@NikkiNic9384 Never a big enough lead in an elimination game.

Is the lead comfortable enough for you guys? #knicks

@Top100Rick In what world dos the lack of competition ever make anhthing netter?

Now that LIV is on its death bed, let’s talk about the worst take that LIV stans have: “But the players make more money now!” Who the F&@# cares? What kind of boot licking fan is watching sports and thinking “I’m sure glad these golfers can afford bigger yachts!” All LIV did was make pro golf financially unsustainable, make less money go to charity, and ensured less spots in events for the players. Nothing good came of LIV unless you are a top golfer or live in Adelaide.

@jamesetta_w Please tell us where the Democrats have left to gerrymander? The New England states are 40% Republican and they have exactly ZERO representation. Gerrymandering sucks, but to pretend that the Democrats do not do this, and to the extreme, is either foolish or a lie.

The gerrymandering saga only ends when Democrats retaliate so much that Republicans have an incentive to support a federal ban.

@ChrisMurphyCT It’s your fault. Change the tax code. Or STFU.

Our current economy is rigged. It just is. A new report shows that 88 of the largest companies in America, including: Amazon Citigroup Haliburton Kohl's Palantir PayPal PG&E Southwest Airlines Tesla United Airlines Disney paid ZERO corporate income tax last year.

@BullandBaird The real winners were the guys that stayed with the PGA and are playing for bigger purses and a larger split of professional golf revenue. They know what they owe Phil and LIV for making the PGA better.

Btw, the golfers who got paid by LIV are the ones who won. They’ll just go back to the PGA Tour and no one will care Meanwhile they cashed huge checks. Just massive Ws

@NikkiNic9384 @burackbobby_ AAA TripTik - am I dating myself?

@burackbobby_ Back to reading signs and asking the nearest gas station for directions. Depends where you are too. Even if you’re vaguely familiar with an area you’d be alright on you own just following signs.

How screwed would you be if you had to drive without access to a GPS?

@AnthonyDiComo Case in point, it maybe wasn’t Mendoza’s direct fault today due to an in-game decision. He is still the manger and is responsible for getting the most out of his team. Indisputable fact, it’s almost a full season at this point and his team is dramatically underperforming.

Case in point as to why this is not Carlos Mendoza's fault. Who, exactly, is he supposed to pitch in these spots? At some point, the players have to perform.

@DeltaAirllines1 why does your seat selection and seat map in both your app and website not work. Hasn’t been working for at least the past 24 hours.

@EricMGarcia No place left for Dems to gerrymander. Thats why they want a ban. How about we undo everything they’ve gerrymandered and then put a ban in place.

AOC says Democrats should respond to SCOTUS weakening the VRA by doing their own redistricting until a national gerrymander ban passes

@RepRashida What wha wha - I didntbhet my way. Wha wha wha. 😂😂😂

Term limits for the Supreme Court. Enforce a binding Code of Ethics. Impeach these corrupt justices. Expand the Court.

@dmweisberger @RobertKennedyJr How is any of this Kennedy’s fault? He’s been in his position for how long?

I just spent 2 incredible weeks in Italy and it is so frustrating to come back to the U.S… How is it possible @RobertKennedyJr that the Italian food supply is so vastly superior. I literally ate bread at every meal, dessert multiple times per day, and generally ate way more than I do in the U.S. Not once did I have acid reflux. Not one headache, no digestive problems, and I didn’t gain any weight. If I ate the same way in the U.S. (I used to at times) I would have gone through a full bottle of Tums and Advil just to get through the day… WHY does the U.S. allow glyphosate in wheat, high fructose corn syrup in food and who knows what in our milk products? The difference in quality of life in Italy vs the U.S. is staggering from their common sense (anti corporate) food regulation. WHY aren’t more people upset about this? The U.S. is the richest country in the world and we eat like one of the poorest.

@isaiahrmartin 55% of voters in California are NOT Democrats. But you want to make it 100% Democrat representation. Way to defend Democracy.

According to this new Supreme Court ruling, total blue states like Colorado can draw an 8-0 blue map, Illinois a 17-0 blue map, and California a 52-0 blue map. Time to respond accordingly to this new conservative threat and give Republicans exactly what they asked for.

@Madi39 If they don’t call it a goal on the ice, they can’t review. Similar to when they hand out 4-minute high sticking penaltiy. They do that so they can review it and reduce it to a 2-minute penalty if it isn’t warranted. If they call it a 2-minute penalty, they can’t review it.

