@pdxmama and I named our 16-year-old son after Atticus Finch. He carries it well. This news will only strengthen him.

Oklahoma school districts have removed To Kill a Mockingbird and A Raisin in the Sun from classrooms, per the ACLU: https://t.co/nqMNznASkW

@AdamKinzinger He doesn't remember saying what he said minutes earlier and thus says something entirely different. Classic dementia — and it will only get worse. Much worse.

@McFaul Epstein files and other compromising blackmail.

@Matt_Pinner All 20 here.

@BaddCompani Didn’t Trump and Murdoch meet earlier this week?

@andrewrsorkin @Scaramucci Fascinating read so far. The rich trying to get richer - and nearly everyone suffered. Some things never change.

@SportsGuyJeremy @Cascadia_FC Your Timbers coverage is indispensable for hardcore fans. So thank you.

@andrewjclare @USMNT @NewYorkLife Was there too. Shocked and thrilled at the beatdown.

@yourauntemma A “Christian” Nationalist delighting in harming others. Worst kind of hypocrite.

@Adam_Susman Hang in there!

@CNBC As if autism didn’t exist before Tylenol. This move is remarkably stupid and shortsighted. A Trump administration theme.

@Logically_JC What a joke. The push-ups and pull-ups that Kennedy and Hegseth did were lazy. No full extensions, lots of cheating swinging. Incompetent egomaniacs screaming "look at me, I'm so strong."

@TA_Threat @TaylorAP13 @DesertCorpsPTFC Top talent? BS. His stats are lousy, just like his attitude. And he was a giveaway machine. Good riddance.

[Michael Bales @crackedwindow]

@TA_Threat @DesertCorpsPTFC You know zip. Moreno is a petulant child. Twice he was a no-show for a few days to stay in Colombia. Despite the club moving his mother here to make him happy and negotiating a new contract. Yet he screwed over his teammates when they needed him most.

@SportsGuyJeremy DIVING ALLOWED!

@elonmusk So how do hashtags involve the skin? The correct word is aesthetics.

@SportsGuyJeremy Match encapsulated how MLS has ruined the Open Cup by over-scheduling. It means Timbers have to rest too many players for regular-season games, leading to last night’s mishmash lineup that had never played a match together. Embarrassing chaos ensued.
