@OleKenyan @BarakRavid Bye...

@BarakRavid 🚨🚨Oh no, another Trump W and the haters are melting. Someone get them a safe space and a tissue 🤣😅

🚨🚨🚨Trump on Truth Social: Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military. A special salute to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and Commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Because of them, and all members of the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World, BY FAR, the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran — and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION. We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo. Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone is aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States, of any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that Number even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment pour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create additional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs! America is WINNING again, winning like never before. The days of Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most importantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter

@HeerJeet Not going to pull up the exact date, but Trump and Graham took a long walk during 18 holes of golf, out on the course where no one could hear you speak Immediately *after* that golf was when Graham shifted his attitude 180 degrees As often is the case, you gloss over reality

We need to categorically reject the calumny that Graham was blackmailed so he cozied up to Trump. The evidence is clear that Graham freely and volitionally chose evil. thenation.com/article/politi…

@ArmsControlWonk When did Elaine Chow return from China? No authoritative source seems to even mention it, let alone know

If anyone has the original McConnell photo, I'd be delighted to run it through our photo forensics software (Tungstene) -- although I have no real doubts about it.

@vixambrosia @sophieraiin When do those pop? Do you have to take any special precautions when you move around, or nah?

@sophieraiin Humm.. same question from me too! 🤭💖

smash or pass

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.

@discord Or maybe grow up, and don't try to pretend you're still in high school Ya think? Maybe?

saying gn and going to sleep but then checking phone again to make sure they said gn back

@JenniferJJacobs "senior U.S. officials told @CBSNews" "senior U.S. officials" "@CBSNews" ahahahahahahaha!! You clowns will believe and publish anything, won't you?

NEWS: Iranian officials privately told Trump advisers that they made a mistake in shooting at commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, that the attacks stemmed from an "errant" sect of hardliners who are trying to undermine negotiations, and that they want to keep talking, senior U.S. officials told @CBSNews. White House wants the regime to publicly acknowledge its mistake, which the Trump administration views as a violation of the ceasefire. Trump has directed his team — led by JD Vance, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Marco Rubio — to continue negotiations. The talks are to take place in Oman. The U.S. will respond, using military and economic leverage, if Iran continues to engage in hostile acts, the officials said. cbsnews.com/news/iran-priv…

@mikehtrujillo "Democratic Strategist | Over 100 campaigns incl Villaraigosa, Rob Reiner and Hillary Clinton." Well, there's your entire problem right there "Democratic Strategist"

🚨EXCLUSIVE MAINE POLL🚨 NEW POLL IN THE STATE OF MAINE It’s a synthetic poll, paid for by no candidate or political org. But two of the three female candidates do best, although we now know the individual who tested best has taken herself out of consideration. Enjoy!

@HeerJeet "Messiah Politics"? How about the politics of the narcissistic, pathological liar? Or has that been done before?

@zachbussey "Tier 2 and Tier 3 Subscribers to a channel invited to the test will be able to send GIFs. There is a 30-second cooldown period per user." Further proof (as if any were needed) that Chat isn't paying any attention to the Streamer, but just how cool and high school Chat is

Twitch is starting limited testing of GIFs in chat. Tier 2 and Tier 3 Subscribers to a channel invited to the test will be able to send GIFs. There is a 30-second cooldown period per user. Moderation is the same as any chat message - mods/streamer can delete posted GIFs.

@daveweigel "Platner's position *as of today* is that every misconduct accusation against him is a lie; not much a vetter can do with that" Interesting to see all the Platner defenders in the replies dance around the fact that he's a known narcissist and a pathological liar Sounds familiar

Platner's position *as of today* is that every misconduct accusation against him is a lie; not much a vetter can do with that

@DashiBuchanan @HeerJeet "Doesn’t excuse a damn thing but it does explain a lot of it." Funny You're putting a lot of work into exactly excusing "a lot of it" Or more like all of it

@HeerJeet He may be a rapey oaf, but he worked his ass off on the ground. He went everywhere and talked to everyone about a lot of Mainers’ real issues. When Collins speaks to Maine voters it’s mostly by accident. Doesn’t excuse a damn thing but it does explain a lot of it.

This is exactly on point

@HeerJeet "How did a deeply flawed but gifted candidate build such a devoted following?" Since Axelrod is too much of a coward to accept replies, I'll reply up here Platner is an acute narcissist *and* a pathological liar We've seen that before For some it's too addictive to ignore

@UNGeneva @UNSRVAW "... and safety in sport" So No more male middle school PE coaches doing mandatory locker room underwear checks on early-teen children then? No?

.@UNSRVAW: US Supreme Court’s decision affirming that #TitleIX permits schools to maintain female sports categories on the basis of biological sex represents an important recognition of the rights of women & girls to equality, fairness & safety in sport. ohchr.org/en/latest

@grahamformaine Nazi misogynist rapist Maybe #Trump and the #Republicans can use you, ya think?

My name might be on the ballot right now, but that ballot line belongs to the people of Maine.

@CarlaBNatSec Thousands of US Marines "take" Kharg Island WaPo showed us how it's done weeks ago All ya need is a little AI, people!

#BREAKING SCOOP: 2 US Warships with thousands of Marines and sailors exit Mideast as Trump Says Truce 'Over,’ threatens to take Kharg Island— USS Tripoli and USS Rushmore have exited the U.S. Central Command area of operations and are now operating in the Indian Ocean after months of supporting the war against Iran, two defense officials tell Newsmax. The third ship with the USS Tripoli amphibious ready group, USS New Orleans, is still in the Arabian Sea in the U.S. Central Command but is expected to move into the U.S. Pacific Command soon. newsmax.com/world/globalta…

@allymutnick Once again, the Democratic Party (at any level) manages to shoot itself in both feet, at the same time, and over and over and over again Chucky Schooomer and his House Boy OREO Hackem' Forever must be helping

NEWS: the Maine Democratic State Committee overwhelming voted in favor of a 600+ person nominating convention to replace Graham Platner in #MESEN DSC had a long emergency meeting Wednesday then took a vote

@NiohBerg “Useless activism” trying to save the planet you live on???? Advocating for the freedom of a group of people who are being slaughtered???? What’s useless about that?

@NiohBerg "Privilege" is stuffing your face while you shill for genocidal Israel that is intentionally starving children.

@OfTheBraveUSA Sen. Coons: "It would be very hard for the United States to take control of Kharg Island without putting at risk losing hundreds of troops … " But WaPo has already shown us how Kharg Island would be taken

Sen. Coons: "It would be very hard for the United States to take control of Kharg Island without putting at risk losing hundreds of troops…We would have to engage in a very heavy campaign and put a lot of lives at risk in order to seize Kharg Island."
