Yesterday, I was disappointed in the look of Oakmont. ⛳ It had no water. Very few trees. A ton of bunkers but weirdly patchwork- looking fairways. I was not impressed. Today this course is nipping at every player's ankles. It's got subtle dangers. Cool to watch. US Open.

When I'm watching golf and the microphones pick up chatter between the player and the caddy, I'm always judging the player. Are they being nice to the caddy or are they being prima donnas? Are they listening to them or insulting them? And I know that's not fair because we don't hear enough. 🫤

It bears constant repeating. We HAD a deal with Iran and Trump destroyed it out of: 1. sheer ignorance 2. Obeisance to Netanyahu 3. His inferiority complex to Obama. aje.io/393eju

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. This combo of day and date is a commemoration of religious massacres. Rather than worrying about black cats and ladders, perhaps it's an opportunity to recognize and defend against the damaging efforts of MAGA religious zealots like the Speaker of the House.

PSA for summer. 🥵 Humidity becomes uncomfortable when it exceeds 60%, making the air feel heavy and sticky. A humidity level of 50% is generally considered the upper limit for comfortable indoor air. Lower humidity levels (below 30%) can also cause discomfort due to dryness and static electricity.

BESSENT: We are trying to bend the curve on medical cost. And I believe that the medical expenses are out of control. TINA SMITH: But you're not controlling medical expenses by taking insurance away from people. You're just shifting the cost to hospitals and individuals and uncompensated care.

Just want to raise the point that Secretary Noem certainly knows that Alex Padilla is a U.S. senator. She could have easily instructed security to knock it off. (Also did the Secret Service not know he was a Senator, either??)

I don't regret today's milkshake. 🥤 It was cold, sweet and reminded me of the homemade ones Nanny (grandmother) used to make. I plan to have more this summer. Life's too short to forego a precious treat when MAGA is trying to subjugate and kill us with destroyed healthcare and dirty air and water.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Yes!!! As leader of the Senate, he should stand up for a sitting senator being criminally assaulted by the executive branch.

Re what Noem’s goons just did to US Sen Padilla: Per usual Sen Murphy nails it. “If this is how a US Senator can be treated than none of us are immune” “…this is a test 4 the US Senate as well” This is a pivotal moment. Power has it’s limits. THE KRASNOV ADMIN HAS CROSSED A DEEP RED LINE.

Kristi Noem and her Brown Shirts need to have a think. No one asking a question at a presser should be tackled and HANDCUFFED, let alone a US Senator. Having overreacted, a cabinet secretary should APOLOGIZE for that behavior. 😡 Sen. Majority Leader Thune should demand it. Bravo, Sen. Padilla. 🇺🇸
