@ReubenR80027912 @Kasparov63 @grok is this real?

Truly incredible stuff here. This is such an egregious error for the A section of the NYT (not a typo, genuinely not knowing what NATO stands for) that it should lead every piece on the decline in journalism

@AAGDhillon You are, at best, lazy and wrong - not good qualities for a lawyer. There is no such chair for the president. Clearly, you’ve never set foot in that courtroom. Maybe pay a visit sometime.

There’s literally a chair set up at SCOTUS for our presidents to sit in for oral argument. Your separation of powers nonsense is more imitation pearl-clutching hauteur.

@Noahpinion I mean, it's a bad sales pitch, because it's a bad argument, because it's a bad idea.

.@SenatorSlotkin on Iran & Russia: "There's press reports that the Russians are helping target U.S. ships and aircraft… If Russia is helping to kill U.S. forces, we have crossed a Rubicon…We have to take decisive action on that, and instead, we're giving them breaks on oil."

Oh wow....Dario Amodei memo, per @theinformation: “We haven’t given dictator-style praise to Trump (while Sam has), we have supported AI regulation which is against their agenda, we’ve told the truth about a number of AI policy issues (like job displacement), and we’ve actually held our red lines with integrity rather than colluding with them to produce ‘safety theater’ for the benefit of employees .... theinformation.com/articles/anthr…

This lady ate a surface-to-air missile, sustained a 12-14 G rocket-propelled ejection, likely hit the ground at 15+ miles per hour… And then she popped up smiling at the locals who came to help her. Tell me again that women don’t belong in combat.

@SallyJenki I watched Alysa Liu’s performance 3 times… she was spectacular! And this moment was priceless 😂 Love her!

Amtrak Joe strikes again: Biden was in coach class this eve and “sat by random woman” before getting off at Wilmington, a someone on his train tells me. “He was picking up babies”

🇺🇸 THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN REVENGE STORY 🇺🇸 ​The script couldn't have written it better. In 1989, Arthur Liu fled China as a political refugee after the Tiananmen Square massacre. He came to America with nothing but a dream for a free life. ​Decades later, his daughter Alysa Liu became the face of Team USA. ​But the CCP didn’t forget. Before the 2022 Beijing Olympics, the FBI uncovered a "brazen" spying operation. The target? Alysa and her father. The Chinese government tried to: ​Stalk them on U.S. soil. ​Intimidate her into silence. ​Pressure her to turn her back on the country that gave her family refuge. ​The FBI had to give them 24/7 security just so she could compete. 🛡️ ​She faced the intimidation. She refused to be a pawn. She walked away from the sport for two years to find her soul again—and then she came back with a vengeance. ​TODAY, THE STORY IS COMPLETE. In a flawless performance to Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park,” Alysa Liu just did the impossible. ​🥇 OLYMPIC GOLD. 🥇 The first American woman to win individual gold in 24 years. ​She didn’t just skate for a medal. She skated for the freedom her father risked everything for. She didn’t just win for herself; she won for the flag that protected her family when the world felt small. ​This is what a Patriot looks like. 🇺🇸✨ ​#AlysaLiu #TeamUSA #OlympicGold #MilanoCortina2026 #AmericanDream #FigureSkating #USA #Inspiration

@TheAthletic @grok was Eileen Gu paid by the Chinese government to represent China at the Olympics?

Twenty-two-year-old Olympic freestyle skier Eileen Gu seems to always be at the center of the storm. Her divisive decision to represent China, her continued pursuit of history in the women’s freeski events, her exploding celebrity — has come at a cost. “Sometimes I feel like I’m carrying the weight of two countries on my shoulders,” Gu said. What remains undeniable is her athletic prowess: She is, already, the most accomplished women’s freeskier ever, with a record 20 World Cup wins, two Olympic golds and three silvers to her name. Gu has become bigger than skiing.

This wasn't allowed in public incase it offended anyone. So please don't retweet it. Thanks 🙏dutchbarn.com

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr. Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway. “He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

@NFL_Convo Hard pass (no pun intended).

Drake Maye on 20+ Yard throws this season: - 62 Attempts (9th) - 54.8 Comp % (2nd) - 9 Touchdowns (5th) - 1,050 Yards (3rd) - 98.6 Passer Rating (2nd) And Tyreek Hill leads the league in 20+ Yard plays since 2018 This could be a match made in heaven for both of them👀

I’ll never understand how America went from Barack Obama to Donald Trump. From dignity, empathy, and competence to grievance, cruelty, and chaos. It wasn’t an accident. It was backlash. Backlash to having a smart, principled, wildly popular Black president who proved this country could be better. And some people couldn’t stand it.

Astonishing. Four years into defending themselves from Putin’s brutal invasion, outmanned, outgunned, after suffering enormous losses and being abandoned by the US, Ukraine is still pushing back, now with a tactical counter offensive. In an age of growing nihilism, the Ukrainian people are showing the world the meaning of the ancient virtues: fortitude, patriotism, valour. Slava Ukraini!

Military officers, including retired military officers, should be court-martialed for plotting to overturn the results of an election, or participating in any effort to plan, simulate or encourage an insurrection or civil war against the United States. reuters.com/world/us/trump…

@lauriewhitwell @Ankaman616 @AndyMitten @ianirving_ Men of the podcast, slightly crazy question. Depending upon who is named the permanent manager, and I am rooting for Carrick personally, is there any scenario where you can imagine Marcus Rashford coming home to Manchester? Would he fit in a Carrick led United side?

🎧 Talk of the Devils 🎧 West Ham draw analysed: does Sesko’s wonder strike make him a starter; why slow play; 13-day gap for Carrick. Kassam Stadium catches strays from @AndyMitten @ianirving_ @Ankaman616 #MUFC AUDIO pod.fo/e/38da79 VIDEO youtu.be/dhQA4kx_Tpo

Amen.
