Alabama’s homicide rate is more than double New York City’s. Remember that the next time Tommy Tuberville criticizes NYC’s “crime and migrants.”
A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

I’m sure Russia knows what we are going to do before the American people since they have so many people serving in the Trump admin sharing intel with them.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Dear @democrats.org, I still don't want to hear a single peep out of you about donations until you actually fight this admin.
Filing articles of impeachment would be a start. Not confirming his appointees would be a start.
For the record, I've been marking all of your fundraising texts as spam.

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

Rob Reiner's first seven films: 1. Spinal Tap. 2. The Sure Thing. 3. Stand By Me. 4. THE PRINCESS BRIDE. 5. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. 6. Misery 7. A Few Good Men. Good lord. Even Spielberg included 1941 in his first seven.
And that was after playing Michael Stivic. I hope this news isn't true. But...

Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

@danbernstein.bsky.social Holy hell, look at the Cubs and Sox both in the bottom 5, spending a small fraction of what they take in. Unreal.
The Red Sox are in the bottom 3rd in % of revenue spent on payroll. And they have the 4th highest revenue in the league.

![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:546hcfpi4agq772f6q6lbuch/bafkreifrgx2z46bjub34bz2cas5yzogd7jvj5pswllkpvjuybtn3gfc3ke@jpeg)

Don't overthink. Trump isn't going on a death-threat rant for some tactical purpose. It's because things aren't going well for him and when things don't go well he melts down like a toddler. It's bad that a president is doing this but it's because he's losing it. It's not part of a grand plan.
