CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"

Lindsey Graham: "If we get in a fight, I want to win it quick. I'm in Miami. You see this hat? 'Free Cuba.' Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We're marching through the world. We're clearing out the bad guys. Cuba is next."

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes. (1/3)

Mine popped this weekend too! This is definitely the earliest I have ever had peonies start, though the flowering trees are not as early as some years. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

This is a neat story, this is what kindness looks like, this is what respecting the beliefs of others looks like.

Gas going from $2.85 to $3.39 in one week was not in my budget for this month.

Yes, but the governor will (and must) appoint another Republican, and he has already signaled that is will be someone loyal to Trump.

I just left a classified briefing on Iran, and here's what I can say: it is so much worse than you thought. You are right to be worried.

This doesn’t sound good…why do they need to hire more people at Dover if we’ve only had 6 service members killed?

Awful big talk for a guy who lost three f-15s to friendly fire this morning.

Agreed.

And, this is potentially much worse because the president is a sociopath.

You can oppose authoritarianism in Iran and the United States at the same time.

i really struggle to understand how anyone could behave this way. i mean, intellectually, i get it. i research monsters for a living. i know they’re real.
but imagine slamming the cage door in a crying child’s face, having just confiscated her crayons. and then going home to your own family???

Ugh, I think I would have preferred a vape shop.

Does anyone know what is going on behind the Starbucks on 5th Street? I wish it was parking for the Rivanna Trail though that seems unlikely, but hopefully not a vape shop.

This was before my Episcopalian era, was that similar to the Rite I service of today?
