@marketamp @RonFilipkowski No, he always just makes it a proper noun to make that red squiggly underline go away.

@RonFilipkowski I'm getting tired of explaining this, Donny. It's not "Stollen", it's "stealed".

@SeaStarSong @kylegriffin1 I don't strongly disagree, but a McCarthy who is one Matt-Gaetz-bad-hair-day away from having his seat vacated would never have been any better than Johnson.

@ritchie_ryan @ACCOfficiating Not sure whether the punter got to the line or not, but note that the yellow TV line is not properly aligned. If you look carefully, the sticks (and line) are right at the 42 on the far side, but at the end of the play the line was showing past the 42.

DOJ dropped campaign finance charges against SBF because of problems with an extradition agreement & the right wingers are losing their shit.

Actually, he's still on the hook for 7 more serious counts of fraud with a trial set for Oct. But don't let the facts get in your way.

It’s apparently okay to run a Ponzi scheme as long as you donate to democrats.🙄

@TruthorTrump1 @MonicaCrowley White nationalists and criminal, autocratic presidents. Have you not been listening to "us" at all?

@mattjonesey32 @KySportsRadio I’m not a big fan of Cal’s new-team-every-year plan either, but the problem with Kentucky, Duke etc fans is that they think if their team isn’t contending for a national championship every.single.year the program is in shambles.

@robinmdbeck @WeisbeckerLab This looks interesting but I don't have access through two different institutions. Could you send a pdf to [email protected]?

@boomslangjj @Michell33650674 I looked into the possibility of moving to Nova Scotia from NC. Turns out that Canada has immigration laws just like the US does! Who would have guessed?

If Trump wins in 2024 they’re going to need to build a wall to protect their southern border.

@vsbuffalo @LemmonQuiche Clearly a pirated copy. The FBI has been alerted.

@TRUEBLUEMOJO @edendally @EdKrassen Crazy how many tweets say Dominion had "no case" despite Fox agreeing to one of the largest defamation payouts in US history. If Dominion had no case, why didn't Fox just go to trial? (I have no case against Fox, but will they give me a 3/4 billion settlement if I sue them?)

@Aczar1Alan @JoJoFromJerz Yep. It's only a matter of time before someone dies from fentanyl contamination of their illegally obtained mifepristone.

Feel better now?

@RepUnited @Horny_Rhino78 @JoJoFromJerz Substitute "poor" for "black" above and the graph would look very similar (https://t.co/x36lDUy5Tn). Are you in favor of banning poor people as well?

I just made this little graph that you might find interesting. Tx so much for elevating these 3 people to a national stage where their message will reach so many more!

@CindySue821 @Bevfriesen1 @CalltoActivism I hear you, but the way things are going summers in Vermont are going to be getting very crowded.

@Oscars_person @kaitlancollins @VanJones68 @sarasidnerCNN @Phil_Mattingly If only we could expel every Republican who ever acted foolishly on the floor. (Yes, the reason is exactly the point I was making.)

Sad, but also a huge win for Democrats and gun-control advocates today... the Tennessee Republicans and their allies just don't realize that yet.

[David Swofford's desk @david_swofford]

@ohiopatrioted @Victorshi2020 Interesting take. Here's a different one: no one outside of Tennessee would have heard of these guys for at least several years if their expulsion hadn't happened, but now they already have a national stage plus a big bump in their campaign funds.

[David Swofford's desk @david_swofford]

@Oscars_person @kaitlancollins @VanJones68 @sarasidnerCNN @Phil_Mattingly Hmm... I wonder what it is that caused them to decide that the two black representatives were more disruptive?

[David Swofford's desk @david_swofford]

I think this will backfire on the Republicans. And the silver lining is that it has elevated Justin Pearson (MLK reincarnated?) to a national stage, and we'll be hearing a lot more from him.
