This is the first time I’ve ever been trolled by a preschool. 😂

I don't know about you, but I think we're going to see Trump's healthcare plan and "Infrastructure Week" before we see a peace deal with Iran.

My latest. Not too many of you had ideas on what Churchill Downs should do to win back community support, but a few of you did. courier-journal.com/story/op…

This is true. What is also true is that Republicans who are crying loudest now would be defending Cruz and doing everything in their power to protect him.
May 31
If Ted Cruz had a Nazi tattoo and was accused of doing everything Graham Platner has done democrats would be crying literal tears on meet the press demanding his resignation and saying he was an insult to our constitution.

Interesting. All six of the Republican appointees are upside down.

This is a horrible take from someone who should know better. She was a 35-yr-old who for whatever reason was homeless. I don’t know the circumstances that led to Adams being on the street and doubt @CMPiagentini did either, and I doubt he knows what the family did to help her.
This is a horrible, horrible tragedy and I pray for the soul of Ms. Adams. Question though, if the family can sue the city, can the city counter sue the family for neglect? What did they not do which could have prevented this from happening?

Now do Thomas Massie and Republicans.

John Fetterman votes with Republicans 7% of the time and Democrats 93% of the time. Yet Democrats hate him and Republicans love him. Great example on Democrat insistence on complete agreement on all things. There is no marketplace of ideas in the Democrat party.

Why is @louisvillekygov destroying this wildlife habitat at Hays Kennedy Park? It’s in the area near the pond which is home to birds, turtles, deer and other animals.

This is one hell of a reader's note.
Last night, I had too much to drink and said some things that don’t represent who I really am. I’m sorry and today I am seeking help for my drinking problem. @jchristenson_ @lawler4ny @reesejgorman

If you are wondering how things are going up on Capital Hill. We have elected family members screaming “you are a Jew” at catholics
May 13
New: Sen. Rand Paul’s son drunkenly accosted and hurled anti-Semitic insults at Rep. Mike Lawler at a Capitol Hill bar on Tuesday night.
His son told Lawler that if Rep Thomas Massie loses, it’s going to be because of “your people.”
“My people?” Lawler asked Paul.
“Yeah, you Jews,” Paul responded.
“Do you think I’m Jewish?” Lawler asked. “I’m not.”
“Oh wow, I’m so sorry for calling you a Jew,” Paul said.
He then said that Jews were “anti-American” and how Lawler and his “Jewish supporters” served Israel more than America.

And minor things like permanently damaging the reflecting pool and paying $13 million to do it after annoucing that it was only going to cost $1.8 million.

If you had any doubt that @ScottJenningsKY has become a joke, he criticized a Democratic transportation secretary for attending to his son in ICU but defended a Republican transportation secretary who filmed a reality series while he was supposed to be working.
Scott Jennings defends Sean Duffy filming a reality show for 7 months.
Abby Phillip plays a video of Jennings attacking Buttigieg for taking paternity leave.
Phillip: It’s okay to acknowledge when you’re wrong.
Jennings: What was I wrong about?

Can you imagine the what Republicans would say if Biden or Obama had 1) bombed a country and claimed the war would be over in days, yet it was not over for 2 1/2 months. 2) Not had a plan to effecitively deal with the enemy taking control of an important trade route. 1/?

5) Was himself the reason the country was making progress on nuclear weapons because he tore up an agreement that gave the International Atomic Energy Agency the right to inspect.

6) Was being mocked by the country's leadership. ie. -- Trump: "You must submit by 8 p.m." Response from Iran: Eight's not good for us, how does 2 p.m. tomorrow work?" 7) looks increasingly like he started a war in which our enemy will come out stronger.

Stable genius said Ukraine held no cards and that Iran war would be over in a matter of days. How is that working out?
