@timburchett Because he loves this country and wants Americans to be safe and respected abroad, reminding world leaders that Americans are good people, even if DT doesn’t reflect the best of us.

I’d suspect a rather large speaking fee.

A tough reminder that there are a group of unique Americans who operate in the shadows with no fanfare, who selflessly answer the bell time and again, and go places under significant risk ultimately to help protect their fellow citizens. RIP to former colleagues.

@nicksortor @GetOnTap Wait, what? I thought Trump fixed that, at least he says he did

@GetOnTap DC in general is a fcking warzone

BREAKING: Heavily armed US Capitol Police officers are RACING to a reported shooting in the vicinity of a high-ranking US government official in Washington, DC’s Navy Yard The black SUV seen in the video is an armored Chevrolet Suburban used by leaders of Congress and members of the President’s cabinet. It is UNCLEAR if this was a targeted attack, but the alleged shooter is NOT in custody, and police are searching the area. I personally witnessed that official be EXTRACTED via undercover Capitol Police officers, protected by uniformed officers carrying long rifles I will not name the official without their express permission, as I don’t want to dox their home. Other officers can be seen sweeping the area for evidence like shell casings. Will update when I have more details.

@slickChihuahua @MarioNawfal Craig was rude

@MarioNawfal Why is Pyotr such a disrespectful and obnoxious guy, and why is Mario so infatuated with someone this abrasive?

@Kurdistan_AR I hope you are given the autonomy you deserve.🫡 @PahlaviReza

A Message to the American People The Kurdish people have always been honest with the United States, and we still see America as a friend and partner. Our relationship with the American people and American soldiers has been built on trust, respect, and shared values. In Kurdish areas, American soldiers lived among us safely and were welcomed as friends. Not a single American soldier was harmed in Kurdish regions, unlike in many other parts of the Middle East. This reflects the true character of the Kurdish people and our respect for our allies. Kurdish forces fought ISIS not only to defend our homeland, but also to protect the world from terrorism. We stood on the front lines against extremism because we believe in freedom, stability, and peaceful coexistence. However, we cannot ignore the painful moments of the past. During the last nine years, decisions made during the presidency of Donald Trump left the Kurds in difficult situations three times: in 2017 in Kirkuk, in 2019 in Rojava, and again in 2026 in Rojava. In those moments, Kurdish forces were left to face powerful enemies alone. Despite this, the Kurdish people do not blame the American people. On the contrary, we still see the United States as an important partner and a friend of the Kurdish people. At the same time, we have learned from the past. The Kurds in Iran will not repeat the mistakes that happened in Iraq and Syria. Partnership must be built on clear understanding and real guarantees. Our message to the American and Western people is simple: the Kurds are your friends. We believe in the same values of freedom, dignity, and the fight against extremism. Together, we can stand against terrorism and build a more stable and peaceful future.

@usahockey @TeamUSA It was fun trying to explain to my daughter why they were laughing at the women’s hockey team.

Now that's a golden smile if we've ever seen one 🥇🇺🇸 #WinterOlympics

What a loser, trying to ride the Olympic hockey team’s coattails, when he should be in the states doing his job.

@Nostre_damus 😂😂😭😭

@JustinPetersMin I’m always fascinated when someone believes in an all-powerful supernatural being who transcends physics… but draws a hard line at advanced civilizations possibly solving interstellar travel.

There are no aliens. Even if there were (and there aren't) they would have no way of getting here. The distances are simply too vast. Far, far too vast. The nearest star outside of our own sun is 4.2 light-years away. No aliens, no matter how clever, will ever be able to travel anywhere near the speed of light. The laws of physics prevent it. To accelerate any mass at all (even a pebble) to anything approaching even 1/3rd the speed of light would take incomprehensibly vast amounts of energy. You need a lot of spaceship (and I mean YUGE) to hold that much energy. So, now you've got a heck of a lot more than a pebble to move. Your energy problem just got infinitely worse. It's impossible folks. ET ain't out there, and even if he was, he ain't dropping by for a visit.

@PeteHegseth @DOWResponse @POTUS Looks like there’s an office already at the Pentagon for that x.com/dow_aaro?s=21&…

@spreadlove2024 @tedlieu @AGPamBondi Save the babies? Not too concerned about what happened to these babies are you Karson.

@tedlieu @AGPamBondi Why did you delete your original version, Ted? You are guilty of rape by association per your standards and threatening the Attorney General of United States.@AGPamBondi is probably not a wise choice!

Dear @AGPamBondi: You did the one thing your king ordered you not to do: you made Trump look guilty. You also lied under oath. And you surveilled the search history of Congress Members. We are impeaching you when we flip the House. Unless you resign first. Good evening.

@PeteHegseth Sure, burn more taxpayer money on your ego. Must be nice.

This will be immediately appealed. Sedition is sedition, “Captain.”

@joelarra47 They don’t care. Their TDS is at an all time high.

I love President Trump sense of humor !

@pastormarkburns Oh please, you know that’s BS, Pastor Tom

Statement on Video Depicting the Obamas I just spoke directly with President Trump regarding the offensive Obama ape video that circulated online. The President assured me clearly and unequivocally that he did not post it. He understands the painful and racist history in America of depicting African Americans as apes, a tactic long used by white supremacists to demean Black intelligence and humanity. He knows this is wrong, offensive, and unacceptable. The President made it clear to me that this post was made by a staffer and not by him. My recommendation to the President was direct and firm. That staffer should be fired immediately, and the President should publicly condemn this action. This kind of insensitive and racist communication does not reflect the heart, values, or leadership of the President of the United States, nor does it represent the America we are striving to build. Historically, the intelligence of Black Americans has been questioned and attacked in shameful ways. From the era of slavery, when enslaved Africans were falsely portrayed as inferior to justify bondage, to the Civil War, when Black Union soldiers were often denied officer ranks despite bravery and leadership, to the Jim Crow era, where racist pseudoscience compared Black people to animals in textbooks, cartoons, and propaganda. Even into the modern era, these same ugly stereotypes have been recycled to undermine Black achievement, leadership, and dignity. Racism must be confronted, not excused. Accountability matters. And leaders must always speak clearly when lines are crossed. #SpiritualDiplomat

@drmoore I think a major concern should be the children who witnessed this action by the president. Children don’t process this as politics or parse press statements; they absorb what power models. And once dignity is publicly violated at that level, the harm doesn’t simply rewind.

Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame? And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Come on, he for sure knows by now and the fact that he hasn’t deleted it speaks volumes.

I sincerely hope President @realDonaldTrump didn’t realise this 60-second clip he reposted last night didn’t end with the vile racist imagery of the Obamas as apes. He should delete it immediately.

@BBCRosAtkins I sometimes wonder what might have been different if ordinary Germans had protested, resisted, or fought back when people were being rounded up. History suggests mass, early resistance can change the trajectory of a state. That's why I think protests like this matter

We've added to our reporting on the shooting of Alex Pretti. This video looks in further detail at bystander video footage - and analyses the Trump administration's description of the events that day. It's produced with my colleagues at BBC Verify. bbc.co.uk/news/world/us_…
