I've been meaning to put together a highlight reel for my pinned tweet like a high school football player who wants to keep doing sports as a grownup, or whatever. So here it is. xitter.cf/EliMcCann/status/12899…
For my second date with my husband we met in NYC and went to a party and ended up at a McDonald's at 3:00 AM where he reached across the table, grabbed my hands, looked at me adoringly, and said "I hate this. I wanted to go to bed at 9:00. Do not expect this of me again."

Jared Krusher committed outrageous levels of treasonous corruption. Don’t let the story die.

I had an incredible weekend in Wisconsin at 4 events for my novel, Stitched, which has continued to be a national best seller since its release last month. This has truly been a surreal time for me and I'm so grateful.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

The American president thinks this is "fine"
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Russia killed a one year old girl in her stroller today. Her mother died in the hospital a few hours later.
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power. kyivindependent.com/what-russias-d… kyivindependent.com/russian-drone-… kyivindependent.com/russia-strikes…

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

What horrifyingly diabolic symbolism: today, Russia killed a one-year-old child and a 100-year-old woman in Ukraine. Absolute, pure, all-consuming evil.

Burn in hell, Trump.
This is a baby killed in a baby stroller by russian monsters in broad daylight‼️ Russia struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, with a jet-powered drone while it was packed with people and families. They killed at least 3, a baby and two women, and injured at least 14 more.

Never forget that this incredibly evil vice president decided to carry water for Vladimir Putin. Do not let this man spend a day of his life after this nightmare is over getting away with what he has done.

I mean it. I don't want JD Vance to have one moment of peace for the rest of his life. I want everyone who has ever excused him to live a life of absolute misery.

The fact that Mike Johnson is intentionally keeping congress from convening while the president commits blatant treason with Russia, is also blatantly treasonous.

There isn’t a single decent person in this administration. Not one. They are a black hole of empty souls. A disgrace to this nation. And that’s all I’m going to say right now because I’m so disgusted, I don’t trust myself to elaborate without saying something I’ll regret.

This article from The Onion is now 10 years old and it feels less funny but more disturbing today.
