@NiallStanage Burn it all down Scott. Let’s go. Keep telling the truth. We need a free press more than ever.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.

I want to say something about @60Minutes since so many conservatives are trashing it.

When my Dad was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma and we were trying to decide who he and my mother should sit down with and talk about the end days of his life - we ultimately landed on Leslie Stahl and @60Minutes. Leslie came to our ranch in Sedona and sat down and profiled both my parents together for an exclusive sit down. We ultimately chose Leslie because of her prestige as a journalist and respected history of the show.

Leslie and her crew were simultaneously professional and respectful of the delicate emotional state my entire family was in. She was in our secluded home as we all grappled with the concept that my dad was dying and fast from a rare cancer in front of the entire world. She and her producers did a wonderful job. Feel free to watch it, it’s beautifully done. This is not a situation just any person without experience can airdrop and handle the dynamics of. This is not something a rookie commentator or podcaster could have maneuvered with the respect needed. Experience does matter.

Not all legacy media is garbage nor are all reporters. This “throw all the bastards out” mentality is obnoxious and just going to breed more insanity and distrust on both sides.

I don’t want woke journalism. I don’t want anitwoke journalism. I just want great journalism.

Be careful what you wish for conservatives, - there could come a day when Rachel Maddow is put in charge instead of Bari Weiss and then tell me how you feel. The pendulum swings both ways.

“Sure you’re #1 in the country right now. Wait till Chris Mack gets extorted by Dino Gaudio and eventually steps down. Then we hire one of our own and he tanks the entire program in 2 years. But get this: fast forward to now..we have the #1 transfer class”

[Dave Hale - Concerned Republican @CountryFirstRep]

It is legitimately a tragedy that the 250th anniversary of this country's birth will be presided over by a president who is EVERYTHING the founders warned us against -- a partisan demagogue who fundamentally loathes the separation of powers and denies election results he dislikes

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Nope. America 250 is nonpartisan and created by congress.

This is a Trump organization

@itsalwaysthemom @MacFarlaneNews @acnewsitics @carrieunderwood Nah you know they’d call Lee and Lara before Carrie!!

[leslied114 @leslied114]

@sarahadams They do want to celebrate America which is why the bipartisan America 250 group was developed to create a celebration we can ALL feel proud of. The performers saw past the Freedom 250 being a glorified celebration of Trump. Good for them. I bet if America 250 asks they’ll say yes

@Brett_A_Taylor Coke Zero is for sure an easier transition from regular Coke and if it existed 30 years ago id provably drink it. But after your taste buds transition to diet coke, the Coke Zero is nasty and too sweet.

[Edmund Heaphy @edmundheaphy]

I cannot overstate how much worse my life would get if Coke Zero ends up supplanting Diet Coke

[leslied114 @leslied114]

Me. Was a registered Republican (and had always voted R mostly) in 2016. Went to caucus against him. Ultimately left the party upon his election.

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

Who can honestly claim, without hesitation, that they have never supported Donald Trump, even for a single moment?

[Jack Appleby @jappleby]

A good rule for Twitter health:

If you use your real name,
And your real face,
On your Twitter?

Never, ever engage with someone who doesn't use their own name + face on their Twitter.

[Gretchen Carlson @GretchenCarlson]

I’m begging @RepThomasMassie to go on the House floor asap & read all of the names in the #EpsteinFiles - you were a hero for survivors - you believed them & fought for them. Your actions were brave & heroic. Now pls blow the whole thing wide open. Thank you.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Trump just defeated the sole Republican who forced DOJ to start releasing the Epstein files.

Tells you everything you need to know about Trump — and what’s left of the feckless @GOP.

[leslied114 @leslied114]

@AJ_421 @itsalwaysthemom @RpsAgainstTrump @GOP You’re right Alastair J. It’s “convicted, rapist”. Not “convicted rapist”. Commas matter. Thanks for the correction.

[Dana O'Neil @DanaONeilWriter]

I might tattoo this from @reredevaux on my arm:
"I’m not going out of my way to hurt people’s feelings, but I take up as much space as I want, and I’m going to be as loud as I want, and if you don’t like that, then, I’m sorry.”

@AdamKinzinger @WhiteHouse So. Much. Winning. 🙄

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Weird, because Spirit Airlines blamed it on rising fuel costs because of Trump’s war in Iran.

Today was Donna Brothers' final time covering the Kentucky Derby for NBC. Before the race, Cherie DeVaux said "it is an honor that you get to do your last walkover with me."

Brothers told DeVaux, "I'm hoping you become the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby."
