@jackmirkinson Grow up. Being disciplined by the university for lying about what he was going to say in his speech is in no way equivalent to an "unforgivable crime." And "freedom of speech" doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want without consequences.

Trump is planning a “readiness demonstration” with thousands of troops in North Carolina on June 10, a military parade with tanks on June 14 w/synchronized flyovers and a formal “review stand” and a July 4 party, where top donors can get VIP access.
Josh Dawsey@jdawsey1

Big donors who give to group for 250th birthday of America next year are getting special “VIP access” to Trump’s military parade, another military readiness event Trump is having @ Fort Bragg, and a July 4 event where he plans to announce “Patriot Games.” wsj.com/politics/elect…

@BerlantBro Imagine lying to the university about the speech you were going to give and thinking that "free speech" means you can say anything you want and not suffer any consequences.

@BTnewsroom The student lied about what they would be discussing, and NYU is fully within it's right to discipline him. It is not "retaliation" and "free speech" doesn't mean you can say anything you want without consequences. NYU students doing a great job of helping Trump once again.

“I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide.” NYU student Logan Rozos denounced Israel’s genocide in Gaza during his graduation speech to roaring applause. In retaliation, NYU has withheld his diploma and is threatening further disciplinary action.

Trump: “We have numbers no one’s ever seen before. That all means jobs…And we have costs are way down. Groceries. We have a term grocery. It’s an old term, but it means basically what you’re buying, food…Eggs are down… They’re down 98% from where they were.”

@EoinHiggins_ NYU handled this perfectly. "Free speech" doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequences. NYU is perfectly within its right to do this, and good for them. The student lied about what he would say, but you can bet he will be treated as a folk hero on the far left.

@samstein And if shown at all on any of the major nightly news broadcasts, it will be described as "controversial" rather than "deeply disturbing." All because mainstream media is so terrified of appearing "biased" it will simply ignore objective reality. It's insane.

@atrupar Elections have consequences, and the only way out of this madness is to have his lunatic supporters suffer as much as possible. It's the only way.

@cara_jeffrey Rose *does* deserve a plaque if the quality of play merits his inclusion in the HoF. Don't like his character/behavior? Me neither. But wait until you hear about Ty Cobb, Cap Anson, and many other miscreants I could name.

@jbarro It's really something that the media is focusing more on a guy who was losing his faculties but is no longer president rather than the guy who is currently the president and says and does insane things every day.

Murphy deserves credit for being more frank than most other elected Dems on this, but I still don’t get this weird frame that carves out the debate from his job responsibilities. The debate *was* part of the job and we all watched him be no longer capable of doing it.
Holly Otterbein@hollyotterbein

New: Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy told me there’s “no doubt” that former President Joe Biden suffered cognitive decline in office. “The debate is whether it was enough that it compromised his ability to act as chief executive,” he said. politico.com/news/2025/05/1…

@SarahLongwell25 Future presidents will very possibly be people from the entertainment world with absolutely no political experience. That's what happens when people pay more attention to "celebrities" than anyone else. It's terrifying, but it has been coming to this for a long time.

Stray focus group observation: One cannot overestimate the power of both Trump and Vance having been cultural figures before they were political figures. Maybe that’s obvious for Trump, but even Vance wrote a best-selling book that was turned into a major motion picture.

@MikeDro_ Except that "re-instating" a dead person is not really doing anything. It's the HoF's decision to let Rose (and Jackson) in and always has been. MLB never made them ineligible for the HoF - the Hall itself did that. The Hall can choose not to induct them.

Pete Rose is a pedophile who gambled. There’s one rule to baseball and he broke it, and to make matters worse he statutory r*ped a little girl. Major League Baseball got its priorities backwards.
ESPN@espn

Breaking: MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other deceased players from Major League Baseball’s permanently ineligible list. Manfred ruled that MLB’s punishment of banned individuals ends upon their deaths. They are now presumably eligible for election into the Baseball Hall of Fame. More from @DVNJR: spr.ly/6017NZy7l

@_mattschoen_ OK, but there are really only 3 major sports in the US - hockey is so distant a number 4 it might as well be soccer.

NBA is the worst product of the 4 major sports. I’ll die on that hill. I hope their ratings continue to plummet.

@JPHilllllll It's an American myth that most Americans are angry at rich people. They aren't. They are jealous of them, want to be like them, and admire them. It's very weird.

@atrupar Republicans have targeted Medicaid for years and voters in red states consistently support them. Hard to feel sorry for people who voted for this.

RAJU: There are 130,000 South Dakotans on Medicaid. The CBO says nearly 14 million Americans could lose their health insurance, including in your state. Can you support that? REP. DUSTY JOHNSON: Manu, you have fallen for the trap.

@janecoaston Except that lots of seriously shitty people believe those things. Being a true Christian isn't about beliefs or even faith; it's about what you do and say to help others and how you live your life.

I don't want to be a "name ten of his albums" kind of person but yes I think being a Christian does require believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who suffered, died and was buried and rose again three days later in fulfillment of Scripture
Steve Berg@sberg0

@janecoaston But do you have to believe those things to be a Christian? Or just do the most important things he said to do?
