@TMZ Why does this feel like an SNL skit

@atrupar What a fucking disgrace.

If you steal a paint chip it's 10 years in prison but take what you want from our Capitol, that's worth a pardon.

@atrupar A very stable genius 😒

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.

America First.

Remember when everyone could agree Nazis and Pedophiles were bad? I miss those times

@BeschlossDC I don’t remember the bicentennial itself, but I do remember the joy of finding bicentennial quarters for years. Still have a jar of them.

Freddy, we’ve got a great thing going down here in sweet home Alabama & would greatly appreciate it if you didn’t tell anybody. Thanks👊

If anyone harms a hair on this man’s head while he’s enjoying America I’ll make it my life’s mission to hunt them down and destroy them

Wait wait wait… let me clutch my pearls properly.

The “bombshell” is Talarico dated a woman he worked with, who wasn’t even his staffer?

My God. A grown man dated a grown woman. In Texas. Somebody put the brisket in the storm shelter.

Y’all spent year calling him a gay vegan communist, and now the article accidentally discovered heterosexuality.

Remember when we were told women were too emotional to be president

@kwelkernbc @NBCNews @MeetThePress Thank you so much for pushing for answers on issues. I miss days where this was the norm. More of this please.

What's amazing to me is that, 10 years apart, there are the exact same clouds in the exact same positions.

DC truly is a magical place

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops.

These are sick, corrupt people.

@AlafrigginBama Sick on my couch in Tuscaloosa. Had a ticket to the game and could hardly give it away. Heard the stadium reaction in my apartment. Definitely memorable in the best/worst way.
