May we all experience a day or days with the kind of joy, assurance, and skill that Alysa Liu just shared at the Olympics.

laurence who basically called nikolaj's accuser a clout chaser and defended him at every turn and gui who also supported nikolaj and controlled and abused his previous partner gabi papadakis and got her fired from commentating. THAT'S YOUR OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS IN ICE DANCE

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Nothing has changed. Minneapolis is still suffering — new leadership won’t change that. Congress can.

Not a dollar to DHS or ICE until then.

[morgan (vermont) @vermont_morgan]

if I was the incumbent governor of Minnesota and I had already declared I would not be running for re-election, I would burn every resource at my disposal to protect my citizens from being murdered by the federal government.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Charlie Kirk was killed by a rando and no high profile democrat supported it.

Renee Good was killed by the government and every high profile republican supported it.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

genuinely one of the most evil people to exist in modern history, i cannot stress this enough. he got zero punishment for his actions. caused incalculable harm to entire regions. millions killed, tens of millions displaced and he got to pass away quietly surrounded by family.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Minnesota shooter wrote on his gun: "Breivik" (Norwegian who killed 77 people), "Robert Bowers" (Tree of Life shooter), "Waco", "Vicki Weaver" (shot by FBI at Ruby Ridge). These are canonical names and incidents for far-right extremists. Odd this is barely mentioned in coverage.

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

A reminder that everything that has happened was knowable and predictable on the morning of October 7, 2023. Many of you failed, morally and analytically. Many of you ran interference for what the whole world now sees is a campaign of mass starvation.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

I could not possibly be filled with more rage after seeing Texas Republicans blame the National Weather Service forecast for the unspeakable tragedy that hit the girls camp.

You were warned this would happen if you fired everyone!

[Chase Mitchell @ChaseMit]

So see this is actual antisemitism, as opposed to like, just being a Muslim guy running for office

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

Trump declaring martial law because someone held up a mean sign at his very special birthday parade for big boys is, honestly, a top five way the Republic could die in terms of sheer hilarity.

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

Hey you guys know that racist pedophile billionaire with a 14% approval rating, what if we got him on our team

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

So just to be clear, y’all’s transphobia did, in fact, result in a woman being attacked by a man in the women’s bathroom.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Biden burned so much moral and political capital by supporting every single thing Netanyahu did and now Bibi is just sitting there grinning ear to ear as Trump shits all over him. The "hug Bibi" strategy was one of the dumbest ideas ever spit out by a White House.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

JD/Trump are thugs. And this ambush of Zelensky at the White House will do deep damage to Ukraine, to our allies and to the U.S.

Openly ridiculing and demeaning a man who has kept his country alive for three years against all the odds is a national embarrassment and runs counter to our own security interests. But they could care less that Ukraine was invaded by Russia — the second biggest military power on the planet — led by a ruthless dictator willing to sacrifice soldiers and civilians by the hundreds of thousands. Trump and JD trying to look tough in front of the cameras even though it’s Zelensky who is the strongest one in the room. The guy who was supposed to lose to Russia in a matter of hours or days is still there, fighting. As are the brave Ukrainian soldiers on the front line.

We help Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do for a fellow democracy that is suffering a brutal invasion AND because if Ukraine were to fall, the next fight would be on the front lines of our NATO allies and our military would be treaty-bound to join the war. In other words, Ukraine is shouldering the total cost in terms of the fighting, the lives forever damaged and the lives lost so that we and our European allies don’t have to.

Trump and Vance are not only abandoning Ukraine. They are abandoning the security of our country. Today they made it much more likely that our service members will be fighting again in Europe, 80 years after countless brave Americans helped liberate the continent and make it safe for democracy.

Shameful.

[Sara @CarrieUrulz]

Watching white supposedly progressive men turn on every marginalized community is both unsurprising and incredibly depressing

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

@keithdorejel @perrybaconjr I’m quite comfortable - morally and politically - with the position that Dem presidential candidates shouldn’t let voters believe they want to defund the police, abolish ICE, decriminalize border crossings, or provide transition surgeries for undocumented immigrants in prison.

[𐚁🐝 Freelance Auntie🫘🥬🥔🍅 @naturallyfabu]

@daveweigel Trump ran on identity politics, not Harris/Walz. VP bent over backwards not to mention her race and gender. Y'all really need to quit letting the GOP define the narrative.

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

Almost every single state that banned trans people from playing sports went on to ban healthcare for trans youth. This issue is a trojan horse meant to codify the otherness of trans people into state law.

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

Why? Why can’t they believe it? Trump has been telegraphing moves such as this for four years. They have no reasonable basis to be surprised. It’s disingenuous.

[Sara @CarrieUrulz]

I think we need to be done with the former Obama advisors in the Democratic Party. This idea👇 is HORRIBLE and over the past decade it feels like it’s become clear that the Obama success was more about his own talent than anything to do with this dead end group of hangers on

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Dems need a strong and strategic party leader, with broad experience in comms; fundraising and winning elections.
One thought I surfaced on @HacksonTap: Ambassador @RahmEmanuel.
There may be others but he is kind of sui genesis: Dude knows how to fight and win!
