@janecoaston @GaryWinslett We’ve had some terrible presidents, but the likes of Buchanan, Harding, and Nixon weren’t systematically destroying everything that is good about our country. We aren’t durable. We’re ignorant, selfish, and gullible, and now we’re paying the price.

@ClistonBrown Every time a politician says “This isn’t who we are,” I shout at the TV, “It’s exactly who we are. That’s the problem!”

@SidKhurana3607 It’s not so much that it’s French Canadian. It’s basically northern Appalachia.

@mmpadellan There was no president James Van Buren. If you’re going to post stuff like this, at least get the names right.

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day.

1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

There were disturbing developments this week that will undoubtedly affect your health.

But most people didn't notice, because they weren't so splashy, or may not seem like a big deal.

But I want to talk to you about each of them, why they matter, and why we should be worried:

@DanielleCandela He is a good man and was a very good president, but his vanity is a huge part of the reason we’re in a huge mess now.

[Ted Russell 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @samiam1955]

@WalshFreedom I have no interest in listening to someone whose vanity is a large part of why we’re in this mess.

I am sorry, Karoline Levitt @PressSec, but you are lying through your teeth to the American people. Or you’re just not very smart. Trump‘s tariffs are self-inflicted stupidity and pain for the American people. Inflation under Biden was caused by a global pandemic and in fact Biden’s policies reduced the impact and the enormity of that inflation and made the American economy the envy of the world! Trump has now single-handedly crashed that robust growing economy into a sink hole of his undoing! And he and Republicans will pay a hefty political price!!

@RobWrightImages @MASSFIREBUFF I drove by on I-95 southbound as this was happening. The electronic sign just before it said there was a crash near Exit 3, so it may have been more than just a brush fire.

@RobWrightImages @MASSFIREBUFF That’s Sherburne Rd. Shelburne Rd is Rt 7 in Burlington, VT.

@FrankBelluccia @Jack_Frodo Not true. I worked for an engine mfgr, so I’m an “airplane person”. My specialty is materials, not aerodynamics. Analysis and FAA certification for bird strike, like any other aspect of design and certification, involves multiple engineering disciplines, not just aerodynamics.

But this js false, there are multiple studies comparing vaccinated vs unvaccinated, I will list a few

@ClistonBrown Why would that be unpopular? It’s stating the obvious.

@atrupar No reputable scientist has EVER said “By [date] we will know [a conclusive result of a study]. Any idiot who says such a thing knows nothing about the scientific process.

The manufacturing boom that started under the Biden administration is grinding to a halt under Trump.
