@FreddyLA7 Don’t skip Pittsburgh, or PA for that matter…as others have said, there are a ton of beautiful and interesting things to see! Philly is doing a ton of things for the 4th, which is where the “big boy” steam engine is ultimately headed for the holiday.

@Timodc Did you notice a kind of Stockholm Syndrome effect with the national press last night and this morning?

I sure did.

And it's not healthy for our democratic republic at all.

Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

Just a friendly reminder that it's our sacred obligation as Americans to punch Nazis.

@TVietor08 @jonlovett @grahamformaine @PodSaveAmerica Wow. I actually thought it was a great interview and felt his answers were thoughtful and came away feeling like he’s an example of an actual person who wants to make a difference for his state and the country. The rabid energy from everyone calling for his head is unreal tbh

Please share this deleted tweet far and wide.

ABC News just suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran for making it.

@steviej0341 @Jennyjinx @TheChiefNerd @zerohedge If you worry about the national debt, the solution isn’t to cut programs that keep Americans (esp kids) fed or with medical coverage (~50% of Medicaid recipients are kids) it’s about things like taxing the rich instead of more tax cuts, the cost of which is massive comparatively

[Judy @iris5426]

@steviej0341 @Jennyjinx @TheChiefNerd @zerohedge Local and state run programs rely on federal funding, and food stamps (SNAP) and programs that supply food banks have already been cut by trump and are being decimated in the proposed reconciliation bill.

Well, isn’t this a plot twist straight out of a dystopian screenplay? CBS News, home of the storied 60 Minutes, just handed Trump a victory lap on a silver platter—complete with a side of journalistic integrity, lightly sautéed in corporate cowardice. Bill Owens, the man who kept the show’s moral compass intact for years, had to resign because apparently, standing up to a bully with a $10 billion lawsuit is too much for Paramount’s delicate merger dreams with Skydance. One can almost hear the boardroom pitch: “Let’s trade our legacy for a tech billionaire’s approval—ratings be damned!” Meanwhile, Harvard’s out there suing the administration for freezing billions in funding, proving some institutions still have a backbone. Perhaps CBS can borrow their copy of the Constitution for the next broadcast—if they haven’t already swapped it for a merger memo.

It’s almost poetic, really: 60 Minutes, the show that once grilled presidents, now reduced to a bargaining chip in a corporate chess game. Trump’s playbook—intimidate, sue, repeat—worked like a charm, and CBS didn’t even try to bluff. Here’s a free headline for their next episode: “The Art of Surrender: How to Lose Your Soul Without Breaking a Sweat.” The audience might not tune in, but at least the Skydance deal might get a standing ovation from the board.

Law firms cave, the demands don't stop.

Columbia caves, the demands don't stop.

Paramount enters settlement talks with Trump over a frivolous law suit, Trump still pushes FCC to revoke CBS's broadcast license over 60 Minutes.

Capitulation doesn't save you. You torch your reputation and prove yourself to be a soft target. You willingly give Trump power he could not take.

Fighting back is the only way. And the more who do, the weaker Trump will prove to be.

@jonlovett Exactly! Someone please make @SenFettermanPA @JohnFetterman understand that. We did not elect him in PA to enable this BS

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

The stock market is down but at least everything is more expensive and services are getting shittier. On the other hand we have more measles. To be fair, they are finally delivering the reductions in FAA and National Parks staff that people have been demanding.

[Jon Lovett @jonlovett]

dumbest era.... so far

[Jasmine Crockett @JasmineForUS]

If you think this is ok, something is wrong with you. Explain an unelected, unvetted, unconfirmed, individual who hasn’t been subjected to the same security clearances or higher as these civil servants has the authority to do this?!

This feels as if we are being attacked from within, FULL FUCKING STOP!

In a minute, I think they are going to continuously ignore court orders that are granted against them. You see what happens, America, when you put a conman convicted felon into the White House… HE DOES NOT ABIDE BY THE LAW.

It feels like y’all literally told the robber to come on in and rob us blind. 😡

Courage is not where you stand in times of comfort, but where you stand in times of discomfort… I’m ready to see some Republicans find their spines! We have to do what’s right, TOGETHER!

[Staff Sergeant Gonell, Aquilino @SergeantAqGo]

The Republicans who WE, the officers protected and saved—the ones that ran in fear for their lives on Jan 6 are giving tours to the marauders and treating them honorably, giving them a hero’s welcome instead of the officers who risked their lives for them. All while claiming they back the blue.

[Judy @iris5426]

Hey ⁦@Reuters⁩ can you explain why this article ends with trump’s misinformed claims about water in CA instead of even a sentence providing the actual facts or stating that his beliefs are not accurate at a bare minimum?? https://t.co/dEzOgPlelp
