Senior national political correspondent, U.S. News & World Report. Something retweets something something. Views here are my own, not my employer's. Duh.

@libbyspencer hostile, unwanted physical contact

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

not a lawyer but technically yes. and Medea know that which explains the retreat.

[Leslie Marshall @LeslieMarshall]

That's assault!?

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

@msimpson32 sorry! never my intention! the president can veto a War Powers resolution, so without a 2/3 majority this is symbolic. Maybe potent politically, but symbolic.

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

respectfully, passing this without a veto-proof majority will not “put an end to this reckless, illegal war”

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

NEW: 4 Republicans just joined all Democrats to pass an Iran War Powers Resolution and put an end to this reckless, illegal war. 

I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this swiftly. Ending this war is a moral imperative.

@robyndanielle12 you are yet again confusing “reply”
with “answer” bc the cult requires it

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

uhhhh okay

President Trump calls reporters to the Oval Office:

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

@robyndanielle12 You forget that I read your posts from 2020-2024

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

@robyndanielle12 but please direct me to posts about Biden trying to help national parks. that would prove me wrong.

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

@robyndanielle12 you would havr been outraged

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

@robyndanielle12 I have lots of answers to this. What would you have said in June 2022 if Biden had diverted money from National Parks to clean up DC fountains? (Don’t bother answering, I know.)

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

@robyndanielle12 how often have presidents described ground-level, horizontal projects in terms of sky-scrapers?

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

this reminds me of Steven Wright’s joke that many people are afraid of heights but he’s afraid of widths.

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

uhhhh okay

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I'm pleased to invite @Wemby to our second Commission on Government Efficiency hearing on Wednesday June 10th 5-8pm, where we'll be asking the public for their thoughts on how government can run better. Would love to have you there for the whole time!

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

@ArmandoNDK well wait “played to have” is not “had.”

@senatorshoshana @zapier it was pretty weird. it said "well but if you cancel your A, then we also have to cancel your B, which you currently get for free." Me: No. I pay hundreds of dollars a year for that. Agent: "You're right. That's for pointing that out."

[Olivier Knox @OKnox]

I don't care that the AI customer service is soulless, I care that it lied to me about my account to keep me from canceling, and when I corrected it, it replied: "You're right, thanks for pointing that out."

[Shoshana Weissmann, Sloth Committee Chair 🦥 @senatorshoshana]

Yes it is important that customer service has deep emotion. And bfore AI they all worked amazing lmao
