Terrible experience with @Instacart Ordered from Costco. Shopper fulfilled and loaded for delivery. Delivery guy goes to wrong part of town and then, instead of using GPS, cancels order. WTF? @InstacartHelp Why do business with these folks?

@scottsimonnpr isn’t it unusual for a sitting president to promote his business, even if it’s just another golf course? Maybe worth underlining.

@LisaDNews @NewsHour @sarajust please stop the breathless reports on wavering MAGA Congress members. Chip Roy et al always get in line. Stick to what’s in the bill please.

@Espngreeny so why was Thibs fired? @WindhorstESPN has an informed opinion but Hahn tells us what”seems” to be the case. FFS do some reporting and stop the gas bagging! #knicks #espngetup

This story is not going away. 

In fact, it is just getting started. 

How many other similar situations are we not aware of? How many other sensitive war plans have been compromised?

We will get to the bottom of this, and we will hold them accountable.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

EVERYONE, up to and including President Trump, needs to explain themselves. 

They lied to the American people.

And tried to cover it up. 

And didn't care that it put troops at risk and threatened our national security.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

Hegseth is blatantly lying (or is somehow even more clueless & incompetent than we all thought).

He must resign, IMMEDIATELY. And should lawyer up. 

But it doesn't end there.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

This level of operational detail— timing, strike package, battle damage assessment, and more — is 100% definitively, unequivocally CLASSIFIED information.

Sharing that on an unsecured network, EVEN WITHOUT A REPORTER, is a crime and put the lives of service members at risk.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

I served two combat tours in Iraq. I know how these operations are supposed to go.

Top takeaways: 

1) Hegseth definitively exposed CLASSIFIED war plans.

2) Hegseth must resign. IMMEDIATELY.

3) This is a cover-up at the highest levels of government.

Let me explain.

New: As a U.S. military contractor, SpaceX sees allowing Chinese ownership as fraught. But it will allow the investment if it comes through secrecy hubs like the Cayman Islands, court records say. “It is certainly a policy of obfuscation,” an expert said. https://t.co/PqyIkyasxE

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem, billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

What Trump wants from his presidency is to collect tribute and force people to bow to his will. That's exactly what he's gotten Paul, Weiss to do. Deeply embarrassing behavior from one of the most powerful law firms in the country.
