@maggieNYT @jonathanvswan So glad you can sit on information and then get to profit from it with book sales. A real profile in courage.

@420mercymain69 Wow, cool story. What are the odds, you know, I mean, just one in a million.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

@aseitzwald Every summer our family would have a big reunion with lobster and steamers dinner at my grandparents’ home in Rockland. He was a barber, she was telephone operator. I never knew those lobsters we’d have were from Japan. You think you know a guy…

Say what you want, but having a socialist mayor is making a huge difference in my city. Every week I'm like, 'Wait... they're actually doing that?' I cannot believe this is happening.

@TrackingPhil If you truly loved him, you'd support his efforts to seek therapy and become a better man.

@CindyR4NH @NHSenateDems Please remain united in fighting any Artificial Intelligence data centers in New Hampshire! Public water and resources cannot be funneled into private profit.

[Shaker Road 🇺🇸🌈💜💙🌈🇺🇸 @ShakerRoad]

@DaniellaMicaela @NOTUSreports Nope, nope, nope. Talk to anyone struggling to make ends meet and feeling the feels of this economy. We’ve all been left behind by this corrupt system and we all want a fighter.

Would love it if you all would actually look at the policies he’s championing.

@KamalaHarris @XavierBecerra It should have been you, Madam VP.

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

The beauty of California is that whether you vote for the Democrat or the Republican for governor in 2026, both candidates plan to kill rail projects and build no housing.

@gayguycandleco Why just her? I'm curious why all the progressive men on this platform specifically blame Porter, and Porter only.

[Shaker Road 🇺🇸🌈💜💙🌈🇺🇸 @ShakerRoad]

@johhnyblueskies Now that's some Hunter Biden energy.

[Shaker Road 🇺🇸🌈💜💙🌈🇺🇸 @ShakerRoad]

@kclairerogers @GOLF_com Nooooooooooo! You're content was so good!

Happy trails, and I'm sure whatever is next will be just as great.

[Shaker Road 🇺🇸🌈💜💙🌈🇺🇸 @ShakerRoad]

@tedlieu Better math shows having two Dems shutting out a Republican is preferable. You’re part of the weak Dem problem.

[Shaker Road 🇺🇸🌈💜💙🌈🇺🇸 @ShakerRoad]

@ChuckRocha Unfollowed. All you do is post this shit instead of actual analysis. I thought you were the real deal, turns out you're just lazy like the rest of them.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

What the U.S. Senate campaign in Maine is all about.

@TheSoCalSound @DaddyDeyo You didn’t answer my earlier question if this was designed by an actual human artist.

[Shaker Road 🇺🇸🌈💜💙🌈🇺🇸 @ShakerRoad]

Our only hope now are the advanced civilizations of aliens who live deep in the ocean. They will rise up and stop the mineral mining.

Or maybe Cory Booker can do another big speech on the floor of the Senate. Either way, all hope is lost.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@TheSoCalSound Is it designed by an actual human artist?

[Shaker Road 🇺🇸🌈💜💙🌈🇺🇸 @ShakerRoad]

This is a worthy read. One of the biggest problems the oppositional elite lawyer D.C. class Democrats are facing here is they just don't understand what combat vets have faced. I've done veteran casework, and these folks have been put through the ringer.
