Journalists reporting on WH East Wing project should rewind to 2011 West Wing big dig, which swallowed its massively deep construction secrets. https://t.co/SsfnNJysZu
EXCLUSIVE: Last year Kash Patel and his gf flew on an FBI G5 to Philly to see George Strait & Chris Stapleton from a private stadium suite that costs up to $50,000. He won’t say who paid. https://t.co/ex82frRDy4 via @NYTimes
@atrupar During @nytimes Jan. intvw (w/ @SangerNYT in the lead), Trump set up his Iran-facts quandary: "He cited the success of his strike on Iran’s nuclear program — he keeps a model of the B-2 bombers used in the mission on his desk."
Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."
We are announcing today that The American Revolution will stream for free in its entirety on all PBS platforms from May 25th through July 12. Hope you have a chance to watch, ideally with friends and family, as you think about our 250th anniversary this July 4th. https://t.co/c8fc6Sldj5
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just told me over the phone he has unilaterally cancelled Witkoff and Kushner’s trip to Pakistan to meet with the Iranians.
"I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing'."
@DCDPW Q. If DPW missed leaf collection in a neighborhood with a large accumulation on a public road/steep hill, can DPW still come & collect the leaves now? 311 requests did not result in leaf pickup.
The worst imaginable can't-reach-a-human customer service for healthcare billing must be within @NorthwellHealth. After 1 week's efforts to help a relative using phone messages, multiple phone #s & email requests for assistance: Crickets.
@DCDPW Any idea on DPW timing to plow UP UP UP 31st Street SE hill and around Westover Drive SE? Please know it's impassable as of mid-Monday & dangerous. (FYI, Plowing tracker is inaccurate about 31st Street SE all the way up the hill & around Westover. Thanks.)
63% of voters in Quinnipiac Poll last month said they opposed U.S. military action inside Venezuela. Sharp partisan divide. (Not asked about U.S. running Venezuela & restoring its petroleum infrastructure, as Trump announced today) https://t.co/5tb9Mlt2Jq
I return to this space today to pay tribute to my sweet, beloved Tatiana, who left this earth today. I return to this space to pay tribute and honor her loving and supportive family, who came together and did everything they possibly could do to help her. I return to this space heartbroken because Tatiana loved life. She loved her life, and she fought like hell to try to save it.
I cannot make sense of this. I cannot make any sense of it at all. None. Zero.
Tatiana was a great journalist, and she used her words to educate others about the earth and how to save it. She created a beautiful life with her extraordinary husband George, and children Eddie and Josie. She fought like a warrior. She was valiant, strong, courageous.
My heart has always been with my cousin Caroline ever since we were little kids. My entire being is with her now. What a rock she has been. What a source of love she has been with Ed, Rose, Rory, Jack, George, Eddie, Josie, and all of Tatiana’s cousins and friends and the amazing doctors who tried so hard.
A few weeks ago, Tatiana wrote so beautifully about her diagnosis and her battle with this horrendous disease. If you haven’t read her words, please honor her by doing so (the article is linked below). Her piece is extraordinary. Whatever your faith, please pray for Tatiana and her grieving family. Tatiana was the light, the humor, the joy. She was smart, wicked smart, as they say, and sassy. She was fun, funny loving, caring, a perfect daughter, sister, mother, cousin, niece, friend, all of it…
Those of us left behind will make sure Eddie and Josie know what a beautiful, courageous spirit their mother was and will always be. She takes after her extraordinary mother, Caroline. May we all hold Tatiana’s family in our collective embrace not just today, but in the days ahead, and may each of you who read this know how lucky you are to be alive right now. Please pause and honor your life. It truly is such a gift. ♥️
