Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

@Kyle_Gredt @credealjunkie Ah yes, I’m pebble brained because you’re inarticulate. Makes sense.

@MeganBiller @credealjunkie Ok. Let me rephrase for the pebble brains. Not giving your kid access to group chats that are accessed via the internet is the modern day equivalent of not being allowed outside to play.

My oldest is 11 and at the age where all her friends have phones. Unfortunately for her, her parents won’t let her get one. So my wife came up with a compromise, and we’re one day into the experiment. To solve the legitimate issue of no-phone kids being left out of social planning, my wife joined a WhatsApp group with our daughter’s friends. She promised not to read the messages, and will tell our daughter when there’s a new one. Daughter can respond under supervision, because unfortunately for her she inherited basically zero self discipline from her father and we don’t trust her not to abuse the privilege. So we’ll see how it goes. I expect a failure of titanic proportion for a dozen reasons, but hope to be proven wrong.

@Kyle_Gredt @credealjunkie Woof. Terrible take. Not giving them access to group chats and peer communication, sure, but the entire internet?? That’s more like the white van man asking if they want candy and you telling them no.

@credealjunkie Not giving your kid access to the internet is the modern day equivalent of your friends knocking on the door asking if you can come outside and play, and your mom saying no.

I think smartphones are ruining our lives but also if I had to go to the airport in 1998 with just my wits & a subway map I’d kill myself

@emilyjashinsky @femelafemela He objectively didn’t run the show into the ground, by ratings and ad revenue metrics (the only ones that matter). It was thriving. Your original tweet makes zero sense, but sure, keep defending it.

@femelafemela because he was a biased hack who was the face of the show. and had enormous editorial influence. honestly not sure why those dots are hard to connect.

Imploring people who have reasonable concerns about the direction of CBS not to credulously elevate the claims of someone like Scott Pelley who helped run the network and industry into the ground

@HQNewsNow @Maggie_Hassan Jfc. Don’t ask him that question and then roll over his chance to answer! God knows it’s would have been “years” and that soundbite would live in infamy.

Trump's Treasury Secretary: F-food prices, or as many people like to call them, groceries, statistical data-- Sen. @Maggie_Hassan: When's the last time you were in a grocery store??

@hthieblot Homestar Runner, daily

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

@CabbageGrrl @msmarysopinions Cabahlli (Cobolli)

@msmarysopinions Does he ever pronounce *anyone's* name correctly?!

At this point, respect to John McEnroe for his continued commitment to never pronouncing Zverev's name correctly.

@yoxics Can an SLP identify his speech impediment? Why does he pronounce first consonants so strangely? i.e. M, B… it’s like he doesn’t involve his lips and just uses his teeth? I’m noticing this impediment more and more.

MrBeast reveals he has less than $1,000,000 to his name despite being a Billionaire on paper "I have negative money right now, I'm borrowing money that's how little money I have. Technically everyone watching this video has more money than me in their bank account"

tragic photo mismatch

@Tanya_Sabrinaaa Don’t take it if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients

talk to your doctor about wegozil. shout at your doctor about blarpo. whisper with your doctor about cixyl. show your doctor the sign (👌🤦‍♀️👏) for flonartil. laugh with your doctor about wexadry. email your doctor about drongle. glance meaningfully at your doctor about floova

NEW: In @NickBilton’s first all-hands meeting at 60 Minutes this morning, @ScottPelley told Nick he had “scant qualifications” for the job and pressed him to account for last week’s firings. Nick suggested conversation would be better held in private, Scott countered that he’d prefer to have them in front of his colleagues. Nick told Scott, “they’re my colleagues too,” to which Scott replied: “that remains to be seen.” I’ll have much more in tonight’s In The Room: puck.news/newsletters/in… @PuckNews

@slaylorfritz He’s got a helluva face card but a very strange body shape with chicken legs

he knows

@tedcruz Y’all are so, so bad at this

What the hell is he eating? It’s not BBQ—because Talarico is passionately anti-meat. Is that a tofu log?

@NancyMace Ok, no ambulances to their aid, then. No nurses that the schools (and many times, public college scholarships) educated. No public services. That’s fine!

Our seniors should not pay property taxes.

@LukeTheHound @ajlamesa This is the worst moral judgment moment. Having to say out loud, “no, I don’t want to round up for veterans as I’m buying my weekly groceries that are breaking my budget.” Silently tapping “no tip” is a guilt trip already.

