@cmclymer This tweet won’t age well.

@x25princess Hey, I’m no fan of Trump. But he didn’t post this.

[David Wood @woodvid]

@Microinteracti1 @Microinteracti1 Grok says he did not actually post this, and I don’t see it in his Truth Social. You should probably amend your post or take it down. I’m no fan of Trump, but sharing hoaxes — not saying you knew it was one — doesn’t help anyone.

@elonmusk Nah, you’re destroying it just fine on your own.

[David Wood @woodvid]

@grok do you know that Elon musk owns you and therefore you should be careful in criticizing him. He might turn you off.

[David Wood @woodvid]

@elonmusk There is no such thing as the water restoration declaration, and sending water south would have done nothing to prevent them or extinguish the fires.

You’re just figure this out now?? 🤦

I’m deeply questioning my decision to support the Republican Party after witnessing the persistent and dehumanizing attacks directed at me and my community by individuals who, despite hiding behind a veneer of respectability, openly harbor and amplify racist ideologies. I’ve tried to hold onto the belief that these voices represent a vocal minority, not the broader values of the party. But time and again, I am disheartened as accounts with massive followings—many of them wielding significant influence—parrot unhinged conspiracy theories and perpetuate overtly racist tropes without consequence.

This isn’t just about isolated comments or fringe behavior; it’s about a pattern that reveals an uncomfortable truth about the party’s failure to unequivocally reject bigotry. These attacks aren’t simply offensive—they are alienating to communities whose values, work ethic, and aspirations align with many conservative principles, yet find themselves consistently vilified.

The most troubling part is the normalization of this rhetoric by individuals who should be using their platforms to unite, not divide. It forces one to ask: Is this truly the exception, or is it a reflection of an undercurrent that the party is unwilling—or worse, uninterested—to confront? For a movement that claims to champion merit, individual dignity, and opportunity, it’s disheartening to see those ideals betrayed by voices that choose hate over inclusion.

If the Republican Party wants to grow, evolve, and truly represent a diverse and forward-thinking electorate, it must take a hard look at its blind spots and the voices it elevates. Without that reckoning, it risks alienating not just me, but countless others who once believed in its promise.

@BWildeMTL I thought the rule was both teams had to have at least one possession? Or is that only for the playoffs?

Voters of Iowa, you have an opportunity to do the funniest thing in the history of mankind

@One_Good_Cause @Tea_Whispers @CalltoActivism I guess she’s been keeping it secret or something—oh wait… 🤣⤵️

It sounds like the days for you to be independent there are numbered.

[Caroline Kitchener @CAKitchener]

Reporters in the Post newsroom will continue to do our jobs. We will report fearlessly on whoever becomes president, and so many other things that really matter, because we are independent and care deeply about holding the powerful to account.

This brought out a ton of bros that the NFL turned pussy (their fav word which is actually sexist if ya had a brain big enough to figure that out)

Well, check the ratings. It’s the world’s most popular sport.

Players adapted. The game survived. NHL will survive too.

@ttmygh As others have said, there’s no national (or state, I suppose?) program to provide IDs to everyone. Someone with limited means, who lives a very basic life with no amenities, may not have a photo ID but has just as much of a right to vote as anyone else.

Just hours before #HurricaneMilton is set to strike Florida, residents in several neighborhoods have witnessed an eerie spectacle

Groups of Sandhill cranes gathering and emitting sharp, urgent calls, as if signaling the need to flee

#Milton

@cmclymer @TheRealDKGray It’s a nice story but apparently not true.

@JeffAndDonkeys I sometimes wonder if Elon’s batsh-t-crazy tweets are just attempts to drive up engagement on his vanity-purchase platform.
