@NYCkopp @mckinnon_pjm Uh, Memorial Day isn’t supposed to be “Happy”

Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸 NYC fun fact: the George Washington Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1931 🌉 It now carries 14 lanes across 2 levels and nearly 300,000 vehicles a day. On select holidays the world’s largest free flying American flag!

@SunderlandLolly @mckinnon_pjm She looks fabulous- beautiful and real.

I love this so much. What a refreshing change from the inflated lips, paralysed foreheads and botox at 25👏 👏 👏 👏 #RachelWard

@midwestern_ope puppy chow.

@LeahRain77 worked at a Marshall’s years ago. Once final clearance done, it went into the compactor- we weren’t allowed to eat the food items. Had to destroy.

These women went dumpster diving behind a Home Goods store . I can’t believe how much new merchandise the store throws away 😳

@SarahHuckabee Close, but you forgot your boss

I could write the autopsy for you really quick: Joe Biden was the worst President America has had in decades, surpassed in incompetence only by their next nominee, Kamala Harris.

@TetonGravity odd that you aren’t interested in me wanting to add to my order - no way to talk to a human and you haven’t responded to my email.

@RandomP97494379 @thespybrief Dropped their flag and my support for them from my profile a little while ago.

@thespybrief A lot of questions answered now. A truly sad turn of events. I have been one of Israel's biggest fans.

@ScoutKennedy @BBCNews Banning tailgating was a brilliant tactic to keep Americans disinterested…I mean why try to get a country of 300 million ppl with world class athletes interested in their sport? 🤦‍♀️

Folks in the comments acting like the US has never hosted a World Cup. The Argentina/Iceland FRIENDLY is almost sold out in an 88,000-seat stadium 100 miles from any big city (Auburn, Ala.) Tickets are still too expensive, but not WTF expensive. This isn't about Trump. This isn't about the US lack of interest. Atlanta United is a dumpster fire of a team, and they average close to what Chelsea and Juventus do in attendance. This is purely about price gauging and greed. I live in Atlanta and I'll fly to Europe for a match before dropping 4 and 5 figures for a match 30 minutes from my house. I don't care who's playing. And because of that greed and price gauging, they deserve to fail.. spectacularly

@Mylovanov @kcdubz If Russia eventually takes over Ukraine, I can’t imagine how they rule over a people who wil (understandably) hate them for eternity.

A 12-year-old Ukrainian boy saved his siblings by doing something many soldiers fail to do under pressure. Anatolii Prokhorenko grabbed a fiber-optic cable connected directly to Russia and stopped a drone seconds before it hit children playing near his house, The WP. 1/

@arcticinstincts Travelled in my 20s. Sure, traveling only to relatives for yrs w/ kids ‘cuz we couldn’t afford more wasn’t exciting. Comparing the two makes it clear: for me, self fulfillment is really nice, but nurturing and forsaking yourself for your child makes for a truly satisfying life.

POV: It is 2026 in USA. You are a couple who both carry the recessive DINK gene mutation for preferring traveling over having kids. You have 100 GBs of selfies in mid tourist destinations but 0 children. You are about to experience natural selection.

@MBTrumpwatcher Dr.’s office was on auto repeat with the “advanced maternal age” shtick with #3 who was due right after my 38th bday. Can’t imagine the conniptions with those ages.

@COterriermom @RJBrandenburg @thespybrief I suspect the Chinese know far more about us than we do about them.

@RJBrandenburg @thespybrief Do the Chinese even know about the song's background?

What a time to be semi alive! @thespybrief

@end3of6days9 My 24 y/o didn’t even see a tv screen (unless incidentally) until he was 2. Then it was simply the old musical opening to Thomas the Tank Engine while I nursed his sister to bed. My kids knew how to be bored and entertain themselves; a necessary skill 4 kids

This mom is keeping it so real — her little one is over a year old and has had zero screens. No TV, no phones, no iPad. The only tiny exception is a calm, low-stimulation aquarium video when they need to trim his nails or get a haircut. She told the story of going out to dinner and accidentally leaving his toys in the car… so he happily played with a paper straw, a napkin, and his water bottle instead. He was smiling, waving, pointing at things, and trying to communicate with everyone around him. It definitely takes more of our attention and presence as parents — but she’s right, that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be. Research shows that too much screen time in those precious first two years can quietly pull our littlest ones away from the real-world experiences their growing brains need most. Studies link early and excessive exposure to language delays, attention and self-regulation challenges later on, and fewer of those rich face-to-face interactions that build strong emotional and social skills. Have you tried delaying or limiting screens with your babies or toddlers? What’s one simple “real life” thing your little one loves playing with instead?

@LynneBP_294 @AndrewScheidl TX law seems pretty clear there.

Amen! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I completely agree with the ruling! Wouldn't you had done the same? A 23-year-old Texas father sent his children to feed the chickens on the family ranch. His son came running back. His sister had been grabbed and carried into a shed. The father ran inside, pulled a 47-year-old ranch hand off his 5-year-old daughter, and beat the man with his bare hands. He called 911 immediately, asking for help, saying he did not know what to do. The man died from his injuries. A grand jury declined to charge the father. Texas law allows deadly force during a sexual assault. To one side, this is exactly how the law should work — a parent protecting a child in the moment. To the other, deadly private justice always carries risk, even when the moral case feels obvious.

@boomerAmerica @TheReader41261 @thewriterme @gracieback2 Can’t really do that but we can stop importing it.

@TheReader41261 @thewriterme @gracieback2 Ban Islam in America

The numbers tell the whole story!

