Trump: "I alone could secure a prisoner release from Russia without giving anything in return" Trump literally ten minutes later: "Now you idiots know why I had to waive sanctions on Russia, no shot I got that prisoner release otherwise"

We have not seen a caravan headed to the U.S. southern border in several years, why now? Oh yeah, there is an election coming and the GOP needs to scare you into voting because nothing else is working.
Over 400 aliens predominantly from Honduras entered Mexico on Thursday, ready to make their way to the US southern border… Here’s footage of the caravan. Someone is incentivizing this movement, this is not organic.

You’re missing the point. I shouldn’t have to convince you to vote for the Republican. You should do that from loyalty, even though your favorite candidate lost in the primary. But you can’t do that because you’re not loyal. And that’s why we have contempt for you.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post insists voters owe loyalty to the Republican nominee, yet in August 2023 the same account stated that showing loyalty to a politician would be so humiliating he should be thrown off a bridge. x.com/KurtSchlichter…

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame mourns the passing of Bob Pettit, a sleek, skilled big man who revolutionized the forward position during his career. The 11-time NBA All-Star and 2-time MVP retired as the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and left an enduring legacy. He led the St. Louis Hawks to the 1958 NBA championship over the Boston Celtics. The Basketball Hall of Fame salutes this true giant of the game.

You're also a journalist who doesn't know what "ascribe" means, lol
Replying to @TaylorLorenz
I don't ascribe to any political group for this reason. I think it's extremely narrow minded to only engage w a tiny bubble of ppl and do cancel culture slop on anyone who steps out of your tiny little box. I have and always will engage with people across the political spectrum

I actually don’t get much Nazism on my fyp at all! It’s just tech news and interesting links. Same for other users I’ve spoken to. There’s a lot of crap on this app but the algorithm/product has improved over the past year undeniably. Nikita did an excellent job

The @MiamiHerald eliminated 30 positions today including excellent City of Miami beat reporter @tessriski & legend @kaufsports. The Miami Beach beat reporter was open but won’t be filled. Is the Miami Herald going to cover the City of Miami anymore? Local journalism matters.

The Pats were in unfamiliar territory there for a few minutes playing against a starting QB. Glad to see everything’s status quo.
