Flabbergasted at how absolutely useless this place in terms of getting breaking news. Twitter used to be incredibly helpful during the War in Ukraine, Afghanistan and other global events. Now it's AI Slop and non-chronological tweets.

It is a dark day for freedom of the press. Paramount’s decision to settle with Trump will only embolden him to continue his attack on the media.
Trump is undermining our democracy and moving us towards authoritarianism, and the billionaires are helping him do it.

@takingcharge once told me “if you don’t get swag, did you even go to SXSW?” And I carry that sage wisdom with me to this day

Donald Trump Jr. said America "misses" having Donald Trump president.
Retweet if you NEVER ONCE MISSED DONALD TRUMP!
Proving a point.

It’s 2:07pm and we surpassed the record for the first day of early voting, EVER in Harris County. When you open the doors of government, people come. To those trying to suppress the vote: Mess with Texas voters at your own peril.

Drive-through at my @Starbucks was long, so mobile ordered & popped in to pick up my drink. Per @GregAbbott_TX it's open to limited in-store customers. But a group of teenagers at back table didn't have masks. I got in & out fast, but sorry for those employees! #COVID19

TODAY >> I asked a Big Pharma CEO to justify why his company raised the price of a lifesaving cancer drug by over $500 *per pill* since it first hit the market. He couldn’t answer.
This same CEO made $13 MILLION in 2017— including a $500,000 bonus for this price hike.

I am LIVING for the drama in Spain. I can't wait for Ronaldo to play himself in the major motion picture based on this World Cup without realizing he's the villain.

Initiating trade disputes for the purpose of negotiating agreements is like starting a war so you can have a peace accord. There's no clear path toward resolving mounting disputes with China, the EU, Canada and Mexico. Let's also remember the State Dept is badly understaffed.
