@PabloReports @Acyn We need a party in this country that has standards. Platner is a piece of shit… and we already have a Fetterman.

Auchincloss attacking Platner's tattos on-air seems misguided. Might get the congressman some bookings, but fighting for Susan Collins isn't how rando Democrats become actual somebodies on 2026.

@johnkonrad How about someone who lists “Ship Captain” but hasn’t actually commanded a ship?
English
I dare you to find a more embarrassing bio than this.

@DOWResponse @johnkonrad Nobody knows sacrifice and selflessness like Trump — many people are saying!
English
President Trump has just laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in honor of Memorial Day.
May we live worthy of their sacrifice🇺🇸

Every few weeks, the second Trump administration does something that would have sunk any other president.

@polyminnow @dilanesper I think of Quincy as a brilliant producer, admittedly not as familiar with his songwriting. What are some of his most iconic songs?
English
@MichaelRay02835 @dilanesper Quincy Jones, and it's not remotely close.

Bob Dylan, who turns 85 today, is a fine lyricist, put out a few very decent records, and is one of the worst singers ever to hit the top 5.
The Byrds got to number 1 with Mr. Tambourine Man (a good song!) because he couldn't sing and they could.

@BrettErickson28 Kinda feel like him being a huge dick who is legendarily full of shit will remain part of the narrative.

20 years from now, Donald Trump will be remembered for two things:
Iran and Epstein
His legacy is over.
English
@EWErickson Quite a movement, maga. Maybe it’s time to fully repudiate it.
English
Katie Miller: “Did investigators track for any connection between Epstein and the Pizzagate controversy?”
Todd Blanche: “…The Pizzagate conspiracy theory has been debunked repeatedly by law enforcement.”
English
@RadioFreeTom I’m beginning to think the “ship captain” (who never commanded a ship) has a thing for you.
English
@TimChapman @EWErickson Great take. Definitely had nothing to do with Epstein.
English
I appreciate Rep. Massie’s commitment to limited government - we need way more of that in the GOP. But his decision to make common cause with anti-Israel conspiracists was wrong and as a political matter gained him nothing.
Tucker Carlson and the rest are out of touch with rank and file Republican voters.
English
@johnkonrad So you’re acknowledging the whole “Ship Captain” thing is… (charitably) an embellishment? If so, man up and do so explicitly. And if you’re pissed at me for picking at this, consider how many “ship captain here” postings you have made and recognize you invited the scrutiny.
English
@MichaelRay02835 Who said you should trust me?
Maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't trust any naval accounts on x.
English
I would never be arrogant enough to say your naval opinion doesn’t matter unless you’ve built and commanded an actual ship.
But lately, I’m starting to understand the temptation.
English
@DanLamothe Another on-brand maga “many people are saying!” justification.

No evidence ever has been presented of reporters obtaining classified information while roaming the halls of the Pentagon.
Those halls, I would add, are unclassified spaces routinely visited by tourists, foreign military personnel, etc.
Classified spaces at the Pentagon are locked -- as one would expect.
Sean Parnell@SeanParnellASW
The latest filing by the New York Times, while dressed up to look like a constitutional challenge, is nothing more than an attempt to remove the barriers to them getting their hands on classified information. They want to roam the halls of the Pentagon freely and without an escort - a privilege that they do not have in any other federal building. The Department's policy is completely lawful and narrowly designed to protect national security information from unlawful criminal disclosure.

Glad to have the support of Rep. Harriet Hageman, who defeated Liz Cheney in her primary. @HagemanforWY
Listen to Harriet set the record straight and expose the lies Texans are hearing in this race. #LiveFree 🇺🇸

@MikeLoyd2013 @BDHerzinger @johnkonrad Just as not all (even most ) Navy Captains command/commanded ships, the same is true in the merchant marine. Rank does not equal experience; those who deliberately conflate the two are… interesting.
Not denigrating those without command experience, just those who pretend.
English
@BDHerzinger But @johnkonrad is a retired ship captain? Doesn’t that mean he knows everything?
English
@Mollyploofkins Ironically, it all boils down to Massie’s unwillingness to ignore Trump’s attempts to bury the entire Epstein saga.
English
@johnkonrad @TheUnap16592593 This is a pathetic response. Grow up.
English
Some of the top naval “xperts” told me the Navy would quietly drop the Trump Battleship by summer.
I even got cancelled from my regular appearances on a top navy podcast for saying THIS IS HAPPENING
Well folks. The Navy didn’t back down.
They doubled down with nuclear power!

@johnkonrad ZUMWALT 2.0. Except we won’t even build 3. What a colossal waste of resources.

@greggnunziata @CathyYoung63 He would call the Republicans of that era “woke.” Such shamelessness.

What an incredibly dumb point, reflecting a broken, hopelessly partisan mind.
Dinesh D'Souza@DineshDSouza
Of 4 million slaves in America in 1860, fewer than 10—not 10%, the number 10—were owned by Republicans. More than 90% of the slaves were owned by Democrats. This crushing fact is left out of the textbooks, unreported by NPR, PBS & the History Channel. Yet it’s undeniably true.
