I think this is 100% correct.

I guess a bunch of U.S. airlines are boo-hoo'ing about fuel costs and are requesting a government bailout. Well, where's my bailout for all the expensive grocery bills and higher power costs? Pony up.

There was a bug

I hope the Strait of Hormuz stays closed forever and everyone is forced to use wind turbines and solar. Humanity adapts and innovates when billionaires aren’t calling the shots. Let old systems crumble. Let capitalism croak. Let data centers collect dust. It’s time to quit fossil fuels cold turkey.

Interesting: At a debate in Ward 3, all nine Democratic candidates for an At-Large seat on the D.C. Council said they would oppose more by-right construction in D.C. All of them said existing community engagement tools (largely through ANCs) should be maintained.

Sir: your approval has fallen to almost 30%, your tariffs crushed US with inflation, which soared due to your absurd war with Iran, there is almost no support for your paramilitary terrorizing Democratic cities, what is your plan?! Trump: demand a massive golden ballroom!! Sycophants: brilliant!!

I want a Democratic Congress that does not let up on him for anything. I *expect* them to find the best way to do that.

when a democratic president takes office lindsey will be the first to cut off funding

She couldn't even avoid using the GOP-preferred slur for Democratic elected officials in her incredulous denunciation of rhetoric. They are so full of shit.

Average Democratic politician: "Thank you for shooting me, Sir Officer! I hope you can deduct this from your taxes."

We have now had over 100 “Ten Fuckin’ One” shirts ordered and raised over $5k to help defend our Virginia Senate Democratic majority that delivered these maps! Thank you! Tweet our slogan tonight and tag me if you would like me to follow back!

I expect Dems to win a big majority in the House, & the Senate to be more than 51-49 & probably more than 52-48. Depending on what happens w the filibuster Dems might be able to pass whatever they want. But Trump will veto nearly everything. Dems should do it anyway. It links “fight harder” w policy

House Republicans have blocked the bipartisan DHS funding bill the Senate passed for the past 32 days. Mike Johnson could fund these agencies today. He’s choosing not to.

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt: She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.

Scott MacFarlane on the WHCD: Celebrating the First Amendment while honoring leaders who attack and sue the press “doesn’t seem like a good fit.” MacFarlane says he’d rather stay home than attend an event that feels out of step with its own purpose.

They took a chance on my book—and I won’t forget it 📚 #indiebookstore #bookcommunity #supportindieauthors #books #readers

@celestialram.bsky.social and I saw a bear when we went hiking it was soooo cool I have never seen a wild bear before

Had this song on my mind all morning. RIP D'Angelo.

Karoline Leavitt to Fox before the WHCD event: There will be some shots fired tonight

Cherry Blossoms 🌸 Even when the cherry blossoms fall, their fragrance lingers. Spring

If the WH new ball room is critical for future security of POTUS, maybe he should cancel all future rallies, golf games, Mar-a-lardo stays etc and just hunker down in his bunker. I for one would enjoy the break.

The cat has learned that if he keeps knocking things off the dresser, I will open the door, and he can leave. This is not a positive development. I am being trained.

Good morning, 🦋 family! 🌅☀️ Waking up to this peaceful Sunday sunrise, full of hope and new beginnings. I picked up an Alt X account, @LakerPatrick2! Please visit me there as well!😁 Here’s to a blessed, joyful day ahead. Let’s make it a great one!☕️☘️🙏

Putin told him to stage an attempt

Hot off the press...

He attended the WHCA dinner (his first) solely to stage the assassination attempt. It was another sympathy ploy to boost ratings and use as an argument for his ballroom This is a desperate man.

I will keep criticizing the President and his administration for being a terrible president and administration

🦋🦋✌️🦋🦋

So let me get this right. Trump skips the correspondence dinner all 4 years of his first term and 1 year of his second. His approval ratings drop to new lows. And he decides to go this time, where somehow an active shooter got close enough to cause a scene... again But trump is fine... again...

I'm not sure I could run 100 yards at a 4:33 pace. It's amazing that a human can do it for 26 miles. apnews.com/article/mara...

lol

That mentalist was better than I thought, got a whole damn room of reporters to believe an illusion.

Blanche is saying that “This is why the DHS needs to be funded.” 1) I saw not one MASKED agent in the footage from the WHCA 2) No one had pepper spray spayed into their eyes 3) Not one person was “disappeared” 4) No innocent attendees were shot in cold blood. Summary: FUCK ICE

Acting AG Blanche to Margaret Brennan, Face The Nation: "How we respond to these events is not by hiding in a bunker". lardass is building a bunker!!!

"Blanche said the suspect is not cooperating with authorities, and officials have obtained most of the information about him “from other means.”" Too neat of a package to get a political 'lone wolf' shooter that doesn't want to use any avenue to project a message.

"During a press conference Tuesday,Todd Blanche and Kash Patel announced that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) had been criminally indicted. “There is nothing political about this indictment,” Blanche insisted. Anyone paying attention knows that is a lie." open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

You’d think that acting AG Blanche would be prioritizing justice after an apparent mass shooting attempt on top officials in the US government, but he seems more focused on getting Trump’s ballroom built, that's the priority, that's the new grift.

Aaron Parnas says Blanche demands end to lawsuit stopping ballroom construction. Of course this was the plan all along! #USDemocracy #Pinks

The press always frames the problem - any problem - as being the Democrats' rhetoric. Whatever that is. #Raskin

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Funny how the media pearl‑clutches over Rep. Raskin calling Trump ‘terrible’ while Trump openly fantasizes about violence. Holding fascists to account isn’t “heated rhetoric"—it’s survival. Aim your moral outrage at the demagogues, not the truth‑tellers. #Raskin

This is cringe-worthy stuff from Dana Bash. She oughta be embarrassed...Rep. Raskin straight up asked her for receipts and she had nothing.

Dana Bash is a propagandist. Good for Raskin for calming asking her to back up her made up claims.
