"He added that he would need to talk with his attorney to see if can claw back the $1 million he gave an independent committee supporting Swalwell."
Good. We don't want @ericswalwell or the ppl running these committees to be able to use donor $ for Eric's attorneys to harass victims
@TodayiLearrned I have leather soled shoes (Bruno Magli). They are terrible. Uncomfortable and the sole just gets scratched in the first 30 feet of walking. Give me vibram soles.
@funkybatdraws@22Lamb22@katieporterca Anger like that with people who work for you is unfathomable. Anger is a sign of weakness. This lady can't even maintain her composure at work. Narcissistic to the core.
@22Lamb22@katieporterca If you main problem with this is her anger and cursing rather than the inaccuracy of the statistic she's citing, you're part of the problem.
Now, if we want to talk about the flawed citation, THAT'S fair game. But fuck off with the tone policing. I LIKE that she's bitchy!
@katieporterca I’m waiting to see who Gavin Newsom endorses before I even start considering who to vote for. If he doesn't endorse a candidate, I have much research to do.
I am suspending my campaign for Governor.
To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.
I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.
Let me be clear. I am not a supporter of yours. But I do think that you are innocent until proven guilty. I think it's terrible that ANYONE, can have a career or campaign derailed by allegations alone. I think that you and President Trump have suffered from political allegations. Even though I do not agree with your politics, I encourage you to not cave unless something in your heart says you are guilty.
How Elon Musk hired ex-Tesla president @jonmcneill is a story you shouldn't miss:
Tesla promised a sale of 12,000 cars. Six weeks in, they'd sold 3. Elon was staring at disaster.
Jon went undercover. He visited 8 Tesla stores, test drove cars using fake emails, and never got a callback.
He called sales ops and asked: "How many people test drove in the last 30 days and never got called back?"
Answer: 9,000.
Jon immediately ordered teams in Asia and Europe to start calling every single one back.
Sales exploded.
When he called Elon to apologize for overstepping, Elon cut him off:
"You've proven you can be useful. Why don't you just join?"
Don't ask for permission to lead. Find the bottleneck and fix it.
Results beat resumes. Every time.

@robfindlay@gotravelyourway Don't sit in the terminal at all. Just walk the terminal for the 1-2 hours until you board. You'll be sitting most of the time anyway.
Also you can stand-up and walk to the back and just stand there a bit.
You’re about to board a 10+hour flight. Which aircraft are you hoping to see at the gate?
✈️ Airbus A350
✈️ Boeing 787 Dreamliner
✈️ Boeing 777
✈️ Airbus A380
Be honest. 👀
I'd heard how crazy the college admissions process is, but now seeing it in reality has blown my mind.
My kid has great grades (4.2 weighted) with a ton of APs, leadership ec's, a very solid athletic resume, parents paying cash, etc., all at a private college-preparatory HS, and she has basically no chance of getting into a UC or CSU for her major.
Not sure what needs to be done, but this is crazy. 🙄😩
JUST IN 🔴
Iran’s parliament speaker responds to Trump’s naval blockade:
• “Americans must decide whether they are ready to earn Iran’s trust or not.”
• “Trump’s recent threats have no effect on the Iranian nation, we have proven it.”
• “We had very intensive, serious, and challenging talks… we presented strong initiatives that showed goodwill and led to progress.”
• “We do not trust the Americans… they must earn our trust, and that is difficult due to their past actions.”
• “The Iranian nation is advancing on its path and relies on its own capabilities.”
• “Our delegation was united, serious, and creative in defending Iran’s rights.”
• “These threats have no effect… this is not a slogan, the world has seen it.”
• “If America wants a way out, it must earn the trust of the Iranian nation.”
• “If you fight, we will fight, and if you come with logic, we will respond with logic.”
@gregbayan@RealJamesWoods I dont believe it. It's easier to force out those polling much lower. Offer Katie $5M to drip, offer Mahan $5M to drop. So much easier and cheaper.
@RealJamesWoods What do you think of the theory that the Democrats are deliberately forcing Swalwell out of the CA governor's race, so that the Democratic primary vote isn't diluted among several candidates?
This is the most sublime example of “the internet is forever” ever!
Here’s censured liar Adam Schiff pontificating about “lying and indecency” with Eric Swalwell in an instant classic.
Watching the Democrat Party implode in slow motion is a such a joy.
AMERICAN AIRLINES JUST DEVALUED THEIR OWN LOYALTY STATUS
Starting May 18, basic economy fares are no longer eligible for the following EVEN if you have status
- Free seat assignments
- Complimentary upgrades
- Systemwide upgrades
This is a huge hit to loyalty status holders as you are now forced to pay for Main Cabin fares to even use your status perks
Is this the beginning of the end?
@Osint613 Ground troops are an inevitably now. What an easily avoidable disaster this administration has involved is in. No matter how many Iranian leaders we kill, Iran will still have the upper hand because of their economic chock point. This is about to get even worse
U.S. Vice President JD Vance:
"The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. So, we go back to the U.S. having not come to an agreement. They have chosen not to accept our terms."
BREAKING: Iranian State TV revealed the reasons for the failure of the talks with the U.S
Details:
- The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war
- The Americans demanded that Iran hand over enriched uranium and open the Strait of Hormuz without recognizing Iran’s sovereignty over it
- Iran has decided to defend its national interests by military means
@IranObserver0 Iran's nuclear program is no one's business. Does anyone in the US allow other countries to dictate to them what to do with their nuclear arsenal or with their territories? These people are not serious negotiators at all. They want to bully everybody else and buy time.
