@RepMaxwellFrost Why did 52 sloths have to die before closing that place? USDA, FWC, other regulators had authority to set strict conditions, inspect, and shut this down early. Instead, they looked the other way while wild, sensitive animals were warehoused without basic care.

After the loss of 50+ sloths, Sloth World is now shut down and the 13 surviving sloths are safe at the Central Florida Zoo. We worked to hold Sloth World accountable and I’m grateful to the local leaders, advocates, and constituents who reached out to our office and spoke out. My office is continuing to look in to how we can ensure a tragedy like this doesn't happen again.

@BulwarkOnline @sandibachom @CarolLeonnig @Timodc Doesn’t really matter though. Although Bondi has been moved out, Blanche is still in favor with his leader. As long as admin members are in favor, they’ll keep their jobs and the heck with feelings.

"The disdain and hatred for Bondi and Blanche pale like a white hot sun compared to the way agents feel about Kash Patel." @CarolLeonnig tells @Timodc FBI sources describe the Bureau under Kash Patel as chaotic, demoralized and defined by deep internal contempt for its director.

@AndyKimNJ @herbiechar We? How?

I’m leaving the Capitol at 4am after Republicans rammed through a vote paving a path for $70B to fund ICE for years without any reforms/accountability. They rejected all Dem proposals to lower your healthcare costs, housing, and gas prices. Spread the word. We need to stop this.

@mehdirhasan @1zzyzyx1 MAGA math.

We’re governed by fucking morons

@Rep_Stansbury @gordy_shanks Because Rs know how to play the game. And they are still the majority and they know how to block Dem attempts at oversight. So you need a new playbook for this game.

Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case? Good Question! Republicans have stopped regular committee hearings. And, instead are holding roundtables where official motions (like contempt) cannot be made. And they control the committee and the chamber. That’s why Dems are taking a stand. We demand public hearings. We demand compliance with the law. And, we demand real oversight and justice for the survivors!

@SarahLongwell25 @MichellesDude How proud are you, @tim_cook? Embarrassing for you after you “kissed” his pompous *ss.

I can’t imagine a more humiliating way to go out.

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it. He’s just burning your tax money.

@ABC7 The pilot is masterful.

It wasn't the landing anyone expected, but somehow, a hot air balloon carrying 13 people landed in the backyard of a Temecula home on Saturday. "I open the sliding glass door, and there's a basket full of thirteen people in my backyard!!" the homeowner told Eyewitness News. Read more: spr.ly/6014B675Fe

@Pontifex @klingensmith_j I do very much want your words to make a difference, but that’s unlikely,

I am deeply saddened by the recent escalation of attacks against Ukraine, which continue to afflict civilians. I express my solidarity with those who are suffering and assure all the Ukrainian people of my prayers. I renew my appeal for weapons to fall silent and for the path of dialogue to be pursued.

@NewsHour Cruel, unchristian.

They are among more than 13,000 immigrants who were living legally in the U.S., waiting for rulings on asylum claims, when they suddenly faced so-called third-country deportation orders, destined for countries where most had no ties, according to the nonprofit group Mobile Pathways. to.pbs.org/3OfRi2Q

The Hormuz Straight was not closed before trump’s war. It’s closed because of trump’s illegal war.

@washingtonpost The Trump team trying to shove Theodore Roosevelt, who pushed for safety reforms, but wasn’t a player, coach or football great, to the Pro Football Hall of Fame is dumb. This turns the hall of fame into a political prop, not a sports honor.

The Trump administration has urged professional football’s leaders to induct Theodore Roosevelt into the sport’s hall of fame, with one top official predicting it will happen within the year. wapo.st/4mFXyh8

@marceelias @LadyVan10 Who, when? Is this to protect his job?

🚨BREAKING: FBI director Kash Patel said that his agency will soon make arrests – maybe this week – in connection to the 2020 presidential election, which he claims was rigged. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/fb…

@buitengebieden I’ll never tire of this video.

It’s Friday!! 🎉

@buitengebieden Good job, mama!

Windy day..

@ABCPolitics Thomas attacking progressives as a threat to America is election‑year messaging. Calling progressives a “threat to democracy” while your own party gerrymanders, suppresses votes, and tried to overturn an election IS the actual threat to democracy. Shamefully partisan & alarming.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednesday delivered a televised broadside against progressivism, a political philosophy he described as an existential threat to America and the principles that founded it 250 years ago. abcnews.link/vKHBiTS

@bykatiebuehler If the table was turned, he wouldn’t apologize—she is the better person.

NEW: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor publicly apologizes for comments suggesting Justice Brett Kavanaugh was privileged and out of touch for his concurrence in an immigration case greenlighting warrantless ICE stops in LA. #SCOTUS

@NewsHour Such an embarrassment.

Vice President JD Vance said that Pope Leo XIV needs to "be careful" when talking about religious concepts, following the pontiff's criticism of the war in Iran. "I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology," Vance said Monday. "If you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful," he added. "You've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth." During a Turning Point USA event at the University of Georgia, Vance argued that the pope was wrong to say that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword. Vance, who converted to Catholicism as an adult, said he "certainly" thinks God was on the side of the Americans in World War II as they liberated survivors from Nazi concentration camps. Vance's comments come after President Donald Trump openly condemned Leo for speaking out against the U.S-Israeli war with Iran.

@kylegriffin1 Sounds like engagement bait.

It appears Addison Rae has filed a copyright claim against the Department of Homeland Security after the agency used her song 'Diet Pepsi' in a promo video, which led to the disabling of media capabilities on its post. The Homeland Security tweet now shows a copyright takedown notice. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

@AnaCabrera Because MAGAs are evangelicals, Protestants, not influenced by the Pope; he’s not their guy. Instead they’re influenced by a delusionary, megalomaniac, wanna-be-whatever who’s not Christian & believes “his people” are many more than they are. +DISTRACTION/control the news cycle.

Why pick a fight with the Pope?
