep. Hayes schooled a MAGA supporter who tried to criticize her for supporting student loan reform

@lymanstoneky @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy They sure seem like opportunist grifters to me…

@sgtdaviddjjones @jzellis The iPhone is such a perfect example bc it’s made with tech from taxpayer funded research. AND the companies that make it (Apple and Foxconn) get MASSIVE tax breaks from state govs. 💀 “Socialized risk. Privatized reward.” https://t.co/yltIXeDOCT

Fantastic breakdown of how Kentucky got it done against Duke 👏

[Brandon Ramsey @BRamseyKSR]

Alright, folks, who is ready for our film breakdown thread of Kentucky's 77-72 victory over Duke in the Champions Classic?

This was REALLY fun to rewatch. Two high-level basketball teams battling it out. Let's step inside the KSR Film Room and have some fun tonight!

@DanielWendt7 @roddreher @lymanstoneky This whole thread mirrors my perspective on this pretty well but here’s a particularly important snippet

[Ben Taylor @Bentuckian]

@DanielWendt7 @roddreher @lymanstoneky I just think it’s fascinating to watch that debate and the main takeaway was the moderators’ fact checking. Trump was unhinged and Kamala easily baited him into spending about 60 seconds total on his actual positive points. Can’t blame the refs when you go 1/18 from the field.

[Ben Taylor @Bentuckian]

@asti2point @roddreher @lymanstoneky What is tds

[Ben Taylor @Bentuckian]

To me the clear takeaway was this:

Trump so rarely takes criticism or direct challenge to his face. A snowflake coddled in bubble wrap living in a padded cell.

You could see just how unprepared he was for Harris to burst it w/ basic decency & intelligence.

@lymanstoneky Do you think the moderators wouldn’t be accused of bias if they were cutting him off more?

[Ben Taylor @Bentuckian]

He’s been saying this for literally nine years.

[Igor Bobic @igorbobic]

Asked if he has a plan to replace Obamacare, Trump says "I have concepts of a plan" and that people will be hearing about it in the "not too distant future."

@jonlovett Wait… on LOLI last night you randomly guessed that Dec. 18 was the day the Archduke Ferdinand was killed. Which is only incorrect because that’s the date he was born. 😧
