@SteveLovesAmmo Globally, or in the U.S.? The day Gingrich took over the House in 1996. He broke the institution and destroyed 200+ years of Congressional reps living in D.C., wives knew each other, children in the same schools. He broke it all. Then McConnell broke the Senate.

Can someone point me to exactly at what point in history everything started going to absolute shit?

@JeffAdams82 @briantylercohen @jamestalarico Leave it to WM to show their true, infantile colors so quickly. Why on earth do you think your attacks on women’s faces will score ANY points, with anyone?? It’s always the face. Like third grade taunts. Always.

@briantylercohen @jamestalarico Man, your girlfriend must be one Helluva dog to think this mutt is "hot"

Congrats to the GOP for forcing the entire country talk about @JamesTalarico’s girlfriend, who it turns out is super hot 👍

@AdamKinzinger She conveniently overlooks the Citadel’s history of eagerly pushing out Confederate officers to die in the War to Maintain Slavery.

Just need to remind people obviously. She did not serve in the military. A military academy is not military service.

@KatieBl0omer @AdamKinzinger @RepNancyMace Adam’s service, including combat: 22 years Nancy’s service, without combat: 0 years

@AdamKinzinger @RepNancyMace That doesn’t matter. She went thru and graduated the citadel you dumbass. You wouldn’t last a day.

Before Congress, there was The Citadel. I was the first woman to graduate from the Corps of Cadets. Nothing was handed to me there. In fact, I didn't even tell my father I had applied and was accepted until after the fact. This is the place where we salute the American flag, not burn it to the ground. This is where you go to learn grit, discipline, and to be strong. This is where I learned what I was made of. And those lessons have never left me. The Citadel prepared me for a lifetime of service. I carry it with me every single day. Serving South Carolina has been and always will be the honor of my lifetime.

@DeanAbbott Adopt!!!! PLEASE don’t buy a “pure breed.”

Thinking I'm going to get a cat at the first opportunity. You guys have any cat advice?

@giveashitnature In North America, a single opossum eats over 5,000 ticks per Summer and doesn’t contract Lyme itself.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box. The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year. A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease. Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk." One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks. If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different boxes) is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you. The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution.

@HunterBiden @TheOmniLiberal Congratulations!!! I just turned eight in my recovery, and you’re right. It gets quieter. For my first year I cooked for any group I could find, every freaking day. The planning and organizing and cooking and serving and CLEANING kept my mind busy 24/7. We got this.

Almost seven years clean and sober. Not a victory lap. Just a fact. To anyone in the fight right now: it gets quieter. Not easier. Quieter. In the quiet, you find out who you actually are. That’s the part they can’t take from you.

@Provcefl @KaterynaLis Thank you!!! I’ve only been to Ukraine once in the early 1990s, but I found the people so kind, so warm, and incredibly sharp. I warned friends when this started that you must never underestimate Ukrainian ingenuity and their ability to design from scratch. They will win.

@AniB64 @KaterynaLis Happy birthday !

‼️ZELENSKYY: Putin, of course, saved money for the war, but definitely not enough to fight endlessly. Putin is leading Russia toward bankruptcy. Russians are coming up with various schemes to make money, but we see these schemes, we record them, and we will break them. “And if we look at Russia’s total state revenues, due to our sustained pressure across all levels, the budget deficit over the past five months has already grown significantly larger than what they had planned for this year. Putin, of course, saved money for the war, but definitely not enough to fight endlessly. Every retaliatory strike we take, every step we take together with our partners, every step of pressure, all this pushes Russia to end its war. Now they already have a significant number of regions in a state of bankruptcy, and Putin is leading all Russia to bankruptcy. And the various schemes they come up with to make money will not help them. We see these Russian schemes, we record them, we will break them” - Ukrainian President on Monday, May 18, 2026.

@SpenceWilson4 @Gerashchenko_en 1.4 roentgen, not great not terrible.

The Security Service of Ukraine has detected ❗️elevated radiation levels on the wreckage of a Russian "Geran-2" (Shahed) strike drone used in the attack on Chernihiv region on the night of 7 April 2026. Fragments of an R-60 air-to-air missile were found near the settlement of Kamka. Radiation reconnaissance measured gamma radiation of 12 microsieverts per hour near the debris - significantly above the natural background. The warhead contained depleted uranium (U-235 and U-238). The explosive part was neutralized by the Security Service of Ukraine, State Emergency Service and Defence Forces and transported to a radioactive waste storage facility.

@JoshYoung JULY???

This is my quant 😂

@JoshYoung As an analyst I have no idea how the declining inventories aren’t triggering higher prices. This feels like the biggest swindle in many, many decades.

