TRUMP LOST IT ON CBS REPORTER AFTER SHE READ SHOOTER MANIFESTO

"I am NOT a pedophile. You read that crap from some SICK person."

"Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones who were involved with Epstein."

"You shouldn't be reading that on 60 Minutes. You are a DISGRACE. Go ahead, let's finish the interview."

Hey @Cmdr_Hadfield @neiltyson,
Why do 3D globes—which literally solve the 2D Mercator projection problem—still seem to show the same disproportionate landmasses as flat maps? Is it just our brains being used to the Mercator projection, or is something else going on?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon.

1,461 have been killed.
4,430 have been injured.
1.2 million have been displaced.

Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon.

Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

The 25th Amendment exists for a reason.

The President of the United States is a deranged lunatic, and a national security threat to our country and the rest of the world.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

Less asphalt. More landscaping. Safer for pedestrians.

More cities should do this.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Congratulations AG Blanche. Now you have 30 days to release the rest of the files before becoming criminally liable for failure to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

What we could have, if people didn’t insist on living in service to their cars.

Congratulations to all Americans who dared to take to the streets today and publicly expressed their stance and disagreement with the actions and policies of their president. #WeSayNoKings 👍👍👍

The "No Kings" rally in Boston drew thousands of people to the city. https://t.co/7L8w1nwe2b

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Congestion pricing has been a huge success.

Traffic is down.

Business is up.

The cameras are staying on.

Cities are burning in summer & trees are one of the simplest and most effective solutions, because: They can lower urban temperatures by at least 5°C

@JonathanCohn Well, the Governor already fixed housing, saved public ed, and hit 0% unemployment—she’s clearly earned the time for stuff like this….

@FortPointer Marvin is an amazing person, and a great professional. He will do great work for vulnerable communities.

It takes political leadership and guts to convert a 3 lane road into 1 lane for cars and 2 lanes for cycles. Thats when you know a politician cares about future and not next election vote bank.

[CLEAN CAR CLUB @TheCleanCarClub]

Why take 70 cars when one bus will do the job? 🤷‍♂️

[SHAV★ @shavnyuy]

This is brick architecture in Columbia.
Colombia built universities, towers, housing blocks and music schools with it…
Our buildings will look this good too if we stop seeing brick as primitive.

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

Outgoing Mayor Anne Hidalgo championed a car-free agenda, leaving Paris greener, cleaner and better for walking and biking. Take a journey through the city to see how it's changed. Read more: https://t.co/eyHJwehHTA

Skeptics of waterfront street redesigns will say "we aren't Paris." You can remind them that Paris wasn't always Paris.
