@RepTomBarrett Who cares? Listen to your constituents and we are telling you we want you to stand up for Ukraine, stand up against DOGE’s illegal hostile takeover of the government, and speak out against these damaging tariffs. Do a town hall and listen to us, or you’re out in two years.

[Meredith Ann @meremaid]

@RepTomBarrett So you only care about the indiscriminate slashing of the federal workforce and illegal shutting down of departments when it effects veterans? It’s a start, but the “workforce reduction” will have dire impacts across American society for years. Speak up!

[Meredith Ann @meremaid]

@RepTomBarrett So clearly you think it’s important to do a thorough investigation of the crash to identify root causes. The leader of your party has, without evidence, blamed diversity policies and the previous administration. You must know that’s nonsense. Speak out against him!

[Meredith Ann @meremaid]

@RepTomBarrett I’d rather hear what you have to say about the spending freeze. My friend works for a domestic violence nonprofit in your district - they don’t know if they can keep providing vital services. This money was already approved by congress. Speak up about it!

@British_Airways elp! Our flight was cancelled from Newcastle, we were rebooked on a flight from Edinburgh but your agent rebooked our 4 year old daughter on a standby ticket! We are now stuck here, can't get anywhere with your agents on the phone (been disconnected) - HELP!

@My_Metro are the trains off or is this a Pop app error?

[Meredith Ann @meremaid]

Bit stingy here, with only one sweet, eh @OfficialHARIBO? “Treat size,” for ants?

@FiveThirtyEight I am snort-laughing listening to this pod. "Geese are mean, but what if you decide to be mean back?" "I guess I hadn't factored in DEATH." I would love more serious analysis of silly polls, please, just for the odd comic relief!

@simonmayo Vote. Him. Out.

[Meredith Ann @meremaid]

@TheRock my baby does a really good impression of you.

[Meredith Ann @meremaid]

@simonmayo Almost too hot.

@katherinev14 @Lin_Manuel Isn’t it Hercules Mulligan saying “I get the fuck back up again?”

#bbcyourquestions I am due to have a c-section in 4-5 weeks. This is for mental health reasons, no mandatory physical health reason. Will this and other cesareans be classed as "non-essential surgeries" going forward? Real fear of being required to birth differently.

[Meredith Ann @meremaid]

@BBCHughPym I am 34 weeks pregnant. I'm due to have a planned c-section, not because of medical necessity but for mental health reasons (previous traumatic birth). Do you have any idea whether c-sections will also be cancelled and women encouraged to birth naturally?

@DAVID_LYNCH My husband and I sat down to watch Fire Walk With Me. We watched about 30 minutes and were like, “Oh this is so Lynchian.” Then eventually the story was so hard to follow, we suddenly realised we had been watching only the deleted extra scenes.

@jasonsfolly didn’t know you performed swing music at Indian restaurants in Tynemouth. I said hello as I ran past, because even if it’s “not that Jason Isaacs” he still deserves a warm greeting! @KermodeMovie @wittertainment

@My_Metro Just paid on a 27 bus. Wouldn’t take my metro pass. Will you reimburse me, @My_Metro?