It’s astonishing the amount of people who don’t realize the issue is that it shouldn’t of been called a goal on the ice lol

@mandaconda__ @SenSchumer This isn’t true. People are lying to you. They know they’re lying. They also know you’re too stupid to realize it.

@SenSchumer He’s in breach of the foreign emoluments clause on the ballroom private funding so they quickly pivoted to taxpayer funded to save his dumbass.

As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war, DHS is still not funded because the President’s own party is in total chaos.  Instead, Trump decides to focus on a $400 million, taxpayer funded, gold-plated ballroom.    This man’s values are perverse.

@SenSchumer Democrats in Congress have an 18% approval rating. Maybe clean up your own house.

@SenMarkKelly Imagine spending all that time to share just a few things, but you start with an incorrect premise that we live in a democracy.

I wanted to share a few things on my mind after the horrifying events at the White House Correspondents Dinner over this weekend. An attempt on the president’s life is an awful thing for our democracy. I’m thankful Secret Service and law enforcement responded as quickly as they did before this gunman made it any closer to the president, many of his cabinet members, the press corps, and everyone else in that room. Political violence is a growing problem in our country. It has led to violent acts against Americans and elected officials across the political spectrum. I refuse to accept that this is normal, or that we can’t do anything about it. We have serious disagreements as a country. Some of those disagreements are passionate and personal. For 250 years, we have solved those differences at the ballot box. It’s a big part of what’s great and unique about our form of government. That doesn’t mean we can’t be loud and clear when we think someone has a really bad idea, especially someone with power. That’s what a healthy democracy looks like. We all have the right to speak out about our government. We also all have a moral and patriotic obligation to condemn political violence, no matter if the target is President Donald Trump, State Legislator Melissa Hortman in Minnesota, Charlie Kirk, or anyone else. Here’s how we can turn this around. We talk to each other—in person, away from the social media algorithms that are designed to make us angry and divided. And that’s not just the job of elected officials. Frankly, Washington has a way of making this worse. These conversations start in our neighborhoods, in schools, and at the dinner table. The other thing that has stayed with me is hearing the stories from journalists who were in the room, lying on the ground, texting their loved ones, and fearing for their lives, not yet knowing that the attacker had been stopped. That same experience isn’t unfamiliar to a whole generation of Americans. Far too often, kids are the ones sending those texts to their parents as they hide on the ground in their classrooms during lockdowns because of report of an active shooter, or in the worst instances, a gunman down the hall from or in their classroom. I’ve talked to parents who lost their children to gun violence and will never fully recover, and to kids who are traumatized from losing their friends or witnessing something in a school hallway that I might have seen in war. I know something about that phone call that changes everything. I’ll never forget when my wife, Gabby’s, chief of staff called me on January 8th, 2011, to say Gabby had been shot in the head. That act of violence flipped our world upside down. A week ago, it was family members in Shreveport, Louisiana whose worlds were flipped upside down when eight children were murdered and two others were injured in a shocking act of domestic violence. This was the deadliest mass shooting since January 2024. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. The lax firearms laws that allow criminals, domestic abusers, and the dangerously mentally ill to get access to guns makes all of us less safe. It’s just wrong. I refuse to accept that this should be normal in America and can’t be changed. Since Gabby was shot, I’ve already seen change start to happen.  We know the steps we can take to strengthen gun laws while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. If we do that, and we reject the forces that are trying to divide us, everyone, from the president to our kids, will be safer. These are challenging times, but we’re up for the challenge if we all work on it together.

@callmeMaharani Another one with the victimhood.

Your landlord isn’t your friend. He’s a legal parasite living off your paycheck.

@micheller1939 @CalltoActivism The separation of church and state was specifically created to keep the state out of the church. It was created at a time of horrendous religious persecution by states around the world. Maybe study some history.

@CalltoActivism That’s a good start, but this country has gotten to the point of where it needs to expand the separation of church and state law, because of some of these extremist wanting to make laws based on religion.

This is literally how Democrats win. Pritzker’s Project 2029 would systematically erase Trump: Universal healthcare; Investing in social programs; holding criminal administration officials accountable; and restoring America’s standing in the world. Sign. Me. Up.

@CalltoActivism He can’t even stop his current constituents from killing each other.

@AdamKinzinger Dude’s been begging for money like he’s a window washer on 42nd and Broadway.

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe
