CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Love a good Greg Louganis reference

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

"President Donald Trump knowingly hired a 'big time drug addict' and gave him free reign over personal data of millions of Americans"- the headline if we lived in normal times

The whole thing is obviously nuts, but don't overlook how wild it is to end a tweet* with "Thank you for your attention to this matter!" *or whatever the proper lingo is for whatever site this comes from

I can't top this one.

I do not recommend it, but "dropping out" seems to have paid off for my son Sam. I'm incredibly proud of him. Here's a review of his comedy game show "Game Changer," which you can watch on his streaming platform Dropout.  https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/arts/television/game-changer-dropout.html

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

I relish every time you get to see Olympians race normal people who you can see what world class athleticism looks like on a relatable scale

Another one! This is St. Pierre et Miquelon. Population: 5819. It now has one of the world’s highest tariffs - 99%. The US imported only $3.5M of its shellfish last yr. BUT the island imports ZERO from the US. So, the idiotic White House formula (imports v exports) couldn’t cope. It spat out 99%.

Thank you Cory. Keep going! 👏🏼

:: BREAKING NOW: Multiple polling places across Milwaukee are running low or have run out of ballots as turnout is at record levels. MKE Election Commission is aware and sending out fresh ballots. If you are in line -- or know someone who is -- ballots are on the way.

Dear Secretary Rubio, Hi, Tufts professor here. As someone who was on campus during the time in question, your claims about what Rumeysa Ozturk did bear no resemblance to reality. So did you just revoke her visa because she co-authored an anodyne op-ed that never mentioned Hamas? Sincerely, DWD

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

ok i'm pritzker-pilled

I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.

NO. It would be illegal. The Department was created by Congress. He can’t close it unilaterally. Speak plainly.

Trump economy watch

I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

Seems like Hegseth's Stand Down Our Defenses Against Russia order should be getting a bit more attention.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Friendly reminder: The world feels like it’s on fire. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed, but your energy is best spent on what you can control. Clenching every muscle in your body won’t fix anything so take a deep breath, unclench your jaw, and let yourself relax a little 💕

If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.