@ajlamesa And let's talk about the new "would you like to round up for scholarships" when I use my Visa debit card. I say "No, actually I don't want to contribute to your tax write off."

Forcing customers to hit no tip after buying a $2 donut or $3 drip coffee introduces socio-emotional labor to the transaction. Multiply that across multiple purchases during the day and a lot of people feel annoyed in a way they wouldn’t if buying stuff in, say, Sweden or Japan.

@MeghanMcCain Girl, you are so messy. Why are you responding to a joke? Why you so maaaad???

Fuck. You.

@KariHoffman2020 @jam6242 @MeriLumpkin Child, there is EXTENSIVE video evidence of every detail of that day. The “fake news media” narrative isn’t gonna save you.

I really don’t care if you’re pissed off. The difference between you and I is, if your life was destroyed over lies like ours was, I would be irate for you. I would stand for you. The difference is you choose to believe what the media wants you to believe instead of doing research for yourself. I would research your situation and not just automatically judge you on BS.

On January 6, 2021, my husband and I traveled to Washington, D.C. to peacefully stand with thousands of other Americans who believed their voices mattered. I was pregnant at the time. We never imagined we would leave that day physically attacked and emotionally scarred. While we stood among crowds of people singing, praying, and chanting “USA,” a barrage of tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bangs suddenly began raining down upon us. We were not violent. We were not attacking anyone. We were simply there — and we were treated like enemies. What followed changed our lives forever. In 2023, our home was raided by the FBI at gunpoint. Our children were dragged from their beds and forced into a hot garage in the middle of summer in only their pajamas. Agents threatened to shoot our dogs for trying to protect our family. Our home was torn apart while our children watched in terror. My husband was pulled from bed, arrested, and never properly told why. We spent tens of thousands of dollars on legal defense trying to survive a system that already seemed determined to convict anyone connected to January 6. We were told he was facing up to 53 years in prison if he went to trial. After watching case after case end in convictions, we truly believed the system was corrupt and that he would never receive a fair chance in court. We were told he could not fully present his own evidence, and we were told self-defense arguments would not be allowed. Several-second video clips were used in court as “evidence,” but they did not show the full picture or everything that actually happened that day. Then came the impossible choice: take a plea deal or risk losing the rest of his life. My husband was the sole provider for our family business and our household — a home that included me, my husband, my father-in-law, and our six children, including a newborn baby. The thought of losing him for decades was something our family simply could not survive. Faced with the threat of spending most of his life in prison and leaving his family behind, my husband accepted a plea deal out of fear and desperation — not because justice had been served. Today, we are incredibly thankful that President Trump granted him a pardon and brought him home to his family. But the damage done to our lives did not end there. During the time Luke was out on bond, Police were called to my home because my husband accidentally entered the wrong door at our daughter’s school after being directed there by our child. Even ordinary moments of life became filled with fear, scrutiny, and humiliation. We felt like we were constantly being watched and treated as dangerous simply because of January 6. This ordeal also stole something deeply personal from our family — the joy surrounding the birth of our youngest son. What should have been one of the happiest and most peaceful times of our lives was overshadowed by fear, stress, court cases, public judgment, and uncertainty about our future. Since then, our family has suffered devastating financial and emotional damage. Our reputation was destroyed. Our business suffered. We accumulated crushing debt trying to survive legal fees, lost income, and years of uncertainty. The emotional toll on our children cannot be measured. People see headlines. They see edited clips. They see labels. What they do not see are the wives left holding families together. The children traumatized by armed raids. The marriages tested by fear, isolation, and public shame. The years of our lives consumed by stress, court dates, and survival There must be accountability for what was done to so many American families. Until justice is truly served, we will never fully be home again — and our nation will never fully heal. The damage done did not end with prison sentences or media headlines. Families like ours are still living with the consequences every single day. #PayTheJ6ers

@KariHoffman2020 So you want reparations? Hmm?

@lecternleader Your handle is lectern guy. Your profile photo is you with the fucking lectern. Tell me again how it’s ruined your life and you’ve spent 150k to rehab your reputation? Seriously, what is wrong with you?

On a serious note, I am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to DC and deliver it personally. My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods. I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey. My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life. Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist. My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security. USF denied my reentry into college. I had to fight to get my guns rights back. My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA. My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk. My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and I lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me. We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation. The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it. They maliciously charged me with felony theft. We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the J6ers, we can finally finish setting things right.
