@Wendy1u17 Plastic bag in trash can?

@Nover2A @OrinKerr As I understand it, they can ask the owner to provide access, or they can just seize the device for forensic search later, taking however long they want to return it to the owner or not. If that isn’t the current law, I’d appreciate someone correcting me.

@MayorBowser @WashProbs These maps would be much more helpful if they indicated WHEN the roads would be closed. All day on the 4th? After 6 pm on the 4th until 2 am on the 5th? WHEN?????

@ChetterHub @harryjsisson Most members of Congress parked their consciences so long ago they’ve completely forgotten where they put them.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Wow. Epstein survivors just released this incredibly powerful PSA. It’s one of the most moving things I’ve seen. Every House member should see this ahead of the vote to release the files.

@Doeggel @Upsidasium I believe that in Republican it is “Ich habe es nicht gewusst.”

@DianneCallaha16 The email was from [email protected], which I believe is a legitimate Social Security Administration address. I received it at 2.39 am, long before the President signed the bill into law. It was highly unusual, unprofessional, and not at all nonpartisan.

@RpsAgainstTrump It wasn’t her turn to pretend to oppose the regime. This time, it was Susan Collins’s turn, so Murkowski had to take the fall. The entire Congress is nothing more than kayfabe.

@SethAbramson Art critic Mullah Muhammad Omar had ideas about how to maintain similar sculptures in Bamiyan, Afghanistan.

@ThrillaRilla369 When you did that may be relevant to your question, but when I did that back in the 1960s, it was quite common, almost universal in my junior and senior high schools, which were overwhelmingly middle-class suburban schools. So, in the long run I’d say No,

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

@Angry_Staffer Which do you think is the bigger national security threat: Parasite, or Emilia Pérez? 🤣

Or, should I ask: which is the bigger threat to Donald Trump’s own insecurities?

[Symone D. Sanders Townsend @SymoneDSanders]

Tell me again how I’m being dramatic, race baiting or making up scenarios to scare people? This is very unfortunate and scary. This is happening because our government thinks they are above reproach and that they are the law as opposed to being beholden to the law.

@MeidasTouch I loved that bit about the advance party going door to door and finding no takers!

[Ted Coltman @tcoltman]

@RadioFreeTom Does he know that Al Capone was real and is now dead? I mean, doesn’t Capone deserve at least the respect that Trump gives to Hannibal Lecter … “the late, great Hannibal Lecter”? 🤣

The odious Douthat and the #BrokenTimes give airtime to a bilious racist. All the bile that's fit to flush.

“Praise Jesus, we successfully voted to take food and healthcare from poor people to benefit the rich.
Amen.”

@_jeff_jaramillo @jemelehill This isn’t about who gets to attend briefings or press conferences and ask questions of WH press staff or Administration principals. It’s about who gets to stay physically close to the president, particularly as he moves from one location to another or participates in a ceremony.

[Ted Coltman @tcoltman]

@jemelehill @WinstonOrozco_1 The only appropriate response is for journalists reporting actions or statements solely on the basis of a pool report to attribute the report entirely to the WH press office and not to accept the veracity of any pool information without confirmation from independent sources.
