And I would steal 300 fast
Just to be the man who commits treason
And takes home all that Saudi cash.”

@BrendanPedersen People are going to lose billions of dollars
Where it goes, nobody knows.

@xiqbrain Your percentages add up to 290%.
Is that the test? Find the obvious math error in our stupid advertising?

@mikulaja @jacksongates The proponents for interchange caps lie constantly, so why shouldn’t the opponents?

@washingtonmovie This seems like a really stupid ad for a Washington bio pic.

@_newspapers @HeraldandNews My mother was an orphan. On Mother’s Day, every kid at church wore a red carnation in honor of their mother, but she had to wear a white carnation because her mother was dead. She hated being singled out and for that reason she always disliked Mother’s Day.

@BrendanPedersen A guy making a $50 bet to learn how Kalshi works. I don’t care. Where are the actions against the White House insiders making millions on bets related to Trump’s war on Iran? Can we bet on whether Kalshi will ever go after Trump insiders abusing their office for personal gain?

@kolobmoon @BeschlossDC “All the President’s Men” isn’t about Nixon. It’s about the reporters. There can’t be an equivalent movie about Trump because the mainstream media has not exposed Trump the way Woodstein did Nixon. The real question is, in a modern version of ATPM, who would be the heroes?

@MerriamWebster @ZachLowe_NBA What exactly is the optimum level of strangulation for a modern language? Historically, experts said anything under 6.2% was acceptable, but more recent analysis has concluded anything under 9% is not epic.

April 2, 1926: Charles Ponzi is convicted in a Jacksonville, Fla., court of illegal real estate sales in the state, where he has been trying to market swampland as valuable property. The notorious con man is already facing a prison sentence in Massachusetts for schemes there.

@MerriamWebster Is “bimbofication” going to get added to the dictionary?

[Steve Middlebrook @stmdc]

@mikulaja Ask Donald Trump.

@MerriamWebster can it be the federal agency of the day, too? @FiscalService
