@garypaljr Terrific news. NYRA’s Handicap Triple Crown used to fill this role.

[Acyn @Acyn]

McGovern: It took us forever to compensate the victims of 9/11, and here you have this $1.8 billion slush fund that doesn’t go through any committees or hearings. All of a sudden, they have the money to compensate convicted felons—people who attacked our democracy and tried to overthrow a free and fair election.

This is the most corrupt administration in our history.

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

Source after source told 60 Minutes they fear today’s insider trading scandal about military secrets is tomorrow’s national security scandal. If market-watchers can spot irregular trades, surely enemies can, too. And they’ll make their war plans accordingly. https://t.co/EwO84oHzs8

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton for US Senate in Texas.

Paxton was impeached by his own party for bribery and corruption, said the Uvalde school shooting was God’s plan, and gave a child sex abuser only a 60-day jail sentence.

@steveno44 @aintscarylarry J6 committee did not try the insurrectionists. They were tried individually in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The evidence was so compelling that 99% were convicted by juries of their peers. They had full due process, including the right to appeal.

@blocht574 @drantbradley This has all long been foreseeable. I went on my 1st tours as a parent in 2012 & 5x college presidents were asked about runaway spending. EVERY SINGLE ONE replied, “We just need to get better at fundraising.”

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China. 

Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well. 

The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer. 

Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company.

That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company.

Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies.

CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

[Good Will Stocking @GoodWillStockin]

You are a retard. He backs Trump 9 times out of 10. He’s promoting what Trump ran on during his campaign. Trump is the one that changed his tune not Massie. Massie is one of the best Reps in the country. You and your cult have backstabbed the American public and should be ashamed.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism. The day when all of Europe marks the end of the most terrible war of the 20th century. A war after which there should have been only genuine peace. That was the dream back then, when the guns of World War II began to fall silent.

That war turned our land into a battlefield of brutal fighting, abuse in occupied territory, and the mass destruction of people and life. The losses of the Ukrainian people were among the greatest in World War II. And the contribution of Ukrainians to the defeat of the Nazis was also among the greatest. Millions of Ukrainians, serving in various armies of the Anti-Hitler Coalition states, fought against Nazism. Millions of Ukrainians were among the victors, having done everything in their power to ensure that absolute evil was defeated.

Unfortunately, 81 years later, we are once again forced to stop evil – evil that is just as absolute. Evil that brings nothing but ruins and abuse. And evil based on a similar ideology of enmity. An updated version of Nazism, marked: made in Russia.

Today, such Russian aggression can and must be defeated by the united free world. And I am grateful to everyone who helps us defend life. I am grateful to everyone who is not allowing this Russian regime to dictate to the world what comes next. Defending people’s lives and the freedom of nations from Putin is an absolutely dignified way to honor the memory of those who did not allow Hitler to subjugate Europe and the world.

Eternal gratitude to all who fought against Nazism and liberated people! Blessed memory to all innocent victims of World War II! Glory to every defender of life! Glory to Ukraine!

🚨 ON AIR FORCE ONE: TRUMP SAYS US IS CONSIDERING BUYING BEEF FROM ARGENTINA

If you’re keeping track at home:

- We bailout Argentina for $40 billion
- They sell soybeans to China
- Our farmers get nothing & going bankrupt because of his tariff policies

@3coltshandicap Racing fan for 50 years. I see no basis whatsoever for the assertion that Journalism is distance-limited. As of now, I think Sovereignty is a solid choice to win the BCC, but there's a very good chance Journalism is second, and the exacta may pay a fair price.

[Devin Duke @sirDukeDevin]

Federal agents raid Ventura County Farms with tear gas and children running away in horror.

This ain't f*cking right. At all.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper. 

DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies. 

We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.

[Mark Moran @mmoran313]

@StuckInMiddleU @gtconway3d Do you know that Trump was President for the first 10 months of the pandemic?

[Mark Moran @mmoran313]

@BridgetteOnX @BillMelugin_ and this activist Governor. https://t.co/SbtrJOywfE

[Kristi Noem @KristiNoem]

The Pentagon and White House did not let me know that my South Dakota National Guard had been activated to potentially respond to the China spy balloon.

They did not let me know it was over South Dakota until it had already passed.

They kept Governors in the dark.

[Mark Moran @mmoran313]

@BridgetteOnX @BillMelugin_ The judge relied on the view of this activist President. https://t.co/KNky12wTPf

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case.
We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

[Mark Moran @mmoran313]

@DollarDanny2002 @SwiftHitter Yes, they would, and likely file criminal charges.

[Mark Moran @mmoran313]

@3coltshandicap Forget Crown winners - we need bigger & more competitive fields. Only 8 horses in Preakness vs avg of 10; incl. place horse from Derby & two also-rans; only drama was caused by a jockey. Only 8 ran in Belmont. Only one horse ran in all 3 races. Why we fighting for this?

[Mark Moran @mmoran313]

@3coltshandicap A more relaxed schedule would make it HARDER to win the Triple Crown, not easier. On the current schedule, we will never again have Affirmed/Alydar, Sunday Silence/Easy Goer, Alysheba/Bet Twice, Silver Charm/Free House etc. facing off 3x.
