We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements. Over and over and over. (thread)

@cmclymer This is the absolute best description of him! "In lieu of having a health secretary who is committed to keeping American citizens safe and healthy, we’ve been offered the tepid consolation prize of an expired midlife crisis that’s been in slow decay since the mid-90s."

“So, what we’re left with as a nation is collectively bearing witness to these cringey, embarrassing, pathetic, weak-ass performances of fragile masculinity — like attempting to do pull-ups as a PR stunt at the D.C. national airport” Exactly.

I’m a Democrat you fucking moron. God, I’m so sick of these self-righteous out-of-towners meddling in Indiana issues when they clearly don’t know shit about Hoosiers or our politics.

Oh, how I envy those who missed it, and thus, I feel compelled to apologize for bringing it to your attention. RFK, Jr.—Trump’s health secretary and the muse/catalyst behind the year’s biggest memoir publishing flop—took some time this week to demonstrate “pull-ups” at the

You couldn't pay me to attend this game. Yes, I am a wimp regarding cold weather, and I am very much at peace with that.

I love the midwest dearly, but genuinely how are any of you people alive.

Hot off the press! I’m going to personally see to it that the racial gerrymander by Texas Republicans and Trump backfires in their faces. https://t.co/SdmqYmHBCN

I say this sincerely - you will feel enriched watching this whole speech by @senatorwarnock.

Thanks for putting #CA48 on the map @InsideElections! One fact check however. Our campaign has the most Democratic support in the field from both CA and national leadership. @tedlieu @ericswalwell @MikeLevin @ScottPetersCA50 @derektranCA45 @PatRyanUC @AndreaRSalinas

I adore @NidaAllam. I think she's wonderful. Just a great person who would be phenomenal in Congress. I think she's the kind of person who transcends cumbersome political labels. She just cares about working class families and advocates for policies that help everyone.

I want to hear from you: Are your healthcare premiums going up next year? Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will leave millions of hardworking families paying hundreds more every month. This kind of hit to our budgets is the last thing we need during an affordability crisis.

WOMEN IS A BANNED WORD

I will be making sure there is a hot senator from Texas if it is the last thing I do! James Talarico is the hottie for the job undoubtedly. ENDORSED 🤠✅
