Fun fact: The scrap value of gold and copper inside of a flock camera is worth more than a catalytic converter.

Carry on.

Every single person involved in bringing charges against David Hearn should be removed from office and face charges of malicious prosecution, full stop.

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

The evidence is clear, vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the Reflecting Pool. Some of these acts were even caught on camera. We also provided the U.S. Attorney's office expert and eyewitness testimony to the damage done by vandals and provided every piece of evidence they asked for in the requested time line detailing each area of damage at the pool.

The Reflecting Pool is part of the Lincoln Memorial and dates back to 1922.

@POTUS cares deeply about protecting our sacred national monuments and his leadership has led the restoration of our Nation's Capital by Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Again.

Intentional damage done to the Reflecting Pool is no different than defacing any one of our other national monuments.

We won't back down to deranged people who want to destroy, deface, or degrade our monuments.

@Ezerknegdo1 @newageplant @LeahRain77 Freedom of speech is about government repression of speech, not about willfully being an asshole and annoying everybody in a confined space. She didn’t go to jail- her speech was not suppressed by the government.

From a purely technical standpoint, this might be the worst sentence ever constructed in the English language.

Today, for absolutely NO reason, i’m thinking about how the only reason my grandma bought my brother and I, a Nintendo Gamecube COMPLETELY on a whim, on the last day of school one summer, is because, off the shelf, with your pick of one game and a second controller was $100.00

Good to know the Supreme Court supports farmers getting cancer.

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

The first opinion is in Monsanto v. Durnell. The court holds that the federal law governing pesticide labels bars a lawsuit against Monsanto, the maker of Roundup weedkiller, for failing to include a warning on the label about the risks of cancer.

What was the tax on 11 grand in tips? High end when factored with other income like $3k, if that’s sole income then it was 0. How does 3k cover one cancer treatment let alone all the other stuff…

Hemos hablado brevemente con la mujer que le ha llevado el McDonald’s a Trump. Sharon Simmons nos dice que la eliminación de Trump de los impuestos sobre las propinas le ha cambiado la vida: el año pasado recibió 11.000 dólares en propinas y dice que ese ahorro le ha ayudado a afrontar el tratamiento contra el cáncer de su marido, compensar la caída de ingresos en casa y pagar viajes para ver a su familia. Le ha encantado el Despacho Oval, dice que Trump ha sido muy majo.

@PeterDiamandis The human brain, without reason, sees a launch and immediately goes into panic, just like seeing a snake. Visual processing invokes an instinctual response. Linguistic processing invokes logic. Regardless- letters are nothing if not pictograms. Reading is visual processing.
