@ABC So in other words she’s throwing it away. On the bright side some people will live well cashing her checks.

Melinda French Gates will expand her giving to improve women’s health globally, pledging another $215 million to support contraceptive access and maternal care, as well as initiatives aimed at middle-aged women, including further study of menopause. abcnews.link/C27bP7t

@AKABrewersBeat Color and centering is better on the new slab cards. The old one fell under the more lax centering standard.

Something that I’ve been noticing more … old slabbed 10s are going for less than new ones. Here’s a 1988 Topps Nolan Ryan. The newer slab sold for nearly double. I think in the true rare cards it won’t matter as much, but in the junk wax era it could be an issue.

@storyofthegoats @AKABrewersBeat With vintage you need to buy the card and not the grade. I have some old slab cards that are solid for the grade and only 1 that probably would be downgraded a grade if graded today. I actually have one 7 that is potentially a 7.5 but that’s not worth sending in to me.

@AKABrewersBeat I don't talk much about this because I don't like to disparage other people's collections but I hate the old vintage slabs so much. They represent a lower standard of grading imo

@AccentsSouthern A

How American Are You?

@SenMcConnell Mitch are you in there? Earth to Turtle.

I’m grateful for President Trump’s announcement today that provides significant federal funding for the coal industry in Kentucky. The President’s continued support of coal is a welcome contrast from the Obama-Biden years, when the federal government actively undermined the livelihood of thousands of miners and industry professionals. Those days are no longer. People across the country still depend on coal-fired power for reliable and affordable energy, and it still helps keep the lights on in Kentucky. Support for coal is critical to our nation’s security and the economic well-being of everyday Americans.

@BDeMayo @WhiteHouse @POTUS @SecretaryBurgum @Interior TDS is real.

@WhiteHouse @POTUS @SecretaryBurgum @Interior Lmao it looks like shit. Good job wasting 13 million, dumbasses.

The water is ON, the Reflecting Pool is reflecting, and D.C. is looking better than ever. We are so back. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP. 🇺🇸

@RepBenWaxman You taking or giving?

I'm honored to represent Philadelphia’s Gayborhood, a nationally recognized hub of LGBTQ+ culture, history, and resilience. This month, we honor that history and celebrate the individuals who make our city stronger. To help kick off Pride Month, the city of Philadelphia will host a Pride Flag-Raising Ceremony on Friday at 12pm at City Hall's North Apron. Feel free to stop by, show support for our LGBTQ+ community, and take part in celebrating Pride together.

@usanewshq NBA doesn’t exist in my world, so no worries.

How does it make you feel knowing all these “privileged” celebrities get the best seats at the NBA Finals for free, while real fans are being overcharged?

@MeghanMcCain @60Minutes Your dad died a bitter Democrat, so it was fitting Leslie Stahl was selected.

I want to say something about @60Minutes since so many conservatives are trashing it. When my Dad was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma and we were trying to decide who he and my mother should sit down with and talk about the end days of his life - we ultimately landed on Leslie Stahl and @60Minutes. Leslie came to our ranch in Sedona and sat down and profiled both my parents together for an exclusive sit down. We ultimately chose Leslie because of her prestige as a journalist and respected history of the show. Leslie and her crew were simultaneously professional and respectful of the delicate emotional state my entire family was in. She was in our secluded home as we all grappled with the concept that my dad was dying and fast from a rare cancer in front of the entire world. She and her producers did a wonderful job. Feel free to watch it, it’s beautifully done. This is not a situation just any person without experience can airdrop and handle the dynamics of. This is not something a rookie commentator or podcaster could have maneuvered with the respect needed. Experience does matter. Not all legacy media is garbage nor are all reporters. This “throw all the bastards out” mentality is obnoxious and just going to breed more insanity and distrust on both sides. I don’t want woke journalism. I don’t want anitwoke journalism. I just want great journalism. Be careful what you wish for conservatives, - there could come a day when Rachel Maddow is put in charge instead of Bari Weiss and then tell me how you feel. The pendulum swings both ways.

@SenatorSlotkin So that’s why you’re so screwed up.

Happy Pride Month! This month is important for many reasons but for me, it’s impossible not to think about my mom. She came out in the 1980’s — though I’m not sure she would have called it coming out, since we hid it from most people in suburban Detroit at that time. She passed away before gay marriage was legal across the country. I was interviewed about her last year — see below. I know she would be so proud of the progress that’s been made since her time. But I also know she’d be dismayed by some of the backsliding that’s gone on, and would want us to keep on fighting. So this Pride Month, that’s the mission — on behalf of those who fought in a very different time, and for those who are just starting out in life. lgbtqnation.com/2025/05/sen-el…

@8NewsNow That’s gay.

A special ceremony scheduled June 4 at 9 a.m. will illuminate the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign in the colors of the rainbow. #8NN 8newsnow.com/news/local-new…

@680TheFan @buckbelue8 Give them Murphy.

BUCK BELUE: THE BRAVES SHOULD GO ALL-IN FOR TARIK SKUBAL Would you trade Cam Caminiti and JR Ritchie for Tarik Skubal? 👇

@USATODAY Outstanding. Let’s go!

Several GOP-led states designate June as "Nuclear Family Month," drawing criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates celebrating Pride Month. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

@TheCalvinCooli1 Shocking.

🚨New: Texas “Republican” Senator John Cornyn now says renaming a highway for President Trump is no longer a priority of his

@AP Correction: Halfrican president.

The Obama Presidential Center opens to the general public on Juneteenth after a celebratory dedication in Chicago with dignitaries. The roughly $850 million project covers both the political and personal realms of the nation’s first Black president.

@daltine_cracker We’ll give them Murphy.

Not gonna happen. The Braves aren't trading the farm for a rental

@GovDanMcKee Did you butt fuck anyone?

Pride Month is officially underway in Rhode Island. 🏳️‍🌈 I was proud to sign a proclamation celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and kicking off a month full of pride, visibility, and celebration across the Ocean State.

@RepThomasMassie Box up your stuff and see your way out.

The Iran War Powers Resolution that I cosponsored (opposing the war) just passed the House of Representatives. The People’s House is sending a message: end this war.

@GovLauraKelly He looks retarded and gay.

I’ve proclaimed today as Gilbert Baker Day in Kansas. Chanute native Gilbert Baker designed the original rainbow pride flag in 1977, which is now proudly flown around the world as a symbol of support for the LGBTQ+ community.

@RepSuhas Great, some Jeet celebrating gayness.

This month, we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and remember the trailblazers who demanded equality and paved the way for future generations. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈
