Then what is?

"The man who doesn't read has absolutely no advantage over the man who can't read." -Mark Twain

Wolf Blitzer just called into CNN. He says the shooting occurred on the floor above where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was being held. Wolf says he was very close to the gunman and that a police officer threw him to the ground in an effort to protect him.

Thanks to my many years in martial arts, after I have to punch you in the throat, I will then pull you forward and put your face in the dirt.

US military kills two more people in strike on alleged drug boat in Pacific

Watching the CA governor’s debate - Bianco is is pompous ass, Hilton Is a mini Rupert Murdoch clone, Mahan sounds like a wanna be tech bro but sincere, Steyer really cares but lacks depth. Becerra & Porter have deep convictions & knowledge of what’s needed. Overall I give a slight edge to Becerra.

It’s so refreshing to listen to Xavier Becerra in this debate. No bombast, no script, no meanness. Just experience & humility. This is an easy choice, California. 💙 #CAGovDebate #TeamBecerra #BecerraEra #BecerraForGovernor #Becerra #Debate #TíoXavi #California #CA

Guys I'm watching the CA governor's debate and don't worry, we're not going to have a Republican governor

BIGGIE!

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.

Our feelings about the last ten years captured in a single frame.

Meenu Batra is the only Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu court interpreter in Texas. She had spent most of her life in Texas, working and raising her kids. ICE detained her despite having humanitarian protection.

Fact: Tom Steyer's former hedge fund, Farallon Capital Management, invested nearly $90 million in the Corrections Corporation of America (now known as CoreCivic), a major private prison company, while he was in charge. California. Don't fuck this up! Vote for Becerra. @xavierbecerra.bsky.social

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

Resist!

Eric Swalwell has ENDED his campaign for governor! Make sure every California voter knows to NOT (repeat NOT) vote for Swalwell!!! It is too late for names to be removed from the California ballot. As such, Swalwell’s name will still show up on the ballot.

Hungarians are turning out at record pace to vote JD Vance’s and Vladimir Putin’s best friend out of office. This is remarkable. -Democratic Wins Media

The arrogance of Vance and the administration. Not, “we couldn’t reach a deal,” but rather “they chose not to accept our terms.” The obvious mindset of the US does what it wants and all other countries, not to mention the Pope, fall into line or face the consequences.

Barack Obama sent seasoned diplomats and nuclear scientists to negotiate the Iran Deal. Donald Trump sent a few real estate bros and JD Vance. Failure was a foregone conclusion.

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

Smokey says hello #caturday

I’m in with the following conditions: 1. No AIPAC 2. Rip trumps name off of everything 3. Demolish the ballroom 4. Put the plane in the Gulf of Mexico in front of Mar-a-lago 5. Investigate, prosecute the entire Trump family and regime 6. Pack SCOTUS 7. Restore women’s rights immediately

New scam: the sender (look at who sent this) isn't the SSA. It's a phishing account. The email address for government agencies ends in ". gov" , not "go-optic.com" #SSAphishingScam #Scam

Delicious!!

He just bought CBS...

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

It cannot be ruled out that this is a threat to use a nuclear weapon against Iran

This behavior and language is unstable and unprofessional. The American people deserve real leadership. Trump has destroyed 250 years of American leadership The GOP is complicit. #25thAmendment #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Speaker of the Iran parliament to Trump: “Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living HELL for every single family, and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu's commands. Make no mistake: You won't gain anything through war crimes.”
