It’s like a meth family moved in….

@KeruboSk I changed my name when I married my late husband. I did not change it when I remarried many years later. It is how I am known professionally, in our community, and it is my name. No one cared that I didn’t change it. It’s 2026. Move on.

@RepFine I live in Virginia. Unlike the Republicans, who just sucked the orange Oompa Loompa’s nozzle and gerrymandered the shit out of TX, MO, and NC at his direction, VA actually put it to a vote. FAFO.

I hate that some people think how Trump behaves is normal or acceptable.

This is Presidential. This is dignified. This is gracious. This is what we should be, and I hate him for ruining 245 yrs of our democracy & turning it into a circus of deplorables.

George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.”

Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order.

Augustine invented the doctrine. https://t.co/dMEjVtSx08

@ginamilan_ His job is literally to represent the Catholic Church. You aren’t Catholic. Have a seat.

@rkh_md I’m a physical therapist, and I’m pretty sure I can tell the difference between a liver and a spleen. I also know my left side from my right side, which would have helped in this case.

Last week, I was at a friend's birthday gathering at a crowded bar in D.C. and I somehow wound up in conversation with a small group of people about the war in Iran.

One of them fully supported the war and fully supported Trump. I politely sipped my drink and waited for the convo to move on. I didn't really want to talk about this during what was meant to be a laidback evening.

But then he said this: "The death toll has been surprisingly low for our military."

I asked him: "How do you mean?"

"Well, we've had a small number of troops killed, less than ten."

"Thirteen," I said. "Thirteen troops have been killed in combat."

"Right," he said. "That's a surprisingly low number. We've had a low fatality rate."

And, you know, I just couldn't let that go. I couldn't.

"Surprisingly low?"

He said: "Yeah, it could be much worse. We could have lost a lot more soldiers at this point."

I asked him: "Can you name any of the service members who were killed?"

"What?"

"Thirteen service members have been killed. Do you know any of their names?"

There was this long, awkward pause. And then he said: "I know some of their names have been published."

I said: "All of their names have been published. The last KIA was a few weeks ago. Do you know any of their names?"

Another long pause and then finally: "No, I don't."

Let me offer some friendly advice for anyone like this gentleman who is tempted to say this was a "surprisingly low" number of service members killed.

Don't make this observation if it's just a number to you.

Every one of these service members had loved ones, friends, a life back home.

Some of them had kids. Some of them had mortgages and front lawns to mow. Some of them had grills in their backyard they would have been using for parties with people they loved this summer.

Now they're gone, and their families and friends are always going to feel that loss.

You shouldn't be saying something like "surprisingly low" in the first place but especially when you don't know any of their names.

If U.S. military fatalities are "surprisingly low," it shouldn't take you any time at all to learn their names.

Friendly advice.

Markwayne Mullin has never served a day in the U.S. military.

No enlistment. No deployment. No combat.

But he talks about the “smell of war,” hints at secret missions, and lets people think he’s a combat veteran.

That’s not honor - that’s stolen valor-adjacent BS.

Real vets earned their stories. He’s role-playing theirs.

Cosplaying war doesn’t make you a warrior.

@RollSpides Here’s hoping for🕷️WBB and UNC MBB wins! 😉

Laura Loomer flew to India.

Before she left she deleted all of her anti-Indian tweets. Thousands of them. Gone.
She thought nobody would notice.

An Indian uncle noticed.

He read them back to her on camera.
Every one. Her own words. Her own bigotry. Directed at the people whose country she was visiting as a guest.

This is the woman who has the personal cell phone number of the President of the United States.

This is the woman who shaped immigration policy from Mar-a-Lago.
She deleted the evidence before crossing the border.

The internet is forever.

The uncle is a hero.

@CBSNews @USMC you ok that they broke a veterans’s arm?

That is not what the word "imminent" means.

[Amy Stuart, PT, MPT @AmyKStuart]

@RollSpides The game was reflective of the whole season: spend the entire game in frantic catch up mode, miss too many lay ups and free throws, tie it up at the end, can’t close, and lose anyway. I hope the MBB go watch the WBB, and learn how to mix up their defense and play strategically.

@Thiohna @WonderKing82 No one is killing a baby at 34 weeks. They would just deliver it. What a bunch of whackjobs.

@theliamnissan So is the right now calling every white dude with a gun an assassination attempt as Trump wasn’t even there…
