@MagaKristine @NYCMayor This is the tweet equivalent to people refusing to let airline passengers who have connecting flights off the plane first. You are an asshole. No one is taking away rights but if everyone works together it avoids catastrophe. But you do you bro. #selfish

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can. Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment. A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

@RescueTex @BraddrofliT Do you understand the voter registration process? You don't just show up at the polls. You cannot register to vote unless US citizen. Showing ID is fine but requiring passport or two forms of ID is overkill and problematic.

@BraddrofliT Why are Dems so against voter id? There’s only 1 possible or reason - they want illegals to vote.

Let’s stop pretending this makes sense: if Democrats really had the power to rig the 2020 election, why the hell wouldn’t they use it again in 2024 to keep Trump out? The conspiracy falls apart the second you apply basic logic. Looking forward to MAGA comments.

@SofiaSici I am Gen X and so exhausted by this narrative. In my 20's worked long hard hours and still enjoyed life because I had the energy. My 30s, had money traveled all the time. Hit my 40s I was in complete cruise control, living my best life. Who sold this generation this BS?

Un miembro de la Generación Z se unió al equipo. Primera semana. Durante la incorporación, el gerente dijo: "A veces nos quedamos hasta tarde en horas punta". La Generación Z asintió. Luego preguntó:

@EricLDaugh Just to be clear, people are protesting the arrest of regular hard working immigrants. I am not sure why you think all immigrants are rapist and murderers. Oh now I remember, it's because your cult leader told you that. Fact: Not all immigrants are rapists and murderers.

🚨 FACT: If you make "F*CK ICE" signs for your children so they can ditch school and protest the arrest of illegal alien r*pists and m*rderers, you're a horrible parent.

@TheTNHoller @harryjsisson You are part of the problem. This isn't factual. The facts are damning enough. When you post incorrect info you just give people fuel to deny and argue. The reality of what happened is awful. Don't distract by elevating misinformation.

WATCH — @harryjsisson: “It says ‘NEW BRAZILIAN JUST ARRIVED. SEXY AND CUTE. 9 YEARS OLD…. Why is their name redacted?? Why haven’t they charged this person??” Insanity. Anyone downplaying this should be ashamed.

@billmaher Your take here is so narrow minded,which is fine, but you speak with such confidence it's disturbing. Diddy preyed on Cassie.This was not 2 people with equal control.This was not enthusiastic consent.He convinced her she needed him and she did all she could to keep him.

If we're going to have an honest conversation about abuse, we also have to have an honest conversation about what people are willing to do for stardom.

@ACTBrigitte It's embarrassing that everyone is villainizing these federal workers. They are being asked this question while their futures are at stake, their budgets to do their jobs are completely slashed and their spirits are crushed. This treatment is shameful an outrageous.

It's embarrassing federal employees are throwing temper tantrums about being asked what they do in a work week. Mr. Wonderful is 100% correct -- if you can't be bothered to answer an email, you don't deserve our money!

@oldhomedot @LubyLubes @RoKhanna This does not surprise me. My brother and nephew both received this letter and did not trust they would actually receive any money, not that they were interested in leaving their positions. Its ludicrous that anyone could defend this action.

@strongcurrent4 @LubyLubes @RoKhanna Saw a report people took the offer and haven’t seen any money.

I am hearing of hard working Americans who voted for Trump and now are being fired from their jobs with the Parks Service, with Veterans affairs, with USAID, with NIH etc. If you are a Trump voter who is being fired or has a family member being fired, please share your story.

@LubyLubes @oldhomedot @RoKhanna My nephew had just been promoted,in the fed govt when promoted it's considered a "new position", they are put on probation. All employees on probation were fired. No severance, no warning.He is young, no children,but others in same boat 10 years in agency, promoted are crushed.

@LubyLubes @oldhomedot @RoKhanna All federal employees were offered severance, every single person was offered this prior to massive layoffs. The people that were just fired do not get severance unless they took it when if was offered a few weeks ago. Many people did not know their jobs were on the line.

