The ideals of the Enlightenment returned to an enslaved French beach by the wretched refuse of her teeming shores. June 6, 1944. https://t.co/e4uvj7kZUH

It's extraordinary that the MAGA mob try to portray him as the polar opposite of what he really is

[Michael J. Hicks @HicksCBER]

It’s the DoD.

[Jason Chaffetz @jasoninthehouse]

DOW needs to correct the record. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints truly are Christians. I happen to be a member, and first and foremost I believe in Jesus Christ. We are Christians. 🇺🇸✝️❤️

[Mike Nelson @mikenelson586]

As happened with the Taliban in his first administration, President Trump is too willing to offer concessions to Iran just to keep negotiations going. My latest in @thedispatch (gift link below)

[McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins]

Again, I say this with love to my fellow Latter-day Saints: the sooner you give up trying to convince the religious right to validate your faith, the sooner you'll know peace. Are we real Christians? Only one opinion matters—and it's not Pete Hegseth's.

Cars have so obviously gotten much, much better in the past 25+ years.

Mostly caused by competition, much of it foreign.

Thanks, global trade!

@aaron_renn Low powered study, the authors called “observational.”

[Dave Hale - Concerned Republican @CountryFirstRep]

I miss presidents who didn't immediate fold and run away under basic journalistic scrutiny.

The bar is just...so, so low.

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

I should host a TV show where I drive a van full of Mormons to various Evangelical churches in Northeast Georgia

@CallMeCookie Odds are high that Dort will wear his CIB on his Home Depot apron after retirement.

Mike Lee is so close to figuring out why the government shouldn’t be weighing in on religion.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

For 5 years he’s been promising evidence.

When asked for any, he responds like a little toddler.

Such a bitch

[Michael J. Hicks @HicksCBER]

Anyone else feel like we are in for another 07:30 ceasefire announcement tomorrow?

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Mike Lee has posted 37 times in the last 24 hours about Hegseth removing the Mormons from the Pentagon’s approved list of recognized Christian denominations.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

About the cease fire… there really never was one.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

This is absolutely insane. Trumps love of Russia is stunting the US military’s ability to modernize.

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

It’s repetitive but still vital to say. There is NOTHING to Trump’s vote fraud assertions. There was nothing to them in 2016. Nothing in 2020. Nothing in 2024. Nothing in 2026. NOTHING AT ALL.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Have the day you voted for.

[Liza Libes @pensandpoison]

Conservatives are correct to be frustrated with modern universities.

But the solution shouldn't be to abandon higher education. It should be to recover its original purpose.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Yes. Defenders of free enterprise, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, called it "free enterprise" in the early 20th century.

We should go back to that.
