@DHSgov Dumbest policy ever.

@BohunickaNikola Hero.

Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Many people didn’t understand a word Bad Bunny said during his Super Bowl halftime performance, but it was iconic because you could feel the love of people and culture. Puerto Rican culture is American Culture. Together we are America.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

I was in high-pressure combat situations in Iraq, where I didn’t always know if civilians were a threat or not. But I was trained to de-escalate situations first — not to get drunk on power and shoot first. What the agents in Minnesota did was murder.

Christian Nationalism looks like seeing Jesus hanging on the cross and saying, "he should have just obeyed the law."

Christian Nationalism looks like the Samaritan leaning over to the man beaten on the side of the road and saying, "before I pay for your treatment and shelter, tell me, are you here legally?"

Christian Nationalism looks like Jesus saying to his disciples before feeding the 5,000, "go make sure everyone here has a job and isn't just looking for a handout."

Christian Nationalism looks like using the Bible to seek first the power of the empire rather than the self sacrificial love of Jesus.

Christian nationalism looks like worshiping power rather than loving God and our neighbors.

Christian nationalism looks nothing like the real Jesus.

Every reply to my Alex Pretti tweets that say:
He FAFO
He’s a commie
He’s a terrorist
He’s a fa**ot
He’s a ret*rd
He deserved it
Etc. Etc.

Comes from an account with either God, Christian, or both in their bio.

I’ll never forget the people who let one raging madman rewrite their entire personality and value system. Watching folks abandon everything they once claimed to believe just to fall in line and excuse the most heinous behavior will be studied for years by psychologists and historians alike.

Donald Trump isn’t just a politician. He’s an infection in the bloodstream of America, and the damage to our national soul is catastrophic.

@billbrextoncpa And this heroic action saved .0001% of your company's 2026 budget, but had a disproportionate impact on employee perceptions. Good finance leaders know where to focus their efforts.

@MLFootball I'm glad I was there that day.

@SNYGiants This guy is great. Class act.

@sircalebhammer No one who has experienced the coastal cities will want to live In Dallas or Houston. Austin has a lot to offer but is also a small town lacking infrastructure and major cultural amenities. I wouldn't be so quick to declare Texas the future of the USA.

[michael @michael_a_thomp]

@mnolangray I was surprised when I realized that NYC has much better outdoor recreation than Austin. Texas generally sucks for the outdoors.

@AuburnEinstein Agree, but the commentator also deserves "worst announcing of all time."
