On this July 3rd, my local @AMCTheatres has SIX theaters showing the new Minions movie and only one theater showing “Young Washington”. Of course it’s sold out. 🙄 Terrible planning. Do better, AMC 🇺🇸

"There is a phrase in the Catholic Church for a certain kind of believer: the cradle Catholic. It means the one who was born into the faith, baptized before he could speak, raised inside the rituals so completely that he never had to choose them. He did not convert. He did not study his way in or have a come-to-Jesus moment that brought him to the church door as a grown man. The cradle Catholic was simply always there. And the church has a quiet worry about him, an insecurity, because the thing you are handed in the cradle is the thing you are most likely to take for granted. The convert had to earn the faith and so he knows exactly what it is. The cradle Catholic risks practicing out of habit a thing he has never once had to defend.

"I have come to think there is such a thing as a cradle American, and that many of us now are one. We were born into freedom the way the cradle Catholic was born into the faith. We did not convert to freedom. Most of us under seventy did not serve in the armed forces or march for it or risk our families. We were born into this land where the rights were already written down and the laws made. And like the cradle Catholic, we are in danger of losing the greatest thing we have ever been given, because a freedom you have never had to defend is a freedom you do not know how to defend."

@MaxieJaxn @FixingEducation Would love to know that company if you’d DM it to me, please.

@camolNFT @FreddyLA7 This happened recently to my spouse. We begun to wonder if these a-holes are just bots created to destroy morale in America.

@Blazed0utGaming @frankenstein897 And you’re writing like a 20 year old who plays video games in their parents’ basement. Bro, it’s not that deep. Go touch grass.

@TheCrusaderGal Ours didn’t. I had family members at three of the Masses (including the vigil) and all received homilies by the celebrant.

@SteveLovesAmmo My parents owned a restaurant. I was working as soon as I could reach things. 🤣 All four of my sons have also worked before they were of driving age as well.

@NJGOP Cape May County stepped up on a big way! It was wonderful to see and this NC resident has added them to her bucket list! 🏖️

[Americans for Prosperity @AFPhq]

80% of Americans want a vote on the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act. 81% want Congress locked in D.C. until the budget is done.

The people have spoken. Congress should act.

@RepBaumgartner Washington AND Oregon missing was so sad! I’m traveling to both in July and was really disappointed!

@ZitoSalena Good to hear! Now let’s get Alaska and Hawaii to show up! If Guam can be there, why the heck can’t they??

@ErinPugh6780 @Brett_Jensen @NC_Governor Arizona had the longest line—or maybe a tie with Florida. They were only letting a few in at a time to see their very cool and immersive display.

@Brett_Jensen @NC_Governor Um…excited middle aged people like getting their passports stamped too…not just teens. 🤣

@SassySouthern2U It was a video of the history of the state and the pic was snapped at that frame. 🙄

@tweetmobb Time blindness! 🙄

@heynavtoor I had an 8th grader accused of using AI by a visiting instructor. I defended her writing because I knew her abilities. If we are going to remove the uncertainty of whether or not their writing is their own, we have to get sample writings—by hand—at the beginning of class.
