Wow. That’s difficult for me to imagine. I scroll political Twitter constantly, get endless news notifications on my phone, and feel weird if I spend less than 20-30min a day reading news articles.

@benryanwriter @TomVargheseJr No, i asked if she ever went to news websites, and she looked baffled. I asked her how she got news, and she said friends told her, or sometimes celebrities posted news on Instagram. I tried to figure out her politics, but she didn't seem to have any.

The best summary I've read on the major pitfalls of the Iranian war.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@spiderstumbled @MLFootball Seems like they're each living the dream of their respective genders. I see no issues.

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@spiderstumbled @MattH_4America Perfectly said. 🎯

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@MaggiexKara I wish it were still available to watch somewhere.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

"Congressman, President Trump today posted on Truth Social a video of him punching a baby in the face. Do you think that's appropriate?"

"I haven't seen the video."

"Congressman, the video has 138 billion views. You must be the only person on the planet who didn't see it."

"Ask anyone in the House or Senate caucus. None of us has seen it."

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@LePapillonBlu2 Would've been amazing if she said that to his face.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

@davidaxelrod @kaitlancollins This defense of Kaitlan isn't strong enough. In fact, it isn't a defense at all. How about calling out the incredibly misogynistic behavior by Trump and expressing sympathy for what Kaitlan had to endure?

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@kaitlancollins You did well, Kaitlan. Thank you for pressing him on this issue. Never back down from this pathetic misogynist.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

It would be so cool if we had an independent elected body to represent the will of the people and uphold the Constitution in the face of a growing executive tyranny.

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

This is terrifying. Fuck Trump and his fascist, evil goons. The regime isn't changing any of its tactics. This will continue for as long as he's in power, no matter what "softened" tone he uses.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@kylegriffin1 Part of Trump's deescalation, eh?

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Forrest Gump ran toward danger in Vietnam. Your boss ran to his podiatrist crying bone spurs.

Petty insults at the expense of people with disabilities won't change the fact that you're risking troops' lives to boost Chevron's stock price.

It's my job to hold you accountable.

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@CaitlinPacific Weird. Not on November 8, 2016?

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

Trump never cares for the tragic murder of innocents at his hands. Only how it "comes across" in the media.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

CNN: According to one official, Trump spent several hours on Sunday and Monday watching the coverage and was personally unhappy by how his administration was coming across.

Others say that Bovino, who became the face of Trump’s immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, only made matters worse by claiming Pretti intended to “massacre” federal agents.

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@spiderstumbled @agraybee Still haven't seen it. This description doesn't inspire me. 😅

[Daniel X-ennial @Vinyl_Blues]

@NormOrnstein Says a lot about who W has always been.

Good morning to every single person who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and Kamala Harris in 2024 and absolutely no one else.
