After JD Vance just humiliated himself.

Rubio just dropped one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

I tuned into Joe Rogan yesterday and heard Bernie Sanders' economics, Barack Obama's foreign policy, and Ro Khanna's conspiracy theories.

And then I realized JD Vance was talking.

I want a candidate in 2028 who doesn't mirror the Democrats -- and who can win.

Mr. VP, this is not the way.

Great piece to know better what true socialism is. We should learn from the history. Sad to see what might happen in NYC.

Instead of facts, the media pushed shameless propaganda. That’s why Americans don’t trust them.

Watch for yourself:

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

Sometimes people who say, “I am just asking questions,” are actually making unfounded speculations.

We should ask questions and we should not make unfounded speculations. But it’s silly to pretend that when we ask specific kinds of questions in particular ways, especially when they involve one sided implications, that we are not actually making a case without evidence.

Weird, how only one country gets the majority of everyone’s attention.

OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie - alas, it was all three. What is a Zombie Lie? Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be true but no longer is, but certain people pretend it's still true. "Barbie" is this kind of #ZombieLie.

Spoiler alert, Barbie fights the Patriarchy. Right up to the Mattel board who created her, consisting of 12 white men! The Patriarchy! Except there's a Mattel board in real life, and it's 7 men and 5 women. OK, not perfect even-steven, but not the way the board IN THE MOVIE - which takes place in 2023 - is portrayed. And not really any longer deserving of the word "patriarchy." Yes, there was one, and remnants of it remain - but this movie is so 2000-LATE.

At one point the Barbies have to win over the Kens, and they are told to do it by pretending to act helpless and not know how to do stuff. Helen Gurley Brown called, she wants her premise back. Yes, that WAS a thing. I saw "Barbie" with a woman in her 30s who said, "I don't know a single woman of any age who would act like that today."

I know, I know, 'How could I know about the patriarchy, I AM a man!' That argument is so old and so silly. Of course, none of us can know exactly what others go through life, but I can see the world around me, and I can read data. The real Mattel board is a pretty close mirror of the country, where 45% of the 449 board seats filled last year in Fortune 500 companies were women. Truth is, I'm not the one who's out of step - I'm living in the year we're living in. Barbie is fun, I enjoyed it - but it IS a #ZombieLie. And people who don't go along with zombie lies did not take some red pill - just staying true to CURRENT reality. Let's live in the year we're living in! Hi Ken!!! #BarbieMovie

Not a filter. Because of the #wildfires in #Canada, this is how the sun looks right now where I am at in Wayne, NJ (Northern New Jersey). Absolutely amazed at this. 😲 #TuesdayFeeling

This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.

@GovKathyHochul What about penalizing pedestrians and bikers who cross on red light or who go against the traffic????

[UpperEastSite.com @uppereastsiteny]

On one #UES residential block today we counted 18 cars with out of state plates— and one with no plates at all— occupying parking meant for residents. Does NYC need a residential permitting system? Or we just all cool with this?

[NYC Sanitation @NYCSanitation]

Litter baskets are for light trash, like:
• Coffee cups,
• Candy bar wrappers, or
• Juice boxes
NOT, your household waste! Household trash goes out for collection in front of your home!

In Beijing they screen everyone. And it’s much more populated than NYC.

[Elmar Ausman @elmaradjo]

It’s getting scarier to ride a subway in #NYC. While I was going uptown on the 6 train, there was some explosion at 59th street, the smoke started coming out and people ran out in panic. Is there a way to start screening all passengers before they get on? @NYCTSubway @NYCMayor
