If we are going to reform the Post Office, how about starting with simple steps--like residential deliveries less than 6 days a week? My garbage gets picked up twice a week--I can live with mail the same.

When are Congress or the Courts going to step up and stop this nonsense?

Am missing The Principles First convention this weekend. Have been a couple of times and delighted in meeting smart, conservative, non-crazy people from around the country. @walshfreedom.bsky.social, @heathmayo.bsky.social my thoughts w you today. Keep fighting!

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

It's one thing to cut staff to try to balance the budget. It's another thing for the richest man in the country to gloat about it, to celebrate it. All these people did was apply for a job Congress created. They didn't storm the Capital. But maybe they would have been better off if they did.

U.S. Senators: If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. takes over the Department of Health and Human Services, people will die who could have lived. If you vote today to confirm him, their deaths will be on your hands. slate.com/technology/2...

Dems now looking to use the budget shutdown as a weapon to try to stop some of Trump's march to dictatorship. The problem? Trump and Musk don't care. Shut it down? That's what they are looking to do anyway.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

There is a special place in hell for someone who would cyber-attack a blood donation center. With all the craziness coming out of Washington, the least crazy idea would be to send out international hit teams to kill these animals. longisland.news12.com/ny-blood-cen...

Glad to hear it, though 10 years seems pretty long. When we were there, the crowd just kind of mosh pits together & jostles to see it from fair distance. Hope they do like the Brits do with the Crown Jewels: a moving sidewalk so all get a decent amount of time to see with no one in front of them.

It's almost like he didn't tell the truth.

The anti-vaxxers and MAGA nuts are going to kill people. Somebody tell them, in case they forgot already, that disease travels in this interconnected world. Does WHO need reforming? I'm sure it does. But withdrawing and not letting scientists share information. Americans will die.

There was a time, not too long ago, you would readily believe it if I told you 9, 10, and 11 were battling relegation and 13, 14, 15, and 16 were at the top of the table. Strange year. But a good one for us! COYW @fulhamfc.com

Only the @nyjets.bsky.social do dumb stuff like this. Every successful team hires the GM who hires the Head Coach. That tandem has to be on the same page. Yet once again, Woody does it ass backwards. Same old J E T S JETS Jets jets...

Planning my entire day around @fulhamfc.com v. Man U. First game I ever watched was a Sunday match v. Man U. Thrilling game. Brede Hangeland with an own goal; Back-up keeper David Stockdale with a penalty save; Brede redeems with a header in the last minute. 2-2 draw and I was fulham til I die.

We're going to see a lot of stupid things the next 4 years, but freezing foreign aid is going to be high among the dumbest. Only idiots think foreign aid is not helpful to us. The many benefits we derive have been well documented, but they are nuanced, hence beyond the grasp of the MAGA moron.

This is how much of a state's operating budget is paid for by federal aid. In other words, welfare states: 1. DC 32.2% 2. MT 31.8% 3. NM 30.7% 4. KY 30.1% 5. LA 29.8% 6. AK 29.0% 7. WY 28.9% 8. AZ 28.5% 9. WV 27.0% 10. AL 26.7% usafacts.org/answers/how-...

As a New Yorker, I say: shut it down. I'm tired of paying for the welfare states who then, in turn, criticize those of us who are paying for them. We can take care of ourselves. So can California. As an American, I say: Sweet Jesus is this man an idiot.

In retrospect, I'm OK with making Canada our 51st State as long as we also get to use their anthem. O 'Merica! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all of us command.

The snowflakes that just moved the inauguration indoors should check the average temperature in Greenland and maybe swap it out for an invasion of Jamaica.

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning. John F. Kennedy still had his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol.

When it is all said and done, history will note that it was Merrick Garland's incompetence which was the precipitating factor in Trump 2.0. Charges should have been brought and prosecuted in 2021/22--not jerked around until the election year. Trump should be in the Big House, not the White House.

Anyone looking to ban a book from a school should have to prove they read it by presenting a book report to the school committee.
