@robinstrasser @dank Hahaha. Nothing “dank” about Mr. Koh. He is the real deal. Check out his podcast “The People’s Cabinet” on YouTube. As far as Doc Lock, that was my nickname at a previous employer, a mortgage company, where I oversaw a department that locked in mortgage interest rates.

@BrentCorrigan Thank you for using your platform to create awareness regarding brain injury, @BrentCorrigan . So glad you have the support you need to navigate it.

It’s Brain Injury Awareness month, so I thought I should open up about my experience. Mine is an Anoxic Brain Injury, which is one of the more severe types, and every day, my family and friends step up to help me navigate the challenges. I am so grateful for them.

@RpsAgainstTrump According to trackers like DidTrumpGolfToday, Trump has visited golf courses 99 days out of 427 since Jan 20, 2025 (23%). Estimated taxpayer cost for security/travel: $138.6M.

Congressman Gomez just put Tulsi Gabbard in a corner she couldn’t escape. The exchange: “Last year you testified Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. Do you stand by that?” Gabbard dodged. Gomez reclaimed his time. “Trump said you were wrong. Were you lying or not?” “I stand by the intelligence community’s complete assessment.” “Were they weeks away from a nuclear weapon — yes or no?” Gabbard dodged again. Gomez: “Why do you even have a job? Why do you even advise them?” Then the kill shot: “You’re saying the President can declare any country an imminent threat — China tomorrow if he wants — and act regardless of what the intelligence says?” Ratcliffe: “The president is commander in chief.” Gomez: “So what’s the point of intelligence?” 18 agencies confirmed Iran had no nuclear capacity. Israel said ten bombs in two weeks. Trump chose Israel. Gabbard couldn’t say Iran was weeks away. Ratcliffe confirmed the president can ignore intelligence entirely. Joe Kent resigned over it. They just said the quiet part out loud under oath. The president can start any war he wants. Intelligence is optional. Never stop connecting the dots.

Republicans say one of these individuals is the "most divisive president in history"

@paula_30throad Stupidest scenes EVER. Presumably GH’s way to keep Olivia relevant.

#GH Seriously, is this anyone’s business but Michael’s?!

@paula_30throad #facts

#GH Who wrote Olivia’s dialogue today? She is speaking as if she is talking to a ten year old? This whole scene feels like it was a filler. An unnecessary scene 🤷🏻‍♀️

@tonyenos Thank you for being a bright light in a world that can oftentimes be dark and overwhelming. ❤️

The world has gone to shit so I’m just doing what the Hell I want, and what I want to do is tell you how very loved you are, and what an irreplaceable part of this magnificent and ever expanding miraculous Universe YOU! ARE! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

Renee Good, Alex Pretti and Keith Porter could not be reached for comment.

@Timodc @DylanByers @PeterHamby @JohnBerman Most definitely. Right next to @ForecasterEnten Their chemistry is palpable.

@DylanByers @PeterHamby looking forward to @JohnBerman from the bathroom stall

CNN has been experimenting with new formats this week, including Anderson in rolled-up sleeves, massive desk microphones, and a physical map, channeling early Edward R. Murrow-era broadcast.... Experiment will continue today with Jake Tapper broadcasting from his office.

A great cause here - and one that hits home for me personally - if you're in a position to help or participate. #Pancan #PurpleStride secure.pancan.org/site/TR?fr_id=…

This is the document I unredacted on the House floor. It confirms numerous lies by Trump, including that Trump never expelled Epstein from Mar-A-Lago - despite his repeated claims that he did. It is also proof of the DOJ’s massive cover-up because there was no basis to redact it other than to protect the President. DOJ still hasn’t disclosed 3 million pages of the Epstein Files. If they are trying to hide this, what else are they hiding? We need answers @AGPamBondi, @DAGToddBlanche

Today, I exposed an unredacted email that clearly shows Trump has been lying about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. There's no reason this should have been redacted, which is exactly why I showed it. Pam Bondi and Donald Trump: The gig is up. Release all the files. Now.

This is unhinged. The President of the United States went on a late-night rant, making clear he believes the Supreme Court justices he appointed owe him their loyalty and should always rule in his favor. The President of the United States is openly attacking the independence of the judiciary, the very institution that stands between every American and unchecked executive power. Courts don’t work for the President. They work for the Constitution. And a president attacking the judiciary for doing its job is telling you he believes he is above the law.

Anne Applebaum nails it:

President Trump claimed that “nobody,” not a single expert, expected Iran to retaliate against US allies in the region. In reality, many experts had warned Iran would do this – and Iran had repeatedly said it would. Trump claimed, as he has for more than a decade, that his 2000 book warned that Osama bin Laden was going to attack the World Trade Center and that the authorities needed to take care of him. In reality, the book contained no warnings or advice about bin Laden at all. Trump claimed that media outlets coordinated with Iran to spread fake videos of a US aircraft carrier on fire and should be charged with "TREASON." But the White House couldn’t provide a single example of a US outlet that spread the fake videos of the carrier; in reality, multiple US outlets debunked them. Trump claimed a former president had privately told him he wished he’d attacked Iran like Trump did. Aides to all four living former presidents say they haven’t spoken to Trump since the war began. Fact check on some of his Sunday and Monday statements: cnn.com/2026/03/17/pol…

Update: The White House got back to me with three examples of media outlets that quoted Iran’s claim that it struck the USS Lincoln…but none of the outlets is American. One is Israeli, one Saudi, one Turkish. (And none of the stories included AI videos.) The president had strongly suggested he was talking about US media when he said outlets that spread the Lincoln story should be charged with “TREASON.”

Tucker Carlson asked Mike Huckabee — Trump’s Ambassador to Israel — why millions of Epstein files are still classified. Huckabee: “I don’t know. I haven’t kept up with that.” Tucker: “You haven’t kept up with the Epstein files? The current president of Israel went to his island according to the files.” The US Ambassador to Israel hasn’t kept up with files that allegedly implicate the current president of Israel. The same Israel that Chris Murphy said forced America into this war. The same Israel Netanyahu said this war is turning into a global superpower. The same Israel Lindsey Graham said he’s with until his dying day. The same Israel whose president allegedly visited Epstein’s island. Half of 6 million documents remain sealed. The Deputy AG admitted withholding footage of death and abuse. Thomas Massie is threatening to read the names on the House floor. Trump started a war the same week the names were supposed to drop. And the Ambassador to Israel hasn’t kept up with it. The war is the distraction. The files are the reason. Never stop connecting the dots.

Trump just made an extraordinary admission: The United States gets less than 1% of its oil from the Strait of Hormuz. Japan gets 95%. China gets 90%. South Korea gets 35%. So Trump is asking the countries whose entire energy supply depends on the Strait — to come fight for it. While America, which gets almost none of its oil through it, started the war that closed it. Japan just officially said no. China called it Iran’s sovereign right. South Korea has given no commitment. America closed a waterway it barely uses. Then asked the countries that need it most to come reopen it. Then threatened NATO when they declined. Iran’s Foreign Minister already answered this logic: “There are people being killed only because Trump wants to have fun.” $21 billion spent. 14 Americans dead. Oil at $102. Zero allied warships coming. Less than 1%. Never stop connecting the dots.

This is disgraceful. It's wrong to treat war as a video game. It's worse to use the image of the dignified transfer of an American soldier's casket as a scene in a political fundraising appeal with the promise "private national security briefings" to donors.

I worked for USAID when It was closed, these guys literally were firing senior Foreign Service Officers with 30 years of experience on the spot. These kids were drunk on power and a reckoning is coming. I will always be hot about this shit. I know for a fact we allowed children to die because of these snotty shits.
