Virtually every number or statistic Trump throws out on any subject - polls, election results, casualty figures, immigration, taxes, spending, economic, gas or food prices, - 95% of the time he uses a number for anything it is patently false and wildly exaggerated in his favor.

I signed this letter because I’ve lived it. Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor are friends & former colleagues who chose country over politics—truth over fear. Now Trump is targeting them for it. This is authoritarian retribution—plain & simple. Over 200 of us are speaking out. Please read & share.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

My name is Ben and I have autism.
I’m not less than anyone else I just see
the world differently. Lately I’ve been
working on losing weight by walking.
I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also
helps with my confidence and I can
enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

I have a question.
All of a sudden, I’m having a surge of prospective followers. I don’t comment to get followers, haven’t been posting all that much recently, so this is confounding.
Did Bluesky change something that made this happen?
Anybody else?

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Last week the folks on Fox News assumed their viewers had no memory of a story from August 2024. NASA had ALWAYS planned to pick up two astronauts during a SpaceX mission in February 2025 that got moved to March 2025. I provide receipts - @pbsnews.org
