I will remember the 2025-2026 Buffalo Sabres team for the rest of my life. The OGs were already tapped in, but they reignited a love for the game for a new generation. An absolutely wonderful hockey team that will be recognized as such. Love you all so much.
#Charlotte Water has begun asking for voluntary water restrictions due to the drought. If conditions worsen or people don't do enough voluntarily, these could become mandatory. Full story here-->https://t.co/Ni6KNmNLiv #cltwx#ncwx#scwx#wcnc#drought
I don't think people understand how bad the drought has gotten here in North Carolina. One of WRAL reporters took this picture at Falls Lake, which is the main drinking water source for the city of Raleigh. #ncwx
I try not to make political posts. I really do. But I'm watching the @HillaryClinton testimony right now, and it's one of those moments where something just hits you in a way you can't scroll past.
Watching her answer questions, make her points with precision and composure, command the room with the kind of quiet competence that used to be the baseline for public service... it's a painful reminder. This country had a chance to choose a fundamentally different path, and we didn't take it.
You don't have to agree with every policy position she ever held. That's not the point. The point is that we were offered serious, prepared, deeply knowledgeable leadership, and we said no thanks. That's the American tragedy. Not a partisan one. A civic one.
Okay. Back to not making political posts. https://t.co/B112Nef9Md
Pope Leo XIV walked into one of Rome’s most crime-ridden neighborhoods this weekend — and for the first time in his pontificate, he was flanked by altar girls.
Then, quoting the Second Vatican Council, he said: “the joys and the hopes, the sufferings and the anxieties of the people of God must be the joys and the hopes, the sufferings and the anxieties of the entire Church.”
The Church, he insisted, cannot hide from people’s wounds. https://t.co/EImuFsyAFm
Jesus teaches us that true righteousness consists in love and that, within every precept of the Law, we must learn to identify a call to love. It is not enough to refrain from killing a person physically, if one then kills with words and undermines the other person's dignity.
If the US wants to increase its pool of merchant mariners, how about @DOTMARAD@SecDuffy@SecWar@POTUS we make it more affordable for the cadets at the maritime academies, such as @MaritimeCollege.
Why are we asking students to pay for the fuel for the training ships?
A drug trafficker was caught after stowing away on a barge in San Juan — because US mariners noticed something was wrong & acted, working with the @USCGSoutheast to take action.
Jones Act mariners don't just move cargo. They’re part of US security. 🇺🇸⚓️

Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?
And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.
Trump thinks he can decide how our elections are run. WRONG.
Bondi thinks she can use Americans as pawns to interfere with free and fair elections. WRONG.
Trump thinks of states as just agents for the federal government. WRONG.
Everything this regime does and thinks is just wrong, wrong, wrong.
I served for 22-years in the Army. I did four combat tours across Desert Storm and Iraq. Hearing this brutish fool refer to the streets of the United States being “in theater” like it’s a combat deployment and not protecting and serving the public is disgusting. This is a war zone because these masked agents, armed to the teeth, scooping up moms and toddlers in the school pick up line made it a combat zone…period. This is their failure. Congress needs to do their damn jobs.
American Catholics, in particular, cannot shrug this off or hide in our pews. We are no longer a powerless minority in this country; we are a community tens of millions strong, with resources, institutions, media platforms, and yes — even a pope from our homeland.
We have a voice, and a moral duty to use it.
If we decide collectively that Trump and Vance should no longer lead this country, rest assured, they will no longer be in charge.
If we won’t stand up now against blatant injustice and state violence, who will? If we won’t call a lie a lie, who are we serving? God certainly doesn’t need our complicity with evil. We’re called to be disciples of truth and just. We must not be handmaidens of this dictatorship of lies. https://t.co/MbAzQnNtQy
He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.
Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build America's Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes like the anti-abortion movement.
Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.
Just a thought for @JoeBiden, @BarackObama, @BillClinton, and George Bush, but today would be a great day for all former living Presidents to go together to Minnesota and to help defend Democracy.
This response to our own allies for sending a small number of troops to Greenland for training is bad for America, bad for American businesses, and bad for America's allies. It's great for Putin, Xi and other adversaries who want to see NATO divided. The fact that a small handful of "advisors" are actively pushing for coercive action to seize territory of an ally is beyond stupid. It hurts the legacy of President Trump and undercuts all the work he has done to strengthen the NATO alliance over the years.
