At this point Ben Sasse’s Twitter feed is a must follow no matter your political persuasion or even if you have none.

The Knicks winning every game except the one Trump was at is better lore than if they actually won every game

Well Done, ESPN.

Our room for the coming days in Houston. I don’t even know what to say about this. This is just unreal. No words. Huge huge thank you to JJ Watt for giving me and my friends the opportunity to stay at a place like this🙏🙏🙏

Freddy is here!

The graffiti is now off of the Kennedy Center. Democracy beats fascism once again.

A couple of Germans on a road trip have done more to inspire patriotism ahead of America’s 250th anniversary than the entirety of the U.S. government.

Ignore Trump this weekend. I mean completely ignore him. Ignore his birthday, ignore his desecration of the people’s house, ignore every lie & every idiotic thing he’ll say this weekend. Instead, enjoy yourself this weekend. And on Monday, resume the fight to defeat him & defend democracy.

Some say this is pandering to Republicans. I disagree. In order to implement change you have to work with those you disagree with. Majority of Cornyn supporters are your run of the mill classic conservative who despise the MAGA movement. They will vote for someone who is willing to address the issues they’re facing, or simply not vote at all. That’s not pandering. That’s welcoming people who will help him win.

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching. Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves. I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

I think we’re far enough into his term to acknowledge that Mamdani is a great mayor. I think it’s also clear that what makes him a great mayor are his communication, personality, style, and instincts, not specifically where he falls on the political ideology axis. Therefore, when the 2028 Democratic primary heats up, I think more focus should be placed on these qualities, with less focus on analysis of the minutia of policy positions.

Wow. Putin is looking weaker by the day.

Cool. How about you do some checking and balancing @JohnCornyn? You’ve got a lotta months to put those words into action.

Axios should just make this a pinned tweet.

President Claudia Sheinbaum celebrating Mexico’s win. This is how a president celebrates—not by sleeping. #worldcup #trump

Seems like Texas becomes more in play for Democrats with each passing day.

My mayor still Muslim My bagel still Jewish The pope’s on our side Knicks in🖐️

Ken Paxton is such a criminal that his own lawyer endorsed Talarico. Rick Wilson lays out why Paxton is a bad candidate on MSNOW:

When Donald Trump went to see the Knicks they lost to break a 13 game winning streak. When Taylor Swift went they staged the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. 🤔🤔🤔

Turns out it was a huge three...