@TheSouthGAJohn @NC5PhilWilliams That the side which included White Supremest were fine people. It may be true, that some people marching side by side with White Supremest could possibly be fine people, but it would have been more appropriate to condemn that group of people.

@NC5PhilWilliams Here's a start 👇

LISTENING TIME: As a journalist who cares deeply about facts, I have struggled to understand why people did not view Donald Trump's constant lies to be repugnant. If you voted for him, how do you reconcile that issue with your vote? #HonestQuestion

@TheSouthGAJohn @NC5PhilWilliams A lot of these are actually true For example in Charlotte he really did say there were fine people on both sides. On one side there were a lot of White Supremest people, some chanting pretty antisemitic things. So he didn't White Supremest were fine people, but he did say

@Masculinity_ @EWErickson @JasonKelce haha, I am not that easily triggered so if you are just looking for a pen pal, I have to warn you I am not the best at staying in touch.

@strongcurrent4 @EWErickson @JasonKelce Nah. I read what’s written and you’ve made a professional sports player your hero. Your words, not mine.

To be clear, @JasonKelce is not the bad guy in the story and if you think he is, you’re part of the problem.

@Masculinity_ @EWErickson @JasonKelce I don't care what he does for a living, he stood up against someone just being a punk, thats what makes him a hero, but you already knew that was what I was saying.

@strongcurrent4 @EWErickson @JasonKelce You’ve made a professional sport player your hero? That’s what’s wrong with society.

@Masculinity_ @EWErickson @JasonKelce Or, we are tired of certain people getting away with this type of passive aggressive behavior and therefore Jason is our hero.

@EWErickson @JasonKelce The foolishness on this thread is insane. All because it’s Jason Kelce. These people protect his “honor” or some crap just because he played professional football.

@Houzzita @GladneySam @espn I am sure this guy started harassing Jason before this viral moment, I doubt he said one thing and Jason snapped. You can tell by his body language that Jason is agitated already.

@GladneySam @espn What about it is restrained? Omg the bar is literally 5 miles under the ground.

Hey @espn, do not make Jason Kelce apologize for smashing that kids phone. His response was justified, restrained, and appropriate.

@jone_crystal @GladneySam @espn I am assuming you are talking about the guy following Jason and saying inappropriate things. Also we just saw a short clip, my guess this incident began before this viral moment and Jason just had enough.

@G7096756248805 @eamondowney @yashar Settle down tiger, she is making a joke about a movie he was in.

At the Trump rally in Coachella, California, actor Dennis Quaid steps onto the stage and says: “I’m here to tell you that it’s time to pick a side….are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution or for TikTok?”

@YNB @lux_uptoo I actually think this is probably true. This interview was so broadly discussed, I am sure she was an easy target.

@BobSmith94123 @justindeanlee Since you said hate liberalism more than you love your family, which is absolutely nuts btw, then you could have simply responded if he voted D you couldn't care, not sure you needed to drag your family into this.

@justindeanlee All that matters is if you’ll ever vote D again in any election, any time, any place, any office If the answer is yes, then I couldn’t care less about your trauma because if you vote D, you’re wishing your experience on me or my family

I was struck in the face last night by a random black guy. He was out wilding on a Citi Bike, passing on the sidewalk near my apartment. Even open-handed, he struck with enough force to make me stagger. This was my first encounter with casual violence in two years of living in Manhattan. Friends have experienced it; my (female) housemate was even beaten up by a vagrant in our entryway. But I’m a large enough man that riffraff usually don’t find me an appealing target. Never in my life have I wanted to fight someone as bad as last night. But the coward sped away, cackling with his friend. It took me hours to fall asleep. I was too wired on adrenaline and anger. Then I felt a quiet interior nudge from the Spirit to pray for the guy. I did. The anger passed and I slept.
