I think now—more than ever—is a good time to remind Americans of the popular adage: ➡️“nothing brings people together more than a common enemy”🫱🏾‍🫲🏼✨HIS cruelty and incompetence are unmistakable, the infighting is public, the dam’s breaking—WE must unite now, before it’s too late.

Rep. Tom Kean should sponsor a bill giving all Americans annual, paid 4-month leave for depression symptoms and name it the Federal Relief Act for Understanding Depression Symptoms through Treatment, Education, and Recovery, or aptly FRAUDSTER.

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.

Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f

Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:

“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”

reading all of this, I’m getting emotional—thinking of the immense loss of selfless leadership, gratitude, and just seriousness that used to define the role of POTUS

My wife retired from the military during Trump’s first presidency after 22 years of service.

Trump’s letter of appreciation was signed using autopen. They had to blow the signature up, which made it look pixelated. It was garbage.

…which is where she put it as soon as we got home.

I sent @BarackObama a letter request two months before her retirement ceremony because that’s the last leader MSgt. Shead served under.

…it showed up in our mailbox the morning after she retired. It was PERFECT timing.

It’s been framed and displayed for guests to see. 🇺🇸🫡

“So anyone who comes over knows what a real President does for service members, even after leaving the White House.”

Homosexuality has a place in America — and the Senate. 👋

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Isn’t “CHILI” kinda homophonic for the first day of Pride Month, no?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

My dad retired at 59

I will not

He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.

He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.

At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.

Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.

Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.

Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.

Just passed the potatoes.

Make it make sense
