Trump: I'm polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this, I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won't take too long. I'm good at language, and I will go to Venezuela. I'm going to run for president.

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.

Trump: Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise honoring him as king. They call me king now. Can you believe it?

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country, we have 50 states, all these people, we're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

So impressed that @cnn has stuck with coverage of Artemis II, giving it the attention it deserves as a major milestone in human history. Compelling television that is about courageous people taking risks on behalf of all of us instead of those trying to divide us.

It’s one thing to have Paul McCartney at work, but it’s another thing to have a display like this at the same time

Other things Kristi Noem has purchased with your money:

–$172 million for private jets
–$2.4 million for gold-detailed ICE vehicles
–$700,000 for tricked-out trucks for ICE
–$120,000 for 2 Mustangs

Did Trump also authorize these?

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

This is a fucking boss right here.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

So let me get this straight: Trump fired Noem after she lied about spending over $200 million of taxpayer dollars on ads promoting herself.

But he wouldn't lift a finger after two Americans were killed by her federal agents?

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

I invite everyone to pray for the war-torn people of Ukraine and for all those who suffer due to this war and every conflict in the world, so that the long-awaited gift of peace may shine in our days.

The history books quietly bypassed is that Barack Obama, during the most pressure-saturated nights of his presidency, would retreat alone to the Treaty Room on the second floor of the White House residence — not to strategize, not to take calls, but to handwrite personal letters to ten ordinary American citizens every single night, a practice he maintained with almost monastic devotion across all eight years, selecting the letters himself from the 40,000 that arrived daily at the White House, and his longtime correspondence director Fiona Reese confirmed that Obama would often weep privately while reading certain letters, folding them carefully before writing responses so personally detailed and emotionally present that recipients frequently described the experience of receiving them as the most significant moment of their lives, with one Ohio steelworker writing back to say that Obama's letter had physically stopped him from making a decision that would have permanently altered his family's future. What makes this practice almost unbearably moving is the detail that surfaced later — Obama never used a computer for these letters, always a black felt-tip pen, always legal yellow paper first as a draft, always rewritten onto White House stationery by hand a second time, because he believed, as he told historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in a rare private conversation later recounted in her 2018 work, that the physical act of pressing pen to paper forced a quality of attention that typing simply could not replicate, a philosophy rooted in his years as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago from 1992 to 2004 where he developed the conviction that democracy only functions when its leaders remain genuinely, uncomfortably close to the specific gravity of individual human suffering rather than processing it from behind the insulating distance of institutions and screens."

This footage shows the terrifying tsunami that struck Japan on 11 March 2011.

It powerfully illustrates the meaning of “Tsunami Tendenko,” a principle that advises, “When a tsunami comes, run on your own to a high place, regardless of anyone else.”

No one believes this cover up from the White House, especially since they originally defended the post. We are all clear-eyed about who Donald Trump is and what he believes.

To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.

One of the most impressive things about this next arctic dump is how deep and COLD it gets for ALL of FL, especially south FL for Saturday PM to Monday. Low to mid 30's for Miami metro is kind of insane. Not coldest ever, but impressive and likely coldest in 16 years. You can see below this would join a select few. Wind chills will make it unbearable for some.
