OK, I just got THIS in my inbox and my jaw dropped! NOT that I'm surprised, but WOW, Beth! BIG congrats! This is SOOOoooo cool :D <3 @beth_ferry43395 #childrensbooks #books #kidlitchat #kidlitart

@cnn @abbydphillip OK, so REALLY can't stand the new set and what's with the mics and echo? PLEASE go back to what you had!

Extraordinary moment: Speaker Johnson warned him to take his seat & maintain decorum, and after Rep. Al Green refused, Johnson ordered the Sergeant at Arms to remove him from the chamber. Rep. Al Green was then walked out.

@PaulRieckhoff THANK you for stating the facts! It was staged and an ambush. My heart was aching for Pres. Zelinsky today!

@Oceana1225 @JoeBiden Hear! Hear! <3

@JoeBiden Thank you for your excellent service to this country. Over 50 years of public service and DJT turned you into a caricature of evil for MAGA. When we get our country back from these con artists and grifters, we would look back historically on your great presidency.

Jill and I are relieved, alongside millions of others around the world, that Sagui Dekel-Chen is finally reunited with his family after 498 painful days. I am proud that the deal we negotiated has held, paving the way for the release of hostages. My thoughts and prayers are with the remaining hostages and their families who have all been through hell. We hope all will be reunited in the weeks ahead.

@JoeBiden, Sir, I can only imagine what you must be thinking and feeling, not just post election, but especially post inauguration :(

@AmbassadorRice, THANK YOU for telling it like it is! It was SO staged, obvious from the moment Vance started his absurd rant&Trump followed. As soon as it was over Trump said it was good TV & Vance was grinning like the Joker at the press, so happy w/what HE saw as success! @CNN

...to kiss up to & "defend" his BOSS in front of media,& of course,once accomplished,Trump went full throttle. Zelensky TRIED to clarify & defend himself, but they wouldn't allow it. Completely unjustified, they berated him w/lies & did this ALL for SHOW! They're KILLing the USA!

@ananavarro, I canNOT believe the discourse I'm hearing on @CNN about this White House PERFORMANCE. Zelensky was simply RESPONDing to what Vance said about trusting Putin and Vance LASHED out...this was so OBviously premeditated by Vance & probably Trump...1/1

@kaitlancollins All of you should be naming it for what it was...Vance, then Trump, did this all for literally putting on a SHOW...the bullying from the White House was on FULL display toward a remarkable man who didn't deserve THEIR disrespect! @ZelenskyyUa This is NOT reality TV! @cnnbrk

President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and President Zelensky are getting in an extremely heated back and forth in the Oval Office. Zelensky asks Vance to come to Ukraine and Vance accuses him of doing propaganda tours. Trump tells him, “You don’t have the cards right now…You’re gambling with WWIII.”

@JustinTrudeau 💔💔💔I have a feeling this was not human error, but a freak gust of wind that caused this horrible tragedy

We’re all extremely concerned about the accident at Reagan National Airport. As we wait for more details, my thoughts are with those on board, their loved ones, and the first responders right now.

@Kinnzayyy all of it is so heartbreaking 😭💔 I think it was a freak gust of wind

@MattForrestVW I tell ya, rejections always feel deflating, but on the other hand--speedy is much less painful than endless false hope! 😣😩🙄🤔😵‍💫😞🤗

Not to brag, but I just received my first rejection of the year less than 48 hours after submitting. That's a new personal best. 🙄😄 #KidLit #amwriting #amsubbing #childrensbooks

@MattForrestVW Reminds me of an extraordinarily embarrassing moment I had as a teenager in a quiet room of about 30 peers, holding hands in prayer! Yep!

I don't normally share threads like this (OK, so I NEVER share threads like this) but THIS one is worth it. Check it out. You can thank me later.

@MattForrestVW OK, BIG wow about this! That is SO impressive! :D
