@IngrahamAngle We’ve been trying to get Trump to stop but he just keeps messing with it and making it worse. Here you go:

I urge Trump to stop vandalizing govt property by employing people with our tax dollars who don’t know what they are doing.

Fact check- Juneteenth was passed by the US Congress.

Unanimous in the Senate.

415-14 in the House.

"When I saw my name on Trump’s newest enemies list, the absolute last thing I was going to do was the same thing all of those other cowards did by folding to Trump, getting themselves out of trouble, and not thinking about the effect it was having on everyone else. I have an opportunity here - in my small corner of the internet - to walk the walk, instead of just talking the talk. So if Trump wants to come after me and content creators, go for it. We’ll be even louder than before. If this self-proclaimed free speech champion wants to clamp down on my right to speak out against him, then I’ll do it twice as loud. And if me doing so gives a permission structure for the next person to fight back instead of capitulate, then I’ve done my job."

I hope organizers of the 2028 Los Angeles @Olympics are watching what is happening with the #WorldCup.

International competitions only work when participants from around the world can attend. If the U.S. is unwilling or unable to facilitate entry for people from qualifying nations, we should reconsider whether we are ready to host global sporting events. #Olympics2028 #WorldCup

Kristen Welker did a solid job pushing back.

What bothered me was the ending.

Instead of pleading, “Please Mr. President, I flew all the way to Wisconsin,” she should’ve reminded him of the office he holds:

“You’re the President of the United States. You should be able to handle tough questions without getting angry and walking away.”

This is cult-level insanity.

@shannonrwatts Platner is a fighter. That's his whole campaign shtick.

"Be ruthless with systems and kind to people".

That's what people want for the moment. He will benefit from the controversy and attention.

The landings were enabled by thousands of codebreakers, signallers, nurses, factory workers and intelligence assets - many of whom were women.

What a ridiculous hill to die on on today of all days.

@michaeldweiss I mean, the President just posted this today, so... maybe we got bigger problems

@marchone23 @Acyn If 'most significant' means 'most destructive', I'll concede your point

@HelloLauraKelly DOGE gutted our disease surveillance teams. CDC is asking for 'volunteers' to monitor incoming flights now

(Historically, however, disease exclusion at points of entry has never been effective.)

@BCarfree @drseanmullen I assume 'Political Health staff' was a typo..?

But wow -- SPOT ON!

[Lost_but_upright @LostButUpright]

@EdgeOfInsane63 @drseanmullen @yeepoa No, it literally is NOT an oversimplification

Enough with the obfuscation and mental masturbation defending droplet theory!

@_CatintheHat @1goodtern How is it that random people on the internet -- like you (& me) -- understand epidemiology and risk management better than MDs and MPHs with years of education?

The 'Precautionary Principle' is such a simple concept

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

WTF are we doing and allowing to be done?

[Acyn @Acyn]

MacFarlane: There are so many Republicans coming out against this thing. It appears to me that this slush fund is like as popular as poison ivy or a dinner plate full of vegetables. Nobody is claiming ownership of this thing. I have zero statements of support for this fund from any congressional Republicans.

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

Like all the newly-retired lawmakers who pull me aside and say "now that I'm out of office, I can push for bold deficit reduction." Dude, you had a whole career to do the right thing when it mattered. You're just admitting that you knew better but didn't have the courage.

Officer Brian Sicknick's family did not receive a single penny but trump is out here trying to make the people who murdered him millionaires.

@1goodtern Local news reports say it's unrelated to the cruise ship.
