BREAKING: Donald Trump gets crushing surprise news as four prominent ex-MAGA Republican women join forces to campaign against him in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania. This has MAGA world fuming... Liz Cheney and former Trump aides, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews are determined to crush him. They'll hold a fireside chat in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, next week. A source told CNN that the four women will "offer a warning about the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy and the rule of law." They'll also stress "the need for independents, moderates, and Republicans to stop him from getting back in office." The event will almost certainly be the first of many that the four Republicans will hold in battleground states. Please retweet and ❤️ to thank these women for putting country over party — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets slammed with terrible news as the estate of soul music legend Isaac Hayes moves forward with their massive lawsuit against him for using a song co-written by Hayes. This is the last thing Trump can afford right now... "The Federal Court has granted our request for an Emergency Hearing to secure injunctive relief," wrote Hayes' son Isaac Hayes III on X. According to Hayes III, Trump will have to personally appear in court in September, not long before the election. The $3 million lawsuit was filed earlier this month in response to Trump's illegal use of the song "Hold On, I’m Coming" over 134 times. Before the lawsuit was filed, the Trump campaign was told to stop using the song — but they refused. In what can only be described as a sign of profound disrespect, Trump then used the song at a Montana rally on the anniversary of Isaac Hayes' death. "Donald Trump represents the worst in integrity and class with his disrespect and sexual abuse of Women and racist rhetoric. We will now deal with this very swiftly," Hayes III wrote on X at the time. This lawsuit should be a slam dunk. Trump deserves to be taken to cleaners for this illegal exploitation of Hayes' music. It's time for him to pay up.

A must-watch sermon from Texas Congressman @jamestalarico. Send this to every Christian you know.

Carl Karush is a Downeast Maine seaweed farmer (and jack of other trades) and also a songwriter who is fed up with Trump's hold on some otherwise reasonable people. He wrote this song hoping to peel away a few votes, asked me to record him, and gave me the okay to post. Lyrics below. 1/

@TheCosmiChemist @EGFRResisters So very sorry

It is with a heavy heart and profound emotion that I announce the passing of my beloved spouse, Reika Yokochi, who left us at the age of 48 after a courageous battle with EGFR-positive lung cancer @EGFRResisters, a disease that disproportionately affects non-smoking Asian women. Reika was an extraordinary companion, a devoted mother, and a renowned scientist. Besides her remarkable scientific career, Reika was a talented musician, a passion she lovingly passed on to our children. Saori, now 14, and Kensei, 9, have become dedicated violinists. Her spirit continues to illuminate my life and that of our children, who remain the guardians of her love and wisdom. In the field of Earth and planetary sciences, Reika made her mark with her ability to solve complex problems with creativity and rigor. She advanced our understanding of the origin of Earth's volatiles by identifying the presence of rare gases of solar origin in the deep mantle. Her experimental research into the trapping of gases in cometary ice has opened new avenues for understanding the formation and evolution of our solar system. Additionally, by studying the pathways of groundwater, she discovered that certain water reserves beneath the Negev desert were over 361,000 years old, thereby revealing unprecedented aspects of the Earth's hydrological cycle. Her departure leaves a huge void in the scientific community. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reika_Yok…

@BruceTourNews Condolences to your family

Rest in Peace Adele Springsteen ❤️

@ms__pauline May her soul rest in peace. Condolences to you and her loved ones.

And do me a favour: Keeping posting silly things on here—she'd love that—and keep her in your thoughts.

Hi everyone, this is Pauline's son, bringing some upsetting news. After an 18-month battle with ALS, my mom passed away yesterday afternoon. She fought hard for a long time, but ALS is a brutal neurological condition that she simply could no longer fight.

@JohnStamos So very sorry for your loss.

