Don Lemon GOES OFF on ICE: “Fuck off ICE. Fuck all the way off. You are lowlife losers. You are treating people in an inhumane way and you don’t even understand why because you’re too dumb to figure it out. You are fat fuck losers who just crawled out of a trailer park from some Proud Boy meeting. You are thugs.”
Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military
The intense media focus on Graham Platner is understandable. He is an unknown in a crucial Senate race with a lot of baggage. Less understandable is the lack of coverage of Ken Paxton, whose sins are far worse. That it is “old news” is no excuse. Most voters have no clue.
Whatever you do, don’t save this picture and reply to all of Trump/White House/ Foxnews/ MAGAs tweets with this picture . Please. Trump wants it to go away:
🚨 Pardoned Jan. 6er Emily Hernandez drove the wrong way on the road, killing one person and injuring another.
She has been returned to prison with a 10-year sentence.
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
To claim that dismantling a state, a governing structure, means murdering the people who live there is beyond absurd. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled. The white people there were not mass-murdered. The state simply became a state for all its citizens, with equal rights.
Karl-Anthony Towns is writing his name in Knicks history ✍️
KAT is the first Knicks player with a 20-point double-double in a road Finals game since Dave DeBusschere in 1973.
FREDERIKSEN: We have learned a lot from Ukraine. You're able to produce faster, cheaper, and smarter than the rest of us, even though we're not at war. That's quite impressive, and quite embarrassing for the rest of Europe.
Europe still spends lot of time on lengthy processes, decision-making, and debating what is right and which capabilities we should buy in five or ten years. You simply get it done.
For me, defending Europe now means including Ukraine in Europe. Europe will not be able to do what needs to be done without Ukraine. In the beginning of the war, we were helping you. Now we depend on each other.
Dear @WhiteHouse: The inability of trump to stay awake on the job has made him a laughing stock and an embarrassment to the United States of America.
But I really did this tweet to show you that @GovPressOffice has much better social media content than you do.
Cheers!
Democrats are making something clear: if concerns about a candidate are legitimate, they should be addressed. But we are not going to be lectured by the party of Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, or other Republicans who have been accused of things like putting boiling water on their wives during a fight.
Dismissing the allegations against Platner is a mistake. But the NYT left the door wide open to the argument that Platner’s ex girlfriend is politically motivated. Heritage Foundation, Independent Women, Ladies for Kavanaugh.
Ultimately, what we think in NYC and DC doesn’t matter. Maine voters aren’t terminally online. They like his platform - it may be enough!
The Knicks trailed by as many as 14 points in their Game 1 win and as many as 12 in Game 2.
This is the first time a team has recorded double-digit comebacks in each of the first two games of a Finals since 1975, per @ESPNInsights.
