@HeathMayo But...."They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I'm not gonna tell you what that present is but it was very significant prize." 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

So were the rest of us. Thousands of troops headed to the region. Missiles still firing even as he claims we’ve destroyed them all. No clear rationale behind our proposals. This isn’t 4D chess or grand strategy. It’s stupid.

@MacFarlaneNews @MeidasTouch "Since God was a child"...another great line from Kennedy 🤣🤦‍♀️

NEW: @MeidasTouch asked Sen John Kennedy (R-LA) about an emerging compromise to reopen Dept of Homeland Security Kennedy says Trump is reconsidering .. and might support deal And yes… they’re still thinking of circumventing Democrats to push thru ICE funds later this year

@JakeSherman 🍊

It felt like Gerry McNamara was in college for 25 years. Anyway, a cool pick up for Cuse.

@ANNELAMOTT Politics and Prose is the absolute best! Wish I was going to be in town! Enjoy DC!

We are on a plane heading to DC for a couple of days. We’ll be doing an event Tuesday night for the great Politics and Prose at Sidwell. And I’ll be on Dana Bash’s Inside Politics (!!) sometime between12:00 and 1:00 ET. This shd definitely qualify as breaking news.

I pledged a paid subscription to MacFarlane News Absolutely well worth it! Scott is the best!! macfarlanenews.substack.com/?utm_medium=em…

@samstein 🧡🍊

watched this live, all the way through. was numb when it ended. Side note: it launched jonny flynn up the draft board. he ended up going 6th. Two picks later the Warriors took some guy named Steph Curry.

@MacFarlaneNews We love you Scott...you are a cherished part of our family 🧡💙

UPDATE: i just shared this note with my colleagues: "To my incredible colleagues at CBS: I want to personally let you know that my work will soon no longer appear on CBS News. This is my decision, and I appreciate the bosses at CBS for understanding it. I will always value the opportunity I had to work alongside the talented and committed professionals here. I'm proud to have had the words 'CBS correspondent' next to my name - always will be. For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals. I thank you all. The work will not stop, and I'll always be a call away"

@BenjaminSRaven Chris is a great guy! And Josh is very loyal to his Lions! Let us know if you're in Syracuse sometime!!

@dobecall I absolutely love to hear that about the Chris connection. And thank you!

neat

@bresreports Me too 💙

🙏 for USCP every day

@Acyn I just cannot fathom how Abby holds it together every night....

Phillip: There's an argument to be made that red state voters, women, poor white voters could be just as— Jennings: You think they're dumb too, don't you? Phillip: Hold on, most Americans don't have a passport. Many Americans don't have access to their birth certificate. Why don’t you actually respond to the substance of what I am saying? Jennings: I am. You’re saying people are too stupid to figure out how to vote Phillip: Excuse me?

@kendallbaker Yup...Lady Gaga just recorded that! 🎵 Retiring potato farmer was sweet too.... (Girl Dad 🩷🙂)

Best commercial so far

Mike Tirico is a North Star for generations of us broadcasters The GOAT

@JimVandeHei @JakeSherman @washingtonpost @DylanByers @maxwelltani @BenMullin And bring Scott MacFarlane on board too!

My breakfast crack at it…You’re on the clock… Mission: Restore @washingtonpost to its glory  • 2 reporters on every federal agency, small WH team w/ 3 top-tier reporters and governmentwide specialists in federal rule-making and contracting and spending • Entice Post stars who left to return as service to their city, profession and nation.  They talk a big game on X - call their bluff!  • Two reporters on each of top local biz sectors: defense, tech, HC, lobbying & influence, etc.  • Buy @PunchbowlNews to anchor Hill. Make @apalmerdc CEO and you head of Hill + Sports + smack-talking • Bonus thought: buy @theinformation and make @Jessicalessin EIC.  DC and Silicon Valley are essentially merging.  • Poach @peterbakernyt as DC news chief… • Work w philanthropists or @propublica to fund investigative public trust w stories made available to other outlets upon publication. Team w Post staff reporters on most consequential projects.  Ask @PostBaron and @realBobWoodward unit and train a new generation of diggers and grinders… • Reporters in top dozen global capitals covering interplay w US/DC - make @IgnatiusPost central to this  • Fortify War unit  • 2 reporters on each of the pro sports teams w daily newsletter by team. Lure @SallyJenki back for sweep… • Go hyper local w local w coverage by parts of city, DMV or neighborhood (other than DC govt) • Sunday print only or preferably none at all. AI-first for all operations beyond reporting, editing, sales, leadership.  • Scrap opinion: city has enough noise. • Two tier pricing: current lowest price for consumer and $1000+ for insider coverage produced by above team that’s not of broad citywide interest.  • Set up as future profit share for all employees to be incentivize w shared business mindset and goal of permanent durability.  • First step last: sell it to someone who will do this… then declare war on @Politico to retake what we took and make peace w/ inevitability and distinctiveness of @Axios… what say you fella?

Still baffled: why would a disinterested, disengaged, distracted @washingtonpost owner hire a seemingly disinterested, disengaged, distracted CEO, suffer perpetual criticism and $ loss?  Lots of rich people would buy it, and even more execs would gladly run it.  Show me a single entity anywhere at anytime doing anything that worked without strong, engaged leadership. Kinda matters. I bet @dongrahamdc1 or Kara Swisher would pull together a group to take it over. Bloomberg could easily swoop it up himself. Just sell it.

@MacFarlaneNews 🤦‍♀️

Weeks ago, I asked the Kennedy Center management team: How much did the new Trump signage cost? They issued a statement lauding Trump. But they have yet to answer the question

@AlexanderTabet Alex....you are doing amazing work in Minneapolis! Absolutely indispensable!!!

📍Minneapolis, MN Minnesotans unfurl a sign that reads “how many more will ICE murder?” outside the site where Alex Pretti was shot and killed by border patrol agents on Saturday morning

Fetterman says he would like to engage in a debate on reforming ICE but says he will never support a government shutdown.

@Acyn Not a win...2 people died 💔

Ingraham: As we learn that DHS is pulling back some agents… the numbers were probably not sustainable—maybe not even wise. But of course the radicals are going to declare victory. If they think they won here, they are mistaken.

@CarolLeonnig Noem is scheduled for March 3....5 weeks away!?!?! 🤦‍♀️

More Republicans signaling -- this shooting cannot go unanswered

Aged poorly.