Today, I lost more than a friend; I lost a part of my soul, my history - Jeffrey Foskett, my dearest friend, brother, and the brightest light in my life, has left this world. This morning, when I got the news, uncontrollable tears streamed down my face, a physical manifestation of the heartache within. My son Billy heard my cries, joined my wife in holding me up, and then ran off, only to return with a small, tender offering – a drawing. His innocent hands sketched a picture of Jeff with hearts ascending to heaven, with me, waving goodbye. A stairway of hearts, and next to the top heart, he wrote God. A simple yet powerful symbol of love and loss that pierced through my grief. Jeff was more than just a friend; he was the one who brought the harmonies of The Beach Boys into my life, and with them, a spectrum of color and joy I never dreamed would be part of my life. He was a vibrant force, a radiant soul whose laughter and wisdom touched everyone he met. He was an older brother in spirit, guiding, lifting, and loving me, sometimes more than I thought I deserved. Jeff taught me that love is a beautiful and necessary part of our lives, but it comes with a cost—the unbearable pain of loss. It's the kind of pain that can make us question whether we should ever allow ourselves to love so deeply, so completely. Should we keep our walls up and shield our hearts from the world in an attempt to avoid the sharp, immense sorrow that follows when we say goodbye to someone we hold dear? But then, as I reflect on Jeff's remarkable life and the profound impact he had on mine, I realize that this pain is the price we pay for the privilege of knowing and loving someone like him. Yes, the pain is excruciating and cuts deep into our souls, but it is a testament to the depth of our connection. Yet, when I think of the 40 years we shared – the uproarious laughter, the music that we believed changed lives, and the unshakable bond of brotherhood – I can't help but feel grateful. Grateful for every moment, every note, every piece of wisdom he shared with me. Jeff was larger than life. His talent, his laughter, his ability to make everyone feel seen and heard – these are gifts that he gave freely and generously. He filled every room with his presence, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he encountered. Now, as I hold my son and try to explain the unexplainable, I am reminded of the fragility and beauty of life. Billy's drawing, a heartfelt depiction of Jeff's journey to a peaceful afterlife, is a poignant reminder that love, in all its forms, transcends the physical world. Jeff, saying farewell is a task I am not ready for. You have left an indelible mark on my heart, but the legacy of your love and laughter will continue to resonate within all of us. So, as I say goodbye to my dear friend, I choose to remember not only the ache of his absence but also the brilliance of his presence. Rest in peace, my brother. You were loved immeasurably and will be missed beyond words. XO, JOHNNY

@dawnmarie66 So sorry

@GaGaSisterhood My grandmother saved EVERYTHING! My mom does, too. I am not quite as frugal!

@svizzerams @LingZhiTweet @AngieMaxwell1 @GiGiPersists I am a retired teacher and can attest to that.

@LingZhiTweet @AngieMaxwell1 @GiGiPersists There is trauma in the active shooter drills...each & every time they have to practice one......

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

@joe_nca @MergyMeg @AngieMaxwell1 @MaxFlugrath Republicans are failing our society, yet we continue to elect these clowns. People need to vote them out. I live in a gerrymandered district so I know how difficult it is.

@MergyMeg @AngieMaxwell1 @MaxFlugrath We're raising kids how to deal with gun violence rather than having society deal with gun violence.

@504spyboy @AngieMaxwell1 Agree. The 2nd is so misinterpreted.

@AngieMaxwell1 We need aggressive gun control in this country. The Constitution provides no individual right to possess a firearm that isn't intended for use in a militia regulated by Congress, and commanded by the president for national defense.

@rehgator @AngieMaxwell1 To do what? Add to the trauma and chaos? You are part of the problem.

@AngieMaxwell1 Reaffirms the necessity for being able to carry a firearm.

@AdamKinzinger She is not a hero. Worse than sick.

This is sick

So very sorry for the loss of the Engel’s son, Henry.

@RichardEngel I am so, so sorry.

Our beloved son Henry passed away.  He had the softest blue eyes, an easy smile and a contagious giggle.  We always surrounded him with love and he returned it, and so much more.  Mary and Richard. texaschildrens.site/duncan-nri/hen…

@GaGaSisterhood Yes!

And loving it!