@ReddogOHIO @DanielConlin6 @citrinowicz well, standards are being adjusted daily….

@TweetsABitNow @DanielConlin6 @citrinowicz Well except for the shoes. He’s a sycophant. Just not as openly so

We need to be honest with ourselves: so far, this campaign has been a major strategic failure. There were certainly important operational achievements, and the level of coordination between U.S. Central Command and the Israel Defense Forces was highly impressive. But wars are not judged by tactical successes alone, they are judged against their original strategic objectives. The Iranian regime did not fall, and at this stage there is no indication that it is close to collapsing. There was no regime change in Iran; instead, there was a change within the regime, and arguably for the worse. The crisis appears to have strengthened Mojtaba Khamenei and the more hardline elements of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, giving them greater influence over Iran’s decision-making process. On the conventional front, Iran still retains most of its military capabilities. Even where damage was inflicted, it has not fundamentally altered Tehran’s ability or willingness to resume military confrontation. On the nuclear front, Iran continues to possess a massive stockpile of enriched uranium, including the same roughly 440 kilograms enriched to near-weapons-grade levels. More importantly, the regime still possesses the scientific and technical expertise necessary to enrich to 90% if it chooses to do so. And beyond that, Iran still maintains leverage over the Strait of Hormuz — which remained open and stable before the war began. I do not know how this conflict will ultimately end. But if these are the conditions under which it concludes, then this will be remembered as a profound strategic failure — one that leaves behind a far worse regional reality than the one that existed before the campaign began. Ignoring that reality will not improve the situation; it will only deepen the problem. Iran built its national security doctrine around asymmetric capabilities. Damage to its navy or air force, however significant tactically, does not fundamentally undermine its ability to wage this kind of confrontation. That is the reality, whether policymakers are comfortable acknowledging it or not. A serious strategy for weakening the Iranian regime in the future has to begin with an honest recognition of this reality. It is possible that the United States is planning additional, more significant steps. But if we are assessing the campaign as it stands today, the outcome is deeply negative. Without acknowledging that, Washington risks building its next phase on a false premise — and that is exactly how tactical achievements turn into strategic failure. No wonder Iran is not surrendering at the negotiating table if this is indeed the reality. It is time to go back to the drawing board rather than keep insisting on an approach that has already failed. And it starts with one basic understanding: Iran is not Venezuela. Conventional cost-benefit calculations do not necessarily work against a regime that is willing to sacrifice its own population to preserve its rule. There is no textbook solution here. Not the Kurds, not arming the opposition, and not targeted killings. None of these, on their own, provides a strategic answer to the Iranian problem set. It is time to think seriously about a different strategy, because the current approach is not containing the threat. It is producing a security reality that is, almost by definition, worse than the one that existed before. If the objective is to weaken the Iranian regime over time, then repeating tools that have already failed is not strategy. #IranWar‌

@RCEY28 @gofishh77 Filters are the best hack.

This tank topped brunette woman sits in her car and holds up a tortoiseshell headband while talking to the camera. She demonstrates putting the headband on adjusting her hair and showing different angles with expressive hand gestures and smiles. She's says that this quick accessory tutorial turns a chaotic day into a helpful beauty tip turning away the anxiety of her hair flying into her face You wonder if sharing everyday hair hacks like this while driving is useful content or just another distraction on the road. What is your favorite stress reducing life hack?

@DanielConlin6 @citrinowicz Nah, that was his first term. Aside from Rubio, they’re all sycophants.

I agree with this assessment. I was shocked that Trump launched this war, but initially felt that it was likely to succeed. Trump may be rash and impulsive, but I do think that he has smart and capable people around him this time, and I hope that a change in strategy is on the cards. I've always been quick to dismiss Trump because of his overinflated rhetoric, but he often manages to exceed my expectations. I pray that he does so again.

@TheAnomaly888 @MarioNawfal Ha- she even admitted that she married him for his money and he for her looks. “Love” isn’t in either one’s vocabulary.

@MarioNawfal Melania was one of Epstein's hookers that got sent out to Trump. Has to be Maybe they fell in love later. but they didnt meet by accident. Look at Trump, Look at Melania. There is no reality where a woman like that would fuck Trump without a motive. Lets get real on this

🇺🇸 Epstein survivors were shocked by Melania denying ties to Epstein, and are now alarmed by reports Republicans may push to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. Survivor Annie Farmer called it “extremely troubling.” If true, they're not doing it for free.

@NancyH_60 @end3of6days9 Enormous improvement over the original.

Ozark Outlaw: The Haygoods Turn Styx’s Renegade into a Country Heartbreaker” In the rolling hills of the Ozarks, where family harmonies run deeper than any river, Branson’s beloved The Haygoods — that tight-knit crew of brothers and sister who’ve lit up stages for decades — take Styx’s classic rock anthem “Renegade” and make it their own. What was once a gritty 70s rocker about a doomed outlaw staring down the long arm of the law and the hangman’s noose becomes a soul-stirring country tale full of twang, tight sibling vocals, and raw emotion. Picture this: the lawman’s closing in, the bounty’s been claimed, and a renegade who once had it made now writes one last letter home — “Oh Mama, I’m in fear for my life…” — but this time it’s delivered with heartfelt country grit, soaring harmonies, and that unmistakable Haygoods energy that turns every performance into a family sing-along. From rock arena to campfire porch, the spirit of the wanted man lives on, proving that great stories (and great songs) transcend genres. Who knew Styx could sound this heartfelt and homegrown? The Haygoods just showed us — and it hits different under those Ozark stars. 🔥🎸
