Honestly, if I were to see an elderly person walking down the street alone in this manner and with this look on his face, I’d stop and offer to help him/call police and ask if an elderly person was missing.
Some people clearly got jealous over my Lubbock pic. Wait until they see the bungalows over the Houston ship channel in Pasadena, Texas, where I grew up.
There’s been a few people getting mad and trying to correct me. Some are calling me a liar or saying “That isn’t Lubbock, it’s a place in Switzerland. I’m like:
I’m a single dad and I have a night to myself. There will be some whiskey, some ranch style beans, and some reruns of Gunsmoke and the Golden Girls. Just being honest.
I don’t see what’s “funny” about poverty in Appalachia or San Francisco. Showing towns decimated by anti-coal policies is hardly comparable to policies that tolerate rampant petty crime. Come on, man. Not clever and a bit disingenuous in the comparison.
And by graphic warning we mean graphic warning. It’s the reality, the ignored reality, so it must be shown. Too many communities affected by this violence.
You should’ve reminded Hamas of this before they did what they just did. Israel has the right to destroy Hamas— and everyone directly associated with them — at this point. I do hope everyone can have peace AFTER that happens though 👍
Reminder, Gaza doesn’t have shelters or an iron dome and to please pray for them. May peace prevail in the region and move us towards a moral awakening to care about the human suffering we are seeing. Palestinians are human beings who have been in besieged and are deserving of…
“So many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump,”
@HillaryClinton
tells me. “There needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members” in the GOP, she adds in our EXCLUSIVE conversation.
If you’re someone who’s publicly shared private texts or emails in an effort to hurt someone else, I generally stay far away from you. Won’t hire you, date you, or be a friend — nothing. I just stay away in every way.
You mean the military-aged men in a combat zone who stayed after civilians left? Yeah, I support Hamas being treated this way. Actually, I’d support a lot worse for Hamas.
I’m a single dad with full custody of a little one and tonight is my first night alone in many months— and I’m spending it drinking whiskey and watching the Golden Girls.

@FBI
David, probably important for the director of such an agency to speak across the aisles. Also, they probably have more facts than do you. Maybe not. But likely.
Unpopular opinion: Trump likely wins nomination, but loses the general. Then many of you will absolve yourselves of blame by claiming “they” stole it. Then some will get violent and destructive. Then you’ll absolve yourself of that blame by claiming “they” entrapped the violent.
Go pick up a rifle and fight over there for a while, then send your family members. Oh, that’s not what you meant— you meant you’re okay risking our lives and the lives of those we love. Nope.
I will be working with Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to pass a resolution urging the admission of Ukraine into NATO.
The best way to prevent future wars and promote peace is to create security guarantees that make aggressor nations think twice before starting wars.…
It’s very possible

will be the next leader of Russia. Putin is on the run. Moscow is being attacked and the Russian military is in shambles. The end game is here.

Elect me and I will build a giant dome over Texas and air condition the entire state — thermostat on 68. A big beautiful dome. And Mexico will pay for it.
I think someone hacked his Twitter account. Not trying to be ugly, but this is akin to Mike Pence tweeting out a rainbow flag and calling for single-payer healthcare for all. Come on now.
MAGA House Republican proposals would slash funding for border security – a move that could allow nearly 900 pounds of fentanyl into our country.
We need more resources to secure the border. Not less.
I don’t see how anyone can watch this video of Leonard Cure and think the police officer was wrong to shoot him. The officer was being choked and having his neck/spine cranked — threat of death and severe bodily injury.
In the past two months, I’ve had one person tell me I should “actually visit the border” before reporting on it and I just had someone else tell me I should actually visit Mexico if I want to report on cartels. I don’t even know how to respond to that.
Oh hell, y’all. This Lubbock woman just tweeted at me to tell her where in Lubbock I took the picture. Then she got mad, told me I was a fake who didn’t really take the picture in Lubbock. I’m not sure what to do with that.
I was shocked recently when a friend in a California had never heard of a pimento cheese sandwich. I had no idea it wasn’t something everyone ate. Also, I’m fixing to eat this pimento cheese sandwich. Just FYI.
Read the comments/replies to this tweet. They’re hoping the least of these, the sojourner, and their children get eaten by alligators while simultaneously having “servant of Christ” in many of their bios.
Jay Leeson passed away this evening. He was a good friend to many of us and to any overlooked rural community. I’ll have more to say about him at some point, but not tonight. Rest in peace, friend.
Stephen Colbert is calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the country’s war with Hamas.
His comments come after Netanyahu took responsibility for a deadly strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers.
I’m starting to see a lot of people with blue checks who are claiming they’re not paying for Twitter blue. You guys do realize that some of them are actually paying and trying to act like they’re not, right?
I see many of my friends in Texas celebrating — not that truth won, but that our “side” stuck together and won. Not did someone do wrong or not do wrong, but that our own won regardless of that. Don’t believe me? Look at their celebratory words for yourselves. Politics.

People who publicly do stuff like that to me get fired immediately. I can’t have that. “Hi, Mr. Musk. I work for you at Twitter. Can we please talk? Thank you.” —- How a good employee handles things if they really feel the need to get a hold of a boss.
I do apologize if I’m being rude. It’s just bothersome watching famous rich people basically say “Do you know who I am? You’re lucky I’m here! Give me my drinks for free.”
I don’t care what consenting adults do in their bedrooms and I don’t even care if they have alternative arrangements in their marriages — none of my business. But if you chose to heavily use Jesus and “traditional family values” in your campaign, now we have an issue.
I have a child, asshole. If you want to go to direct war with Russia, fly over there and take up a rifle. You don’t get to risk my child’s life just because your war cult has a Red Dawn fetish. You grow up and think.
I’ve kept a secret and I’ve decided to finally be open about. The truth is, I prefer eating a ribeye steak over prime rib. I think cooking it as a steak is superior to cooking it as prime rib. There.
Just one more war… this one will be different… but this time it’s really important and the fate of the free world depends upon it… yeah, yeah, we know we’ve said it all before, but this time it’s really different… they’ll greet as as liberators… this time…
No, sir. The headline warns you with “Graphic” What transnational criminal orgs are doing in Mexico is largely ignored by most media outlets. Communities in Mexico deserve their stories told and shown just as much as other human beings.
@brandondarby
I think we need to get back to not providing the actual photos of the recently deceased. Wtf is this? A child could click on your site and see that crap. I'm just saying someone has to maintain a level of decency despite all that's happening.
If you don’t like dogs trying to love on you nonstop, then don’t come to my house. I won’t “just put them outside.” This is their home, so I’m more likely to put you outside if there’s an issue.
NEW: Dangerous chases of vehicles thought to contain migrants under the Texas government’s Operation Lone Star program led to crashes that killed at least 74 people and injured at least another 189.
In a new report, HRW documents the spike:
I really care about some of the people on both sides of the Trump-DeSantis fight, but I’m going to be honest with you. Some of y’all are acting like lunatics. Love ya, but you’re acting a little crazy.
