Yes, this is it. Getting Obama 2008 vibes and not in a copycat way

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

@JGreenbergSez @RachelMoiselle @dannydanon Is Israel a US ally or not? The US is on the side of Ukraine not Russia (even if tenuous under Trump)

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

@GergelyOrosz The US CIS order is now out and it matches the ones shared on social media. How they can just ignore what was in the exec order I don’t know but this version seems preferable

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

NEW: Hours before a new entry ban is supposed to go into effect, the federal government officially acknowledges for the first time that the restrictions do NOT apply to people who current have H-1B visas.

@kbartholin @donwinslow @CNN She’s also on the White House grounds. Almost certainly from early COVID period

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@SeanTrende But would affiliates have been in revolt if the FCC chair hadn’t threatened them? I’m not so sure… that revolt happened after Carr’s statements and was led by Nexstar, who has a multi-billion dollar acquisition pending that requires FCC approval

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@lxeagle17 Or maybe he’ll announce they’re suing the federal circuit court about the tariff ruling, like they sued the entire federal bench in Maryland over their immigration rulings (neither of which is a thing you can actually do)

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@BenRothenberg And they’re airing a doubles round of 16 match on ESPN, on a holiday. Hard to imagine that otherwise

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@ScottHickle @WHOOP @ouraring @ThroneScience That is a very dirty toilet to use in a promo photo…

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@Carambasson @jon_wertheim Yeah neither seems optimal. You could also have more mixed teams of top singles with a top doubles player, or maybe do a quarter of doubles specialists and a quarter of singles stars paired with doubles specialists… seems worth experimenting

[Acyn @Acyn]

Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?

Epstein: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights.

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@ReichlinMelnick He clearly wants to be in the running for a Supreme Court vacancy. It reads like an exercise in finding a way to side with the administration (without touching the merits)

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@signulll He also could’ve leaned into a love of the game of networking/job apps/interviewing to set himself up for what could’ve been an obvious next step (interview and job search coaching)

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@lxeagle17 Also wouldn’t dems prefer he roll back his bad policies? I sure would. The TACO stuff only makes that less likely

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@levie @yishan I’m not so sure it would be a mild recession. Could be quite severe

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@jbarro Really unclear to me he even has the authorities he’s claiming under IEEPA. But unfortunately undoing this through the courts would be long, messy and uncertain. Congress needs to assert itself

[Julian Smyth @jhsmyth]

@jonfavs Elon does not seem happy either

[Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈 @JosephPolitano]

@AliceFromQueens Elon personally is defo not happy about the tariffs

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

28% of the customers in @flexport's call down yesterday said they're pausing all ocean freight bookings from Asia until there's more clarity on where tariffs will end up.
