What a day to be a Sixers fan! #clapyourhands

[LeBron James @KingJames]

another championship.

I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.  

Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!

BREAKING: Tina Peters, who tried to undermine Colorado’s free and fair election system, will reportedly be in DC for Trump’s bogus election fraud speech tonight.

No matter how many lies Donald Trump, Tina Peters, or other election deniers tell, we will keep fighting to protect your right to vote.

[Jennifer Bendery @jbendery]

NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper is calling on Trump to personally pay back taxpayers for the millions he spent revamping the Reflecting Pool, now a cesspool of algae + chunks of blue sealant.

“This was not a result of vandalism but your admin’s incompetence." https://t.co/nRuG6bQLXR

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Tina Peters is guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado.

She tried to undermine Colorado’s free and fair election system. When she was caught red-handed, she was prosecuted by a Republican district attorney and rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers.

Reducing her sentence sends the wrong message to those seeking to undermine trust in our elections and it will do nothing to deter Donald Trump’s illegal attacks on Colorado. I strongly disagree with this decision.

The National Science Board should be guided by science, not political science.

Firing independent experts is a major blow to American innovation and discovery.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

“I’m not sleeping well…if I didn’t have a son, I’d probably quit.”

That’s what a Colorado farmer told me recently.

And he’s not alone.

Families are getting squeezed from every direction from groceries and gas to health care and housing.

Costs are up. Paychecks aren’t keeping pace.

It’s unsustainable.

1/ As we mark Tax Day, let’s look at the damage Trump’s causing:

[Sean Simons @seanrsimons]

Senator Hickenlooper:

Trump “just threatened to kill an entire civilization. That’s not tough. It’s a war crime. And just a reminder, the statute of limitations on war crimes is never.”

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

This morning, President Trump threatened to completely wipe out Iran.

An entire country of 93 million.

That’s a war crime. Plain and simple. 

This war needs to end. NOW.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Another day, another unhinged press conference from President Trump. 

I ran a brewpub and dealt with plenty of belligerent bullies.

When someone got out of line? 

We cut them off.
We showed them the door.

So why are Republicans still serving this guy?

[Sean Simons @seanrsimons]

Imagine the goodwill and free PR @Carvana (featured prominently in the background of this video) could generate if they gave this poor human a new car.

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: The car that was completely encased in ice in Philadelphia has finally been towed, owner says it is totaled.

The car became encased in ice from cars driving by following a water main break that caused flooding in the street.

“And there she goes! yes it is totaled btw!… the inside it soaked. yes, it did start but now will not,” the owner of the car said.

@AliRogin @washingtonian @abeaujon What a fun read. Hope you’re well, Ali!

@Alexander_Tin Many thanks for all of your great reporting!

When the United States and other governments suddenly cut their aid budgets, I know for a fact that more children will die. Here’s the proof I’m showing Congress. https://t.co/Oa05MTyDoU

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Traitor?

Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

[Sean Simons @seanrsimons]
