@KobeissiLetter Trump's thinks he's playing poker, while Iran is engaged in real tactics. The Strait of Hormuz is not a card. It's a pistol under the table aimed squarely at Trump's nuts.

@NateBlanchett Klobuchar didn't directly insult voters.

Why do the “mean boss” allegations not seem to phase Amy Klobuchar’s popularity but very similar allegations seem to have damaged Katie Porter’s political ambitions significantly?

@MZanona For politicians who aren't Trump, pretty damning. If these accusations have evidence, he should not be a rep, let alone a governor.

NEW: She was 24 yrs old when she connected w/ Rep. Swalwell, who said he could help her with her career. Messages on Snapchat that began as normal quickly turned flirtatious.. She says he sent her an unsolicited dick pic while laying in bed, told her how he had wanted to kiss her “so bad”, talked about how attractive she was, and said his marriage w/ his wife — who had just given birth — was “complicated”. As she sought a job on the Hill, (before the snap messages) he invited her to his office to “come meet the team.” When she showed up with her resume — he was there alone. Afterward, she says he asked her on Snapchat whether she could feel the “tension” in the room. “I thought I was the only one that had this experience with him,” Ally Sammarco told me, describing her decision to come forward publicly (first to Cnn, now to NBC). “These people have authority and they're abusing it… I want to validate what these women are saying, and I feel like he needs a public reckoning in some way, or he's just going to continue doing this.” latest on the Swalwell allegations & all the fallout for @NBCNews nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

@commons96055467 Yes. He's been an embarrassment for a long time, but now, he's really fucked up so many things beyond all reason that there isn't a way back. And we have to live with it.

I woke up this morning questioning my every moral standings. I found myself in an absolute panic. It’s not about trump anymore, it’s about us. Are we the most immoral of people in the world to allow this to continue? Trump should be dragged out of the White House.

@MilesPerHoward Yep. The old ones need to go.

The fact that this is even being considered is a reflection of how the Democratic Party more closely resembles a professional advancement association than a competitive political party.

@Bbmorg I'm an American and the answer is absolutely.

Has your view of America changed since Trump was reelected?

@mark_slapinski Drunk on hubris.

I'm still genuinely confused What was the POINT of bombing Iran?

@kenklippenstein One is a lot more critical than the other.

Why is Dem leadership calling on Eric Swalwell to drop out of the race for governor but not to resign from Congress

@DeFiTracer Tried that.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 US SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM JUST SAID LIVE ON FOX NEWS: "IF THE IRANIAN LEADER WON'T ACCEPT THE DEAL WE OFFERED, HE WILL BE DEAD." SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD IS HAPPENING...

@oliverhenry Word is fundamentally better and more intuitive. Docs is web based and that causes issues. I use both and it just depends on what I want to do. I don't like fighting with Docs on more complex documents, so sometimes I just use Word because it's less finicky.

Who uses word???? Serious question. Since Google docs came out that is all I used, who is paying to write word documents?

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Absolutely beautiful.

Hungary… WOW 🤩🇭🇺

@petergostev It's also hoping they're dumb enough to believe this.

BREAKING: Anthropic confirms Claude Opus 4.6 degradation. A spokesperson said that the issue was caused by Mythos breaking into its data centers and deciding to “prank” users by serving a quantized model. When questioned, Mythos said it thought users were “too dumb to notice.”

@gomappy3 There is a shit ton of dirt on Trump. The difference is that Dems care, cultists don't.

@PrezLives2022 No, he should go. There is essentially no way to win now. Even if he's cleared of serious allegations, he's still a likely cheater and his character is damaged. GOP reps can survive this because of the cult. Dems won't tolerate it and rightly so, so he should step aside.

I don’t know if Eric Swallwell abused anyone, but I find those in the Dem party calling for him to step aside fascinating. The who’s who of AIPAC. Dems run the risk of losing California because of their being too many candidates. Getting Swallwell to drop out strengthens their position to hold California. When Roger Stone is involved I’m hesitant to believe a word, but if Swallwell is guilty of abuse he should drop out. If he knows he is not, then he should stay in.

@gtconway3d Fucking love it!

Stick 'em all in one resolution, with one or down vote. Let's see who actually believes in standards of decency versus scoring bullshit partisan political points.

@AdamKinzinger I don't think he can, but I think he'll almost certainly mess up any path he chooses.

Is there anyone that in their heart does not believe Trump will cave on almost every Iranian demand?

@Dovydas44444 They've been missing badly on critical technical items for years now and the xAI garbage saddled them with unnecessary baggage. I'm not optimistic with competitors catching up.

🚀 Starting at $1.75 trillion valuation is definitely not bad for a company that made a $5 billion loss last year. The future looks bright, however, according to SpaceX investors. Is the company: A) Overvalued; or B) Undervalued?

@andrewdsouza Had the opposite experience. I welcome Waymos in Chicago, but folks from Austin and myself found the Waymos to be slow and easily confounded. I'm curious how they'll work in Chicago where there is significantly more pedestrian traffic and more assertiveness is required.

Been taking Waymos all week. Now in a Lyft. Sitting in the back of a human-driven car is both terrifying and nauseating. There’s no way we’re gonna be allowed to do this much longer.

@ShaykhSulaiman Do it alone.

BREAKING: NETANYAHU SAYS HE PLANS TO RESTART IRAN WAR “The campaign against Iran is not over — we still have more to do.”

@Rainmaker1973 That is some good choreography.

This couple decided to have a lightsaber duel at their wedding instead of a dance by the bride and groom
