Sen. Slotkin: " I appreciate Sen. Tillis saying something. He's gone further than anybody else. But it's a sad moment when anonymous grand jurors, citizens called at random in Washington, D.C., have more bravery to uphold basic rule of law than some of our Senate colleagues."

My thoughts are with our Canadian neighbors. School shootings are some of the worst moments in human history.

The FAA’s unprecedented flip-flop in closing El Paso airspace—only to reopen it hours later—is raising questions from aviation safety experts.

If the Attorney General is yelling at Congress members during an oversight committee, screaming that the President is the greatest ever and everyone owes him an apology, when the Justice Department is supposed to be an independent entity, maybe she should be immediately dismissed. #EpsteincoverUp

I would much rather have a dozen noncitizens vote than millions of citizens not be able to.

Realizing everyone trump chooses to be around him is just as bad is why he is where he is. He knows the worst of the worst and gives thrm everything to be his little minions. This administration needs to end Article 4 Section II.

Polls show Americans only want to deport the bad ones … like Elon and Melania.

Same!

⛸️ French skater Kevin Aymoz just owned the Winter Olympics ice to Lady Gaga's "Judas" and the crowd absolutely lost it. Bold music choice, flawless execution. This is how you make a statement at Milano Ice Skating Arena. #WinterOlympics #FigureSkating #LadyGaga #IceSkating #WinterSports

Beautiful! 💙⛸️💙⭐️💙🥉💙🌕💙🍁💙 youtu.be/TYq27zdsOvI?...

No, I’m not over the loss of the gold from the free dance. No, I will not be over it anytime soon. I’m not normally furious over a loss, but this was such intentional corruption, I can’t believe an appeal hasn’t been filed already. The U.S. and Canada should stand together in this. ⛸️

Bipartisan vote in House, surprise, surprise. Trump threatens Republicans who voted with Democrats to be primaried. No surprise.

Sickening. #ICEOUT #MN www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

We don't need Gallup poll to tell us Trump is a pathetic president and he actually seems to work hard at being so.

I will hopefully be doing more botanical paintings in the garden and studio this summer. I'm already exploring the various boxes of seed packets and soon all the indoor surfaces will be covered with seed trays. #flowers #botanicalart #watercolour

I’ll believe it when I see it….

I just voted to cancel Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada. This is a major victory for the American people and for Congress reclaiming our constitutional authority over tariffs. And, it's a defeat for Trump and Speaker Johnson, who for months blocked the House from taking this vote.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

After decades of recovery, southern right whales are showing signs of a climate-driven decline in breeding rates, which scientists say is a “warning signal” about changes in the Southern Ocean. #climatecrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Can Ukraine survive without the US? Since Donald Trump's return to office, Kyiv and its European allies have shared one overriding fear: a full U.S. withdrawal from the war effort. Washington remains a supplier of hard-to-replace military hardware — paid for by European allies...

THREAD 🧵 The latest batch of Epstein Files are disgusting and shocking. We wanted to give the public an understanding of the most important takeaways.

It's as if we took the worst, greediest, rudest, most immature people and moved them to positions of extreme responsibility. People who behave as if they were in 7th grade. I dunno about you, but I want people in positions of power that know their shit. I don't wanna get nuked.

The 2026 Winter Olympics figure skating ⛸️ free dance was scored by 9 judges All the judges were relatively close in their two scores, except for one 🤔 The French judge gave Beaudry & Cizeron 🇫🇷 a 137.45 but only gave Chock & Bates 🇺🇸 a 129.74

From t.me/pravdaGerash... 21-year-old #Ukrainian figure skater #Kyrylo_Marsak dedicated his performance to his dad #Andrii, who is currently defending #Ukraine. #Kyrylo skated to the song called "Fall on Me," a father-son duet by #Andrea and #Matteo_Bocelli. His dad sent it to him.

No more French judges! EVER

Look, I still haven't recovered from figure skating's awful judging since Michelle Kwan was ROBBED of the Olympic Gold medal, losing to Tara Lipinski.

But a Ukrainian is denied to compete cuz what’s on his helmet? Controversial French team winning gold is awful for figure skating, abuse survivors | Opinion - USA TODAY

‘Definitely hurts': Chock and Bates break down in tears after figure skating upset

Madison Chock and Evan Bates & Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier were robbed of gold and silver medals #figureskating #Olympics

To refresh your memory, in 2002 Canadian figure skaters Salé + Pelletier were denied gold after a French judge fudged the Russian team's scores in exchange for a Russian judge pumping up French scores in Ice Dance. Salé + Pelletier were later awarded golds, but it damaged the sport's reputation.

This is Kyrylo Marsak. Figure skater from Ukraine. 🇺🇦 His father is on the front lines back home. He did manage to see his son skate and win in the Ukrainian National. Good thing too, since most of his comrades perished in an attack he'd have been caught in that day, if not for his son's skate. 💙

'Three years ago, I don’t think I envisioned this moment. I think it’s a great example for anyone going through a dark time -- mental health challenges, or health issues -- that you can do hard things no matter what.’ -Olympic Bronze Medalist Piper Gilles ❤️💪⛸️🥉

Congratulations to Madi and Evan for their Olympic Silver medal! #MadisonChock #EvanBates #GPFigure (photos from Skate America, Lake Placid)

Every four years, I start watching the Winter Olympics having forgotten that figure skating judging is totally corrupt. Then in two years, I'll do it again with gymnastics and diving and...
