@66ersBaseball Fun turnaround tonight! Question for Steve…how have you adjusted to the change in the team’s affiliation? Is it hard to let go the Angels? Still enjoying your work. Thanks

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

@WhiteHouse Wow. Sure would be nice to have an actual Veteran on this poster.

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served. Today we honor the women and men who raised their right hand, served our country, and sacrificed so much for something bigger than themselves. I’m proud to have worn the uniform and to stand alongside so many incredible Americans who continue to serve in their own ways every day. Let’s honor their service by taking care of one another and protecting the country we fought for.

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

@WhiteHouse That’d be great. Can’t wait til you actually show respect for all who’ve served.

[Department of War 🇺🇸 @DeptofWar]

To every veteran, we thank you for your strength, sacrifice, and love of country.

America stands free because of you.

This is the first good news outta the Supremes since this administration began in Jan. Hallelujah.

One of my heroes. RIP

Jane Goodall has died at 91.

Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. https://t.co/axM4A5nkhh

@SecVetAffairs @DeptVetAffairs Your email should absolutely NOT express a political viewpoint as it does.

I wonder what the makers of Tylenol have done to deserve the wrath of this administration. Embarrassing anti-science hoodoo.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings.

And the @GOP will continue to do absolutely nothing while our kids are being gunned down.

This is sick.

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

Everyday I check a cherry blossom cam that captures the basin around Jefferson’s monument. Sadly, since the supposed crime crack down began, visitors to this amazing site has trickled to practically zero. On a gorgeous day in DC, no tourists are enjoying our Capital. So sad.

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

Nothing says “Welcome to our Nation’s Capital” like masked Federal cops and National Guard forces. Sheesh.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Can you possibly trust a President who can't spell, has serious problems with grammar, and capitalizes at random? I think not. A President who can't write can't think. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

@JonahDispatch Happy international cat’s day!!

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

When you serve, you have earned respect & payment.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are - and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.

Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, and harmful to our national security.

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

Compare this to SECDEF recent posting about women…

[MLB @MLB]

History ❤️

Umpiring first base for Game 1 of today’s Marlins-Braves doubleheader, Jen Pawol has become the first woman to umpire in a regular-season MLB game.

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

Our leadership should never talk this way! Beyond #disgusting

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

BREAKING: In an insane moment, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — head of the Pentagon — defends putting a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery. "We recognize our history... we're proud of our history."

So he's proud of... Confederate treason?

[Devin Duke @sirDukeDevin]

Real Americans love Canada.

[Melinda Sims @MelBobAZ]

Not so Great America…

[Travis Akers 🇺🇸 @travisakers]

Oh, come on. They’re kids. Let them play baseball in the LLWS, and chase their dreams. I want strong border security, but this is just clownish, cruel, and petty.
