Absolutely incredible takedown

A nice shot and chaser combo for everyone to enjoy on this Friday…

Rafael, oh Rafael, fuck you for making me defend El-Sayed and UM, but Beat Ohio is commonly said by Wolverine fans.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

What does it say that this 🤡 —who wants to represent Michigan—has never heard of Ohio State?

[Stephen Daisley @JournoStephen]

Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

TX: you want to build some "clean energy," son? sounds like gay communism. anway, here's your permit

CA: oh my Gooood yaaass kween clean energy!! but your 3,000 page report on harms to nonbinary snail communities wasn't sufficient for the HOA so see you in court for 30 years

When Dolly Parton lost the Oscar to Three Six Mafia, she sent them a letter congratulating them and saying she was proud they brought it home to Tennessee.

One of one. Never to be equaled.

[Marshall Mathers @Eminem]

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Dolly Parton is dead, and the church never knew what to do with her.

Half my feed is posting rhinestones today. The other half never trusted her, because she would not wear the uniform.

She never preached a sermon.

She just did the works.

One man. Fifty-eight years. In an industry that eats marriages. No scandal reel, no reality show, no trading up. Just Carl, and a promise kept until death did them part.

She could have built towers in Nashville. Instead she built in the mountains she came from, so the people she came from could work.

Two hundred million books. Given away to children, free, no strings, while the rest of us argued about what to read.

A million dollars for a vaccine in the middle of a plague, and she called it what it was: helping.

She was a feminist who never used the word, a superstar who never left home, and a believer who never made you watch her pray.

"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works." James 2:18.

We spent years asking whether she was one of ours.

She never asked whether we were one of hers. She was too busy feeding children.

I do not know her heart. That was never my job. I know her works, because the whole county she came from lives on them.

"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:20.

You want to honor her today? Put down the tribute post. Put a book in a kid's hands. Stay married. Do the works.

That was the whole sermon. She just never said it out loud.

[Justin Carter @juscarts]

okay but if the whole “thing” of this account is live tweeting news from 2001 as if it has no idea of the future, this isn’t news — Aaliyah flies to the Bahamas would not be a newsworthy thing without knowledge of what then happens

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Seems like a serious problem and evidence of clear corruption that the UN was making obviously false declarations of famine about an area that was receiving extensive aid per capita exclusively because that conclusion was helpful to one side in an information/propaganda war.

We’ve seen a lot of these “now the truth can be told” stories regarding Gaza over the last months. Including many listed as journalists and medical professionals openly identified as members of terror groups by the groups themselves.

The problem is that all of these falsehoods, which consistently went in one direction, are now widely believed. The truth almost doesn’t matter.

But it should be a lesson about the corruption of the groups involved. They can’t be trusted moving forward and American taxpayers shouldn’t be funding them.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I dunno. If we’re talking cowardice, say something meaningful about Piker’s views and confirmed statements. It’s like you want it both ways, demean your buddy as a “streamer” but not actually repudiate his bullshit for fear of offending his fans. Doesn’t sound brave to me dude.

[John Doyle @JohnDoyle]

This isn’t about a Twitch streamer, regardless of how you’d like to insult the intelligence of the American electorate.

This is about how, out of the hundreds of millions of people we have in our country, you have a strong association with someone who has said emphatically that we deserved 9/11.

If you actually cared about Americans, as you mean to imply by your rhetoric concerning affordability, you would have nothing to do with anybody who says that. Obviously.

Curiously, however, you do. And you refuse to explicitly denounce him and his rhetoric.

Todd Beamer, the American hero who famously led the “let’s roll” charge against the Flight 93 hijackers, was from Michigan. Knowing he couldn’t save his own life that day, he made the heroic decision to at least save hundreds more.

As a Michigan voter, I’d like to know — did Todd Beamer deserve to die? And what do you think of people like Hasan Piker who answer “yes” to that?

[Matt @allmattlaw]

Bernie and his ilk simply refuse to accept that much of the working class is significantly more socially and culturally conservative than even mainstream Democrats, and that trying to buy them off simply won’t work if those issues are truly salient to them.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Democrats cannot simply be anti-Trump.

They must be FOR a strong pro-working class agenda:

Medicare for All.
Raising the minimum wage to a living wage.
A wealth tax on billionaires.
Free public colleges and universities.
Expanding Social Security.

I’m not even a dad and my heart aches for this poor man.

[Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain]

You can see the righteous anger simmering beneath the surface here.

[Libby's Mama @RoundrockM]

Everyone thinking their conspiracy theory about Patrick Clancy is correct needs to listen to this woman’s first hand account. And shut the hell up, imo.

[Matt @allmattlaw]

You ARE radical, you ARE crazy, you ARE extremists, and the ignorance of the public doesn’t mitigate any of those facts. This whole saga is a great example of why populism is a scourge.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Five months ago, AOC and I called for a moratorium on new AI data centers.

We were called “radical,” “crazy” and “extremists.”

Today, 75% of Americans agree and hundreds of candidates are responding.

The message is clear: We need a moratorium.
