What is a DEI bike lane?

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

Remember when Biden and Boot-edge-edge used YOUR MONEY for DEI bike lanes and climate change?

THAT’S OVER

I just redirected $1.73 billion in USDOT grants away from Biden-era DEI pet projects

Now this funding is officially locked in to fix America’s actual backbone: ROADS, BRIDGES, AND SHIPPING PORTS @realDailyWire ➡️ https://t.co/3EcWwywyFp

@TODNewsHub Is this not exactly the point of the metro??

על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אמהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור!

עם כל הכבוד לאמריקאים, ישראל חייבת להבהיר לעולם כולו שדם בנינו וביטחון אזרחנו איננו הפקר. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור. חובתנו העליונה היא להגן על אזרחי ישראל ועל חיילי צה״ל, והמחויבות הזו קודמת לכל שיקול אחר.

אמרתי לראש הממשלה, גם בישיבות בינינו: על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אימהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות.

מספיק עם הפינג־פונג. במזרח התיכון לא מנצחים בתגובות מדודות ובהכלה - צריך להשתגע. למחוק. להכריע את הטרור.

Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design.

Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

The official account of the White House, mind you

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate!

[James Dougherty @j_dougherty_]

@kenklippenstein @JDCocchiarella Oh so we’re going to make fun of the way she’s talked for years, instead of perhaps exposing her countless votes that has enabled this reckless administration

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

THE HOUSE just funded DHS by voice vote.

76-day DHS shutdown is over.

They didnt even take a recorded vote

Holy fuck someone take this man out of office TODAY

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Text messages…

[Giovanni Staunovo🛢 @staunovo]

In an 8-minute phone call, Trump told Axios his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are holding intense negotiations with the Iranians.

Two sources involved in the negotiations said the talks are taking place through Pakistani, Egyptian and Turkish mediators, but also through text messages sent between Trump's advisers and Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi.

Remember that 20 million people saw their health care premiums double because $30 billion was too expensive.

SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for the Iran war supplemental, sources say

Some White House aides think Congress won't support b/c it's so big

Will tee up giant battle in Congress

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

This reporter refused to be shushed:

Yesterday Mariam Khan (@MKhan47) was the TV pool representative aboard Air Force One, meaning she was there on behalf of all the major networks. Khan brought up the fact that "your PAC put out a fundraising email" using photos taken at a dignified transfer of US service members killed in Kuwait. She asked: "Do you think that's an appropriate email to send?"

Trump said yes, and that he didn't see the email, then defended himself, then asked, "Who are you with?"

Trump genuinely didn't recognize Khan — it was actually her first time aboard Air Force One with him. (She reported from Capitol Hill for ten years and recently switched beats to cover the State Department, Pentagon and foreign affairs.)

When she answered Trump's question and said ABC, he said, "I don't want any more from ABC," and looked around the plane for other questioners.

But Khan was undeterred. She tried asking about the deaths of US service members. He didn't respond. She later said, "Can you explain why we’re sending 5,000 marines and sailors?" and he replied with the shush, adding, "You're a very obnoxious person."

Khan kept trying — recognizing, again, that she was there on behalf of CNN, Fox and other networks. She asked about the Pentagon investigation into the missile strike at the school in Minab, Iran. He said, "We don't know." She asked about the deaths of service members again. He ignored her.

Khan was exemplary. She was, as one ABC colleague said, "steady as can be." She was respectful and persistent. She refused to be shushed.

DO NOT TRUST HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR LIFE ON A MONDAY MORNING

[Acyn @Acyn]

Tapper: We have covered fallen veterans under Bush and Obama and Trump and Biden and now Trump again and we will continue to honor troops by memorializing them and discussing their sacrifices. The only difference is that Bush and Obama and Biden didn't have secretaries of defense who would petulantly complain about our coverage of fallen warriors

Reagan *National Airport …

[Special Envoy Kristi Noem @EnvoyNoem]

Democrat members of Congress are getting paid, but they’re withholding @TSA workers pay checks.

Democrats in Congress have chosen to not fund @DHSgov, which means that all of our TSA workers who showed up today are not getting paid.

The men and women of TSA work hard to make sure you and your loved ones can fly safely. This political theater is only making it hard on them and their families.

If you see a TSA officer today, thank them!

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

In years past, this sort of behavior would have been unimaginable from a president of the United States. Unimaginable. There are other words to describe this, but you can simply watch it and feel it yourself. This is being done in public.The press is being attacked in public and private. Having a free press is critical to our democracy. Having a president that knows how to answer questions with class, professionalism, and intelligence is critical to our culture and society.
