I’ve hesitated directly sharing this — outside of a couple RTs — because that’s how I’ve handled it when I’ve been on lists in the past.

But I just remembered that kids in elementary school would make fun of me for having a Time Magazine in my backpack https://t.co/sy6IK0NlTl

She is nine years younger than her late brother.

NEW: Nearly 20 FBI agents were seen by @NBCNews gathered at Sen. Lindsey Graham's Capitol Hill residence just now. Capitol Police also on the scene.

A handful of FBI agents entered the home.

Two law enforcement sources say federal agents continue to investigate his death out of an abundance of caution.

There is no new evidence that has arisen since his death on Saturday night to indicate foul play.

This is Saeed Ghasseminejad, one of Reza Pahlavi’s top advisers, and he appears to be an absolute idiot.

Ahmadinejad appearing at a major funeral event for the Supreme Leader, an event critical to regime propaganda, does not mean he isn’t under house arrest or otherwise under the regime’s control.

House arrest does not necessarily mean someone is confined inside a home every second of every day.

The regime can permit or force a detainee to attend a tightly controlled public event under heavy surveillance and then return him to detention.

My God, this is who you monarchists pinned your hopes on?

[Saeed Ghasseminejad @SGhasseminejad]

This is from a few days ago, does that look like house arrest?

Jennifer Aniston has setup an Instagram broadcast channel where she drops pets in need of urgent adoption multiple times a day.

A friend of mine just adopted a dog he found through the channel!

UPDATE

After 12 state attorneys general, led by California’s Rob Bonta, filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount issued a blistering response accusing the states of distorting antitrust law and effectively protecting Netflix and Big Tech from stronger competition.

NEW: I just spoke briefly with the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone after President Trump recommended she serve as her late brother's interim replacement

"Actually, I'm just kind of like devastated right now," she said, declining to speak further about the potential appointment

Darline is a constituent of Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), who also told me: "I have faith in Gov. McMaster that he will make the right decision, but I would support the president's recommendation"

Why Trump wants Graham's sister to replace him temporarily in the Senate

And why he doesn't want Nancy Mace

“They were talking like they had Trump on speed dial,” @BOOSIEOFFICIAL told @NOTUSreports.

The legendary Sam Neill has died.

He was 78 and had been battling stage 3 blood cancer, but announced in the spring that he was cancer-free.

His family described his passing as “sudden and unexpected.”

So what secret Chabad cookbook does every Chabad house follow? At least ten different Chabad houses have served me the same Shabbat day sesame noodles. Nothing against the noodles, but I cannot in good faith believe this to be a coincidence any longer.

Graham then joked: "I can't die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out and do Israeli-Saudi normalization."