Oil bulls watching oil prices fall while inventories decline 10 million barrels every day

@AngelinaReagan7 You’re kidding, right?

Was anyone alive for the 200 Anniversary? 1976??? 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Raymond26773481 @SamaHoole Domestic cattle don’t behave like wild bison on the land. There’s no going back.

The United States should ramp up cattle production via regenerative grazing to restore topsoil, boost domestic beef supply, lower prices, and cut import reliance. With our herd at a 75-year low, this would strengthen food security and rural economies while rebuilding the fertile prairies bison once created. foxnews.com Recent UN climate committee revisions—quietly discarding extreme warming scenarios long used to justify anti-livestock policies—confirm many alarmist projections were overstated. Well-managed cattle, with natural manure fertilization and soil-building grazing, sequester carbon and enhance resilience far better than restrictive green mandates. Time to expand responsibly on grasslands, not shrink herds over exaggerated fears.

In 1870, if you took a spade to the ground in Iowa, or Nebraska, or eastern Kansas, you could push it in to the haft and not hit anything that wasn't soil. Six feet of topsoil. Black, friable, alive. The richest agricultural earth on the planet, by a margin so absurd that European visitors with farming backgrounds went silent when they saw it turned over. Most arable land on Earth carries between one and eight inches of topsoil. The Great Plains carried seventy-two. Nobody had ploughed it. Nobody had fertilised it. Nobody had irrigated it. It had been built, slowly and completely, by something else. Stand back from the spade. Stand back from the field. Stand back far enough to see the continent. A herd of bison, fifty miles wide, takes five days to pass the hillside you are standing on. Colonel Dodge recorded this in Arkansas in 1871, and he was not the only one. From the top of Pawnee Rock the herd ran to the horizon in every direction at once. The earth, observers wrote, trembled at three miles. Sixty million animals. The largest gathering of large mammals the planet has ever held. They had been doing this for ten thousand years. The grass grew tall because the bison grazed it hard and moved on. Their hooves broke the crust for seed. Their wallows held the rain. Their dung fed the microbes. Their carcasses fed them harder. The deep-rooted prairie grasses, big bluestem, switchgrass, Indian grass, drove their roots fifteen feet down, locking carbon into the soil at a depth no plough would ever reach. The bison built the six feet of black earth. The bison were why it existed. Then the hide market arrived. Five thousand bison a day, shot from train windows, left to rot. The U.S. government encouraged it openly, because starving the Plains nations was cheaper than fighting them. By 1889, of the sixty million, five hundred and forty-one remained. The plough followed within a decade. The grass was turned under. The hooves and the wallows and the dung had stopped. The soil, untethered from the system that built it, dried. In April 1935 it rose into the sky as a black wall a thousand miles wide and travelled to the Atlantic. Six feet of soil, built over ten millennia, blown into the sea in a generation. There is no putting the bison back at that scale. The cow is the closest analogue the continent has. Run her like a bison, on grass, on the move, in a tight mob. Watch what the land does.

@briansbrown Oh no, no no no. The Americas were colonized by religious radicals dating back 200 years before the French Revolution. Our crazy is home-grown.

You've got to see the trailer and then the full movie of the origin story of radicalism. It started in a bloodbath of Christians in the Vendee region of France. victoryordeathmovie.com

@Kasparov63 @pictureladyjan First having to deal with Trump, then the full invasion. He’s risen to the moment but what a shitty time to take over the Presidency of Ukraine.

The leader of the free world. Sometimes the man makes history. Sometimes history makes the man. 🇺🇦

@pickeringenergy It feels as though no one can imagine a suffocating, global depression because no such event has happened in our lifetimes. We’ve had so many “the sky is falling!” claims over the years that markets just cannot respond anymore. Americans are particularly bad with climate change

The irony of oil down $5/bbl on the day of the largest ever US inventory draw is THICK. Of course the market is forward looking and the 14th announcement of "we're close on a deal with Iranians" has the upper hand #EFT #OOTT

@JuliOnTwtr It’s mind blowing to me that futures’ markets still aren’t pricing in mud coming out of our taps in a matter of weeks.

If you could have ONE of the previous cars you've owned back in your possession, in NEW condition, which would you choose?

@JulenBollain How can he possibly say this isn’t our war?! WE STARTED IT, Jesus.

Hegseth: “Europa necesita el estrecho de Ormuz más que nosotros. Que se suban a un barco. Esta es su guerra, no la nuestra”. EEUU empieza una guerra contra Irán. Irán cierra el estrecho de Ormuz. ¿Y de quién es el problema? De Europa. EEUU incendia, los demás pagan la factura.
