Reminder that Leo XIV was chosen explicitly as a compromise between Vatican conservatives and Francis defenders

@atrupar The immigration policy is set by Donald Trump?

@Fidelity fix your app what the hell

@roddreher Good

Looking like an anti- Orban landslide.

@mcmansionhell This is the great tragedy of our time

millennials are truly the last generation able to understand the jokes in fraiser and even then it's pushing it

@langleeschool In bocca al lupo

지난주 ‘늑대가 나타났다’ 검열재판에서 최초마지막 발언 기회가 있었는데 ‘존경하는 재판장님’으로 시작하는 게 꺼려져서 뭘로 시작할까 하다가 ’안녕하세요’로 했다. 유교 그런 걸로써. 아무튼 다음달에 선고라고

@umichvoter No

is it gonna be Keisha Lance Bottoms @ folks in Georgia

@aprilsour It's so good

@TheArgumentMag People don't live in crappy areas or send their kids to crappy schools because they are filled with crappy people they reasonably don't want to be around. Great example of how supposedly smart libs don't understand human behavior or incentives at all.

@WarClandestine The propaganda machine is out indeed lol

The propaganda machine is out in full force, trying to rewrite history. Here’s what actually happened: Trump killed Iran’s leadership, deleted their Air Force and Navy, then gave them a deadline to capitulate, otherwise he would blast them to the Stone Age… And they folded. Under no circumstances did Trump lose in any capacity. Trump just wiped out Iran’s military capabilities, without putting boots on the ground, made them cry uncle, and forced them to stop sabotaging global oil markets, while they finish negotiating their surrender. Trump just pulled off one of the greatest negotiation moves of all time, and the result should be a unanimously celebrated, regardless of what side of the aisle you are on. However, the Left/MSM will take part in any level of metal gymnastics to avoid admitting this. They will lie, make excuses, and repeat talking points until they are blue in the face, but no matter how much they try to spin it, this is objectively a massive victory for Trump, and the world, and they know it.

@BrendanCarrFCC It seems like it's not actually false, though?

More outrageous conduct from CNN. Fake news is bad enough for the country, but pushing out a hoax headline in such a sensitive national security moment as this requires accountability. Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN's false headline attributes to them. Time for change at CNN.

@DamonLinker My point is that in the context of them constantly saying everything is on the table, it's not unreasonable to think that nuclear is very much on the table Especially since they'll make a joke: "you finally got a nuke"

@Gnarbone The list of things he did not say is pretty much infinite.

Oh, and there's no evidence from the Trump Social post that Trump is talking about using nuclear weapons against Iran. He just means bombing them back into the Stone Age using conventional weapons. Best not to leap to something even more terrible than what Trump actually said.

@ajlamesa @MARTAservice Totally, but just anecdotally (me riding once and walking by the station all the time) I don't see traffic up

@Gnarbone @MARTAservice It's a good question (they should be curious about it), though the agency can't afford to eliminate fares.

What @MARTAservice is doing right now is absolutely outrageous. They are facing financial armageddon from remote work and safety concerns, but apparently couldn't be bothered to spend a few weeks planning a Better Breeze transition that would allow for fare enforcement.

@ajlamesa @MARTAservice I wonder if ridership is up because of the free fares

I get it in the context of their chaotic rollout of Better Breeze. The old apps aren't working and the new ones are glitchy. The old machines are dead and the new ones not installed. Blah, blah, blah. But those issues should have been anticipated and a rational rollout allowing for fare collection executed.

@roddreher You have to remember that you voted for this

Oratorically speaking, it's just like Churchill, what?

Some wars are bigger than others. Some wars' mothers are bigger than other wars' mothers

@souljagoyteller Yeah, it's so simple. If you can arrest the undocumented woman, then she is in fact subject to the jurisdiction of the US.

That is quite literally what it says
