@CBSNews Is @CBSNews actually calling out the democrats?

An amendment that would require voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday, despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying last week that Democrats were not opposed to such a requirement. cbsn.ws/4t5rLbm

@Invjolt @JeffPassan Anything over 30-35 pitches in an inning is too much and not good for arm health. Best to protect this generational player.

@JeffPassan 37 pitches? Don Kelly's really treating Skenes like he’s made of fine porcelain and hopes and dreams

Paul Skenes is done. He recorded two outs. You have to think this was as much about not taking an extremely stressful inning and adding to it as anything. Skenes threw 37 pitches, and Pirates manager Don Kelly didn't want to tax him more. A stunning first for the Mets.

@hwinkler4real @JessicaTarlov We want the Fonz back

@JessicaTarlov Your strength of mind and personality is IMPRESSIVE .

@nytimes Bout time

Breaking News: Canada met its NATO military spending target for the first time in decades, spending 2% of its gross domestic product last year on its military, amid tensions with the U.S. nyti.ms/47XE5SR

@mattgaetz Just another intelligence fiasco that will go nowhere. Tired of talk and no action. No one ever pays a price or brought to justice. Same with Comer on the oversight committee.

A MIT professor taught the same lecture every January for 40 years, and every single time it was standing room only. I watched it at 2am and it completely rewired how I think about communication. His name was Patrick Winston. The lecture is called "How to Speak." His opening line hit like a truck: your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas in that order. Not your GPA. Not your pedigree. Not your IQ. How you speak is what separates people who get heard from people who get ignored. Here's the framework he drilled into MIT students for four decades. He said never start with a joke. Start by telling people exactly what they're going to learn. Prime the pump before you pour anything in. He called it the "empowerment promise" give people a reason to stay in their seats within the first 60 seconds. Then he broke down the 5S rule for making ideas stick: Symbol, Slogan, Surprise, Salient, and Story. Every idea worth remembering hits at least three of these. The part that floored me was his "near miss" technique. Don't just show what's right show what almost looks right but isn't. That contrast is when the brain actually locks something in permanently. His final rule before any big talk: end with a contribution, not a summary. Don't recap what you said. Tell people what you gave them that they didn't have before they walked in. I've used this framework in pitches, interviews, and presentations ever since watching it, and the results are not subtle. Patrick Winston passed away in 2019, but this lecture is still free on MIT OpenCourseWare. One hour, watched by millions, and it costs absolutely nothing. The most important class MIT ever put on the internet isn't about code or math. It's about how to make people actually listen to you.

@brithume @edhenry Yep just another leftwing rag

I stopped paying attention to The Economist years ago. This kind of stuff is why.

@mikepompeo Russia needs an off ramp

Your daily reminder that, after four years and an unfathomable waste of blood and treasure, Russia still isn't winning this war. Backing Ukraine isn't just the right thing to do - it's the prudent move.

@JMNewsNetwork_ Because they are weak?

🚨🇮🇷🇪🇸 BREAKING: Iran allows the Kingdom of Spain to use the Strait of Hormuz with complete freedom without restrictions or barriers that impede the maritime navigation of Spanish ships and tankers.

@ProjectLincoln No one trusts Rick Wilson. He may be the founder of TDS.

Noem and Lewandowski used the DHS as their personal piggy-bank, and they’ll spend long time answering for it. LP founder Rick Wilson illuminates their political futures on MSNOW:

@GeraldoRivera Or they are keeping the pressure on to get a deal done. You should understand this.

With 2500 troops from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit bearing down on Iran, now we see the very real possibility that a combat brigade from the Army’s storied 82nd Airborne Division will likely also be heading to Iran. Despite talks of peace, the conflict is still escalating.

@ChristopherHale What happened to good vs evil? Shouldn’t we stop a country from the pure evil of obtaining a nuclear bomb to threaten neighbors like North Korea does? Negotiating with these people does not work.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV just called for the permanent abolition of aerial bombing — a first for any pope. “Airplanes should always be vehicles of peace, never war. No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky.” The demand came as Trump’s war against Iran entered week four. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leo-xiv…

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

@Landrew72457463 @ElieJarrougeMD @__Kimberly1 What if you have high cholesterol’s? Stay on statin?

@ElieJarrougeMD @__Kimberly1 Post up a list of foods to eat. 220 lbs, 177 glucose, A1C 7.7, BP 160/85

A 54-year-old man comes to me on 3 diabetes medications and 2 blood pressure meds. Weight: 225 lbs Fasting glucose: 192 mg/dl A1C: 9.1 BP: 158/96 His doctor’s next step? Add insulin 💉 and one more BP med 💊. I had a different idea… 🧵

@mhmck What do you know? Having a phd from a London university does not make you knowledgeable about this.

Trump's dementia is worsening. In his diseased mind, talks took place between the USA and Iran. However, no discussions are happening, directly or through intermediaries. The war will end not when Iran surrenders but when Americans acknowledge Trump has surrendered his sanity.

@covie_93 Umm because ice agents are getting paid and not affected by the shutdown

Why pay ICE agents to do TSA workers job when they can just pay TSA workers???

Yep!

@JoJoFromJerz Your tweets are no better

Robert Mueller was a patriot. Donald Trump is a piece of shit.

@WalshFreedom Have you read your own tweets?

Donald Trump may well be the worst human being who’s ever lived. He’s certainly in the team photo. And this great, good, decent country put him in power again. Just shameful.👇
