@DrTOMontgomery How did they get them? Did they just go into the wild and grab them? This is such a sad story.

🌎 Holding little Bandit’s hand as he died would’ve been no comfort to him—sloths do not belong among humans. If anything positive can come from all these tragic deaths, it must be a global ban on exporting sloths from the wild.

VICTORY! 🎉 A bill that will help dogs, cats and other animals used in experiments was just signed into law by Maryland Governor Wes Moore! 😺 The Animal Research Modernization and Best Practices Act (SB 423) will: - Require companies that test pesticides, industrial chemicals, household cleaners and other products on animals to switch to non-animal tests as soon as the tests are approved by regulatory agencies - Direct laboratories to report the number of dogs and cats who have been adopted after the experiments on them have ended. - Ban cruel laboratory practices such as devocalizing dogs and cats 👏🏽 Thank you to Senator Benjamin Kramer and Delegate Bonnie Cullison for championing this legislation for animals, and to our amazing supporters in Maryland who contacted their state legislators in support of the bill!

Yay!!! ❤️🐶❤️

@jeffsheehan I agree. It would’ve provided jobs too

@chichappens5 Interesting. It’s a shame they allowed the shipyard to close. They really need LNG tankers now.

@chichappens5 Christine, what street in Wollaston did your grandmother live on?

@jeffsheehan Well, there were a few who told him he was going to hell because he was Protestant 😂It was a different time. My great grandfather worked at the ship yard

@chichappens5 I doubt it. Everyone was quite respectful of one another. Please do look up Chowdar. He’s an amazing person and leader.

@jeffsheehan Well, being Protestant they may have teased him a bit 😂 I’ll look up that person you mentioned

@chichappens5 He probably knew a lot of the kids from my neighborhood that were his age. Sacred Heart. I used to walk to and from it almost all the time.

@jeffsheehan This is so funny! So many memories of Quincy and my family

@chichappens5 I graduated from NQHs in ‘71. My Sheehan ancestors were from Cork.

@jeffsheehan I should’ve been more specific. My great grandparents bought the house when they came here. They were the Deweys from County Cork. Then my grandmother and her sisters lived there. My father and his brother grew up there. My dad played baseball at that field How old are you?

@chichappens5 I grew up on Hovey Street in North Quincy. I played baseball and soccer at Montclair Field which was right near your grandparents house. Where in Ireland were they from?

@jeffsheehan She lived in the big house on the corner of Amesbury Street. Her parents bought it when they came here from Ireland. I think they were the only Protestants in the neighborhood 😂 Where did you live?

@jeffsheehan @KathleenWinche3 My grandmother lived near there! I grew up going to Wollaston Beach

@KathleenWinche3 I served a ton of Jimmies in my day during my first real job as a kid at Brigham’s in Wollaston.

Yes this is New England vocabulary! All true.

@gothburz THIS is what you’re concerned about? Not the fact that there was a shooting? You’re mad they took wine? Didn’t they pay for it? $350 per person $3500 for a table? Who cares? 🙄

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

@davidaxelrod @jimmykimmel Is Trump going to apologize to all of the reporters he’s said awful things to? It should start at the top. Melania is more mad at Kimmel? 🙄

I like @jimmykimmel. He's funny & courageous at a time when there has been too much cowardice. That said, this WAS a tasteless joke. The WH will use any issue to demand he be fired because his satire touches a nerve, and ABC is right to resist. But he'd be right to apologize.

@MeghanMcCain He’s hysterical! You know who spreads hate every day? Trump. Are you sick of him?

I am so deeply sick of Jimmy Kimmel and the hate he spreads in the world.

@nosugarallspite @zonaeagle @TeamFUKR @DoctorTurtleboy @wdennison There’s no doubt 😂

@chichappens5 @zonaeagle @TeamFUKR @DoctorTurtleboy @wdennison How many idiots in chat thought "we can raise that for him" I know someone had to have said it, they're actually that easily conned.

This retainer quote reflects how respected attorneys view @DoctorTurtleboy and his endless self-inflicted cases, not to mention his disgusting character! No reputable lawyer wants anything to do with this POS! Can you confirm this, Mr. Dennison @wdennison?
