@Martina @jk_rowling Thank you for your leadeship for women’s rights. I have a daughter and a granddaughter who will benefit from what you do.

[W. Stephen Gardner @WStephenGardner]

@ClassicFM I very much enjoyed hearing Anne-Marie discussing the service of her grandfather, George, during and after World War II. As with all who served in the name of freedom, thank you!

Among the most important elements of a strong execution strategy is knowing when to stay long and strong, and knowing when to pivot.

When the facts or data are inconsistent with the intended outcome, it makes sense to consider a change of direction.

If a journalist finds himself inadvertently included in a chat group with senior military and civilian leadership about a military operation, should he continue to listen or sign off?

In the alternative, if a journalist overhears a conversation in the adjoining hotel room which begins to reveal critical U.S. intelligence, should he listen more carefully to learn as much as possible, or should he step away so the intelligence remains private?

Should he reveal that the intelligence breach occurred if it harms our country, or should he share it with the world?

What do journalistic ethical standards say on the above?

@Scaramucci @elonmusk There was a time in our history when all Americans would have been following the story of our stranded astronauts. Thank you for trying to bring us together to pray and cheer for their safe return home. God bless those trying to save our astronauts.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

.@elonmusk is sending a spaceship to retrieve two of our astronauts that have been stranded for the last nine months. Whatever our political disagreements may be in this country, this is an amazing achievement. We are all Americans and
I say: Thank you.

Why on earth did Columbia University receive $400,000,000 in the first place? That’s an enormous amount of money. That’s not a grant. That’s an absurd, ridiculous, outrageous level of spending. Where else is the Federal government giving money away??

Thank you, President Trump, for standing up for the American people and our nation on the global stage.

@JeffBezos Hope WaPo will drop the firewall for a couple of months on the opinion pages to let the public see the changes.

During my senate campaign in 2022, I met a Ukrainian-American man in NE Ohio. He was very angry about my views on the conflict, and my desire to bring it to a rapid close.

"You are trying to abandon my country, and I don't like it."

"Sir, I replied, "your country is the United States of America, and so is mine."

I always found it offensive that a new immigrant to our country would be willing to use the power and influence of their new nation to settle the ethnic rivalries of the old.

One of the most important parts of assimilation is seeing *your* country as the USA. It's part of the bargain: if you're welcomed into our national family, you ought to look out for the interests of the United States. I know many immigrants who have the right perspective, and I'm grateful to them. For example, I met many Ukrainian Americans during that campaign (and since) who agreed with my views, or at the very least, asked the right question: what is in the best interests of the United States?

In perhaps the greatest single declaration uttered since“Ich bin ein Berliner,” Vance in Munich declared a type of "Ich bin ein Amerikanisch": “If you are running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people that elected me and elected President Trump.” https://t.co/bpzRiwst7R

[Congressman Wesley Hunt @RepWPH]

You’re MAD at @ElonMusk for uncovering fraud, but you’re NOT MAD at the people who wasted YOUR money?

Make it make sense.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Great speech by VP @JDVance!
