Dear #TheAP: As a general rule, it means the federal authorities are lying. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
To be fair, is it *really* TACO Tuesday if we have to hold the cilantro and lettuce?
Just as a reminder: as June 22, “the president's estimate of the size of the gash has grown to 350 feet” (Washington Post)
It’s like organized crime, if organized crime didn’t have an entrance exam and continuing education requirements.
Today’s AI triumph. (Actually Saturday’s, but still there two days later.)

We are being threatened with a good time again: “And I will no longer be able to call them Dumocrats again! The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans.” #OrangeMonkeyKingANGRY
And this is truly unusual: The #WashTimes is not only reporting the “Islamic Republic of Japan” bit (quoting the mad king verbatim), but — not shown — calling bullshit on the underlying claim.
STOP THE PRESSES! Trump gets the “gaffe-filled” headline treatment — from Forbes, no less. (2023 Fox hed for comparison.)
“… our lawyers will present, with geometric logic, all the ways in which The Times hid the duplicate key to the wardroom icebox.”
Trump is reposting a top drooler account that reposted *his* post of … kindergartners.
When presidents talk sports: The #WashTimes adjusts its headlines for just the right tone, June 2014.
Looks like somebody’s had his nap. Ignore the heat. Pain is only weakness leaving the body.
If the communists get in, you’ll never fish again! (Now with added HUSSEIN®!!!!!!!!!!)
First of nine posts, in a little under three hours, announcing approval of disaster aid. Most begin “I just spoke with …,” and all the others mention either the governor or the Republican candidate into whose care the great people will fall in November. What could be different about Florida?
You have to give him credit — this is a really creative way of trying to hold up a gas station.
Yes, he’s liveblogging the Supreme Court. No, he doesn’t say how he will “continue the fight.”
