Well, this is sad and terrible: “Many experts believe that estrangements between adult children and their parents are becoming an epidemic in the U.S.” “Psychologists say young adults’ definition of harmful parental behavior is changing.” They “consider ordinary conflict to be much worse than it once was” and “have a much broader definition than their elders of psychological harm.” “Many now view repeated criticism, strong disagreements and other painful relationship conflicts as abusive.” “In their minds, they see themselves as more enlightened and therefore more justified to cut off for more reasons.”

Americans are feeling higher fuel prices, especially diesel. Restricting U.S. diesel exports may sound like a quick fix, but it risks making this situation far worse. This crisis began with a choke point. We can’t fix it by creating another one.

SIBERIAN HUSKY ALLEGEDLY TAKEN HOSTAGE AND KILLED IN WASHINGTON, DC. Three DMV residents are facing federal charges after prosecutors say they stole a man's Siberian Husky and used the dog as leverage in a dispute over a vehicle. Federal prosecutors allege Antwon Sockwell, 36, of D.C.; Keith Packer, 35, of Suitland; and Tierra Love, 38, of Suitland threatened the victim and stole his dog. After the victim refused to turn over the vehicle without getting his dog back, prosecutors allege Packer texted him “anything you wanna say last?” Minutes later, authorities allege the Husky was shot in the head in a Southeast D.C. alley and killed. U.S. Attorney @JudgeJeanine says “These defendants terrorized the victim, and took hostage and executed his innocent dog as part of a calculated scheme to extort him.” The three face federal charges including animal crushing, conspiracy, extortion-related communications and stalking. Sockwell and Packer also face a firearm charge. Love was arrested today in Virginia. Sockwell and Packer were already in custody. #BreakingNews #DC #Maryland #Virginia #AnimalCruelty #7NewsIteam

"She's mean" likely won't be effective, "She's a fraud" might be. Acts one way in public another behind closed doors, can't be trusted.
I wonder if the slurs mentioned here are a net positive for Peltola One Republican I talked to said this article boosts her favorables in Alaska

Whenever I see a photo of Sam Altman in a suit I do a doubletake because I think I'm looking at Paul Reiser's character from Aliens.

Going to thread this instead @seanspicer. The concern is that eliminating the independent TV pool feed and putting WHCA in control of the feed would essentially make the govt the camera operator, audio engineer, producer & distributor of the primary visual/audio record of the President of the United States.
the feed is the feed Reporters are still part of the pool - they ask the questions. Is your concern the feed gets cut off? Right now they can be usher out at anytime

It would set precedent that the next president (Democrat or Republican) would inherit. Do you want any president to possess the institutional control of the only TV feed of his or her presidency when independent cameras cannot be present? I don't.

The presidency should not be both the subject of coverage and the sole producer of said coverage. If the feed is the feed, what is the objection to a rotating pool of those who cover the WH to document the Presidency?

The White House Communications Agency (WHCA) is operated by the White House Military Office (WHMO) which is ultimately controlled by the President, ANY President, in their role as commander in chief. C'mon @seanspicer, I'm sure you can see the potential issue with that?
you see what you did - answer the question - what's wrong with letting WHCA run the feed - might even be able to add another media personality

So dumb, you’d think someone who covers the NFL would have heard of tailgating… but troll for clicks.
I cannot recall covering an NFL regular season game with this many empty seats. (Not counting the COVID season, of course)

For what it’s worth, I worked at TMZ for a few years and can tell you there is approximately a 0% chance any of these interviews in DC with AOC are spontaneous.
🗣️ Rep. AOC tells @hicharliecotton she is boycotting Ed Sheeran because she says he's complicit in Robert Kraft and other stadium owners' efforts to silence Macklemore.

Fernando... huh. I guess it is nice background music!?
A fun moment on Air Force One tonight somewhere over the Atlantic. Two officials came back to the press cabin relaying message from the president — did we want to listen to his playlist while he worked? We obliged. And here’s some of what we got; Jolene — Dolly Parton The Undertaker’s WWE entrance music Teenage Wasteland— The WHO Dorma — Pavarotti Fernando — ABBA POTUS later came back to see what we thought. A gaggle followed.

Incredible performance from my pal John of his hit song Superman. 25 years ago, he performed the song at the Concert for New York City. The concert raised 35 million for families and first responders directly impacted by the terrorist attack in NYC. Never Forget.
Under the glow of the Tribute in Light, @JohnOndrasik performed “Superman,” a song that has come to symbolize courage, sacrifice, and the strength to carry on. His performance was part of a night of music and remembrance marking 25 years since 9/11, bringing together artists, survivors, families, and people across the country to reflect on the lives and legacies of those we lost. As the beams illuminated the New York City skyline, Ondrasik joined Cyndi Lauper and Lainey Wilson in a powerful evening of reflection, honoring the sacrifice, resilience, and service that continue to shape how we remember September 11. “9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan,” presented by ABC News in partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. Twenty-five years later, the promise to never forget remains as important as ever. Support the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and help carry these stories forward for generations to come. Every gift to The Never Forget Fund will be matched dollar for dollar by @MikeBloomberg, up to $25 million. Support at neverforget.org
