@Taniel Our former mayor still has real public support and respect. I am a big fan. But in this jungle primary for governor, I think Democratic voters focused almost entirely on who had a real chance to make the runoff.

@LarrySabato Trump seems so scarred by the horrific events he sparked on Jan 6 that he spends part of every day trying to erase the ugly reality from our collective memory and history.

@lawindsor At least he’s finally focused on a core issue Americans care about- the size of the reflecting pool on the National Mall.

@EducationNext As the cost of college skyrockets, more families are questioning the value of the enormous expense and debt that often follows. This means high schools must become more effective at preparing students for meaningful employment with the relevant skills and knowledge.

@nickmelvoin Congratulations on a very impressive win!

@mkraju “I know the Constitution says only Congress can declare war. But Trump and I should be exempt from the law. It could weaken our image as tough guys.”

[Mark Slavkin @markslavkin]

@AP Is this was Rubio meant when he told Congress “the war is over”? I imagine people facing income missiles would disagree.

@jamiedupree I’m sympathetic to anyone facing a health challenge. But an elected official has an obligation to those they serve. Voters deserved to know the situation when Kean stopped showing up, not weeks or months later.

@MeidasTouch His lie collapsed quickly when Iran fired off a barrage of missiles today to attack sites in Kuwait.

@DanielNMiller Much more recently, the merger of Getty Oil and Texaco in 1984 created a financial windfall for the estate of J Paul Getty. That fueled the expansion of the Getty Trust and the eventual construction of the Getty Center.

@CBSEveningNews @CBSNews This appointment reveals Trump’s careless disregard for the details of our national security and safety. The Senate is unlikely to confirm Pulte, a man who lacks any relevant qualifications.

@UnrigLA Does Richard Riordan count?

[Mark Slavkin @markslavkin]

@RedCoreHardCore @CBSNews My main concern is giving our military the role of cop, prosecutor, judge and jury. Capturing and arresting drug traffickers is important. Killing them because we see a future threat is wrong.

@jonallendc I’m curious what those Republicans who embrace Trump and Paxton see as “character issues.”

[Mark Slavkin @markslavkin]

@FlimflamSlim @CBSNews I think the term “narco terrorist” was simply made up by the Trump administration. Curious if you know of use of the term in the past by any military or law enforcement officials.

@TheAtlantic @JonLemire @michaelscherer Before political parties, our Founding Fathers believed Congress would be a major check against presidential abuses of power. A certain rivalry or competition for influence would inspire Congress to push against a President. They didn’t imagine Congress would simply roll over.

@ABC7 The January 6 rioters were properly charged and convicted for their crimes. Trump’s disgusting pardons for these criminals sought to cast them as “victims”. They are in no way victims and have no claim on our tax dollars.

White House breaks with precedent by not yet releasing results from the president's most recent physical exam. https://t.co/DjORIH9COv
