@NdibeSamue86933 @patriottakes "Non-aligned during the Cold War" is the correct definition of third world. NATO = First World, Warsaw Pact = Second World

@patriottakes Melania was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia when it was part of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia wasn’t classified as ‘third world’ though - it was non-aligned during the Cold War.

Melania was born in Yugoslavia which was a third world country

I suspect this will all turn out to be the result of boomer GOP campaign consultants who are completely out of touch with the country re: how attitudes toward addiction have changed.
If they'd said he's in rehab from the jump, probably 97 out of 100 people would've reacted with some version of "same thing happened to my cousin a couple years back, best of luck to you/you can beat it." And they'd have made anyone criticizing him look like a dick.
Just a baffling approach to communications.

Happy 100-Days-Without-Tom-Kean Day, for all who celebrate!
Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be back to work soon, after he recovers from r̶e̶h̶a̶b̶ his unspecified illness.
Just like he said last month. And the month before that. And the month before that.

@DailyMail Those dresses are completely appropriate regardless but that is a crazy thing to say to/about a 45-year-old woman? Not even particularly close to being old enough that you'd think anyone would find it weird she wants to look hot

It is very important to me that Jack Schlossberg is so thoroughly humiliated in the NY-12 Democratic primary that he never runs for public office ever again.

@HaleyforMI Wow, Haley Stevens condemns the Normandy landings just a week after the 82nd D-Day anniversary. Highly disrespectful.
(Or could it be that what you're advocating for DOES matter?)

This isn't hard: Condemn violence without equivocation. The reported planned violence and intimidation at the University of Michigan is wrong. This is simple and any leader should be able to say so. The fact my opponent cannot bring himself to say that is concerning.

@kylegriffin1 "They couldn't believe how healthy I was. Healthiest person they've ever seen. They got 15 more specialists for the next cognitive test because they just couldn't believe it folks"
English
22 medical specialists assessed Trump as part of his latest checkup.
That figure is nearly double the number of specialists who assessed Trump for his past medical checkups as president.
It's also the most medical specialists to assess a president for a single visit — ever.

@neeratanden @davidgoldiner @mtmanjaro10 It's wild to be at least tangentially a political "professional" in 2026 and believe that swing voters exist as a meaningful part of the electorate

Can someone give me a GOOD reason why El Sayed is a bad candidate? Besides him being a Muslim. I am so confused.

@scott_kernen Platner, hong, el-sayed. Dems saw what happened to Rs in 2022 and said "I want some".

It does stretch the limits of credulity that someone working at the White House would assume that a USAF Lt. Col. had lacked education or opportunities.
Even if you accept the nonsense premise that Democrats don't understand the choice to serve, everyone knows that commissioned officers have at least a bachelor's degree.
English
I know these stories are just meant to try and score points but 36 hours ago @MarkWarner attended the commissioning ceremony for a young staffer in our office who is joining the Navy Reserve. This stuff is just nonsense.
Buzz Patterson@BuzzPatterson
When I was the Air Force Military Aide to Bill Clinton (and again, that was not a political appointee position, it was a military assignment), I served daily with very young staffers who were appointed because of their efforts in the campaign or who their parents were. I really enjoyed interacting with most of them. Bright kids from Ivy League school. But their naïveté and lack of experience showed. Dramatically. One day I was walking across the White House “campus,” the “18 acres,” and I encountered one of the young female staffers. We chatted for a bit, and she asked me, “So, why did you join the military? Were your career options limited or were you forced to by a judge?” I wanted to throat punch her, but I said, “No, ma’am, I volunteered.” She asked, “But why? Lack of education? No other options?” “No, ma’am, I volunteered. Really. Not only do I have a Bachelor’s but also an MBA.” She asked again, “Then why?” I shook my head and walked away. They simply can’t understand a higher calling. They are incapable of understanding that another human who would selflessly serve. Therein lies much of the Democrat vs. military disconnect. They’re missing the patriotism chip.

@NilesGApol Yes it is morally wrong to consider someone's ability to perform before making them one of the ~125 or so most powerful people in America. Go off king!

@TheMaineWonk Where does that say that the wealth was “transferred” from the working class? Was the working class super rich and the ruling class poor prior to this “transfer?”?
English
This is dorm room stuff
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
Hard work used to be enough. It's not anymore. In my lifetime, we have watched the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the ruling class in the history of this nation. They stole from us. And we're taking back what's ours.
English
@Indian_Bronson And even then, there was an enormous amount of hand-wringing from the older generations that we shouldn't get into a war against Germany because the youth of America in 1940 were all enormous pussies
The boomer take was alive long before the boomer
English
The men of the Greatest Generation were married, earlier, to enormously more chaste women, had great latitude to solve problems with earlier attainment of authority in their careers, and their war was an all-nation existential one against a definite enemy.
They had it easier.

@JoePostingg At least one person has been charged with perjury for changing their name with the specific intent to do something like this and deceive voters.
I assume that's very unlikely to be the case here though, otherwise Sullivan would already be shouting it from the rooftops

@cwjones89 @sociologyWV I thought criticism of Ambrose was rooted in accusations of plagiarism rather than accuracy. But a plagiarizer having other issues with the truth isn't hard to believe
English
@sociologyWV Hasn't there been significant criticism of the factual accuracy of Ambrose' accounts of the D-Day C-47 pilots?
English
A horrifying passage in Ambrose's Citizen Soldiers is about how a terrified pilot gave his jumpers the green light while screaming along at too little altitude for chutes to open, saving himself by sacrificing the jumpers, who hit with a sound like watermelons bursting.
