The world could certainly use a little more kindness right now. My 150 7th grade students drew a random classmate’s name and had a month to plan, carry out and reflect on an act of kindness for that person. We are breaking down social barriers and normalizing compassion. #nced

Children missing school because of immigration enforcement doesn’t just mean they are falling behind academically. Many also rely on school for meals and basic medical needs, not to mention the important social needs that go unmet when students aren’t in school. #nced

Not a drag queen. Not a trans woman. A BORDER PATROL agent… drunk, armed, and completely out of control… was the one wandering into the women’s restroom, in Long Beach, California. He left his firearm and ammunition clip sitting on the sink. And when a woman went to wash her

There is just something really wrong with this. I don’t care if you wear a red jersey or a blue one. The lack of decency is stunning. It’s just plain wrong. Why don’t more Kentucky republicans say so?

Remember the Chicago apartment raid? With Blackhawk helicopters? That was in a building "filled with Tren de Agua terrorists," according to Stephen Miller? ProPublica is reporting not a *single* person who was arrested has been charged with a crime:

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. https://t.co/EAqRoi5zN2

Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

This is official United States government social media account. Not sure how this country recovers from this. It’s like real life Idiocracy.
Womp womp, cry all you want. These criminal illegal aliens aren’t getting released. Like clockwork, violent rioters have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility to demand the release of some of the worst human beings on planet earth. Get a job you imbecilic morons.

In a highly sophisticated espionage campaign, attackers employed AI’s “agentic” capabilities to an unprecedented degree—using AI not just as an advisor, but to execute the cyberattacks themselves. 😳 https://t.co/0m5hh3hnbq

After months of fighting and disparaging my Epstein legislation, now that my discharge petition has succeeded, @SpeakerJohnson says he tried to pass the law by unanimous consent. If that’s so, he should have no problem voting YEA next week. Listen to his own words:

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s
