NASA just announced U.S. astronauts Barry Wilmore & Sunita Williams — who have been stuck at the International Space Station since June due to failures of their Boeing Starliner spacecraft — will remain stuck in space until 2025 when they’ll be rescued by SpaceX’s Dragon capsule.
WOW

is looking regal on the carpet. Did you know? Her cape is embroidered with the names of female directors that were not nominated.

Round of applause for Emma Weyant, the UVA swimmer who placed second in the 500y freestyle tonight, behind Lia Thomas. Second is the new first.

John was hospitalized & forced to give his dog to the Rome Humane Society.
When RN Jennifer heard about it, she went there & adopted John’s dog, so that she could bring him to visit while he completed his rehabilitation. This kindness is the most precious Christmas gift.(AW)❤️🎄
Jill Biden trying to distract from her comments about Hunter’s drug abuse, and ending up under a giant banner reading “Hunter High,” is straight out of a VEEP episode
Seeing a lot of tweets about tear gas being used on protesters in Lafayette Park (not true) and a photo of the White House with the lights out saying it’s President Trump (it’s from 2015). Haven’t seen Twitter fact-check any of those tweets.
WATCH: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivers impassioned response to President Trump’s address: “The president should be really defending why we are funding [ICE] at all … right now, what we are seeing, is death.”

Democrats are shutting down the government because they refuse to fund CHIP (health insurance for American kids) without DACA amnesty.
Apparently Chuck & Nancy have a problem with putting America first.
Could you imagine if it were Trump up there, standing in front of a historic building lit up in red, flanked by Marines, demonizing his predecessor's supporters, weeks after his AG signed off on a raid of that predecessor's home?
The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the military who are injured in battle.
Peter Strzok sent some mean texts about rigging an election. What a huge insult to wounded veterans.
The man calling
@ByronDonalds
an Uncle Tom and a race traitor is a professor at Georgetown named Zein El-Amine.
Lunacy from student activists is a symptom.
The disease on campus is far left professors. The cure is making them unemployable.
"A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate," one of the anti-malaria drugs that President Trump has mentioned in recent days.
"Sorry you believe women's sports are for women; maybe try being less crazy?"
UPenn directed its female swimmers to mental health services when they complained that a transgender athlete is out-competing them.
Tim Walz at Boston fundraiser tonight, per pool:
“I feel like one of my roles in this now is to be the anti-Tommy Tuberville, to show that football coaches are not the dumbest people.”
Not a good look by the House GOP to release cherry picked excerpts through friendly media outlets in order to build a narrative. Only reinforces the partisan look to all this. A truly nonpartisan act would have been a complete release without cherry picks
Let's play "What if a Republican did it?" re: Hillary's Grammys cameo...
"That's bullying"
"He can't admit he lost"
"Just go away"
"Nobody wants to hear from you"
@gail_wheeler3
Yes, I’m aware - I graduated with honors from a college founded specifically to train diplomats. Good ones know how to get tough on people like Erdogan (and Assad) - something the Hillary didn’t do.
@1followernodad
I'm torn. On the one hand, prostituting yourself to own the cons is sad and bizarre.
On the other hand, a Leftist has finally come up with a plan to privately fund Planned Parenthood without taxes.
Baby steps. But not literally; Planned Parenthood's fans wouldn't like that.
The Chicago Teachers Union is threatening to strike unless it gets demands worth $50 billion.
- on-demand school closures after undefined "trauma"
- "police-free" schools
- lower teacher standards
- avg. salaries of ~$148k by 2028
@PeterVroom1
“I am not using their names”...you only used their photos, their location, and a link to where they live, so that anyone who wants to can make them a target. But at least the attacker won’t know their names, or something? Ew.
Mrs. Kavanaugh is handing out cupcakes to reporters and photographers who are gathered outside her house.
A quick Google search tells me she's from Abilene, Texas. Not surprised at all...only a Southerner would think "Oh, you hate my family? Here, have a cupcake."

@SpeakerPelosi
speaking at presser with CBC: Thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice...Because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous for justice.
What progressives did to the school system is perhaps the strongest argument for not putting them in charge of anything else.
Within a century, we went from teaching Latin and Greek in high schools to teaching remedial English literacy in college.
New high school grads are generally considered "unskilled workers" and we just...accept this? That after 13 years of education, they have zero marketable skills? People are okay with this?
Randi Weingarten: school closures didn’t harm kids
Randi Weingarten: we fought to reopen schools
Randi Weingarten: please be nice to us even though we closed the schools and harmed your kids
When Tim Walz talks about public schools tonight, he'll be within a 10-minute walk of four Chicago Public Schools. All of them are failing.
Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez gets paid $350k a year to preside over this disaster.

And Stockholm syndrome!
Spanish flu almost fits, but it probably didn’t originate in Spain - during WWI Spain was one of the few countries that allowed media to cover the outbreak, so people assumed that’s where it started.
Randi's lying (again). The teacher did NOT read The Diary of Anne Frank.
She read a "graphic adaptation" that is loosely based on the original and includes fictional sexual content.
Breaking News: Test results show the pandemic’s effect on U.S. students: The math and reading scores of 9-year-olds dropped steeply, erasing two decades of progress.
May 28: Scott Ziegler tells the school board that a male student assaulted a girl in the restroom
June 22: Scott Ziegler says the attacker "simply does not exist"
JW found FBI docs on 2016's tarmac meeting between Loretta Lynch & Bill Clinton showing involvement by FBI’s Peter Strzok, suggesting the Clinton email investigation decision was made in April 2016, & referring to protecting Comey from embarrassment.
If there's ever one thing we can all agree on, it's standing up for the pups! Glad both parties could come together and joining me in helping bring to an end animal testing mandates.
Just hours before it was set to take effect, Biden's Title IX rule has been halted in GA, AL, SC, and FL.
If anybody tells you that your daughter has to change clothes next to a boy, or your son must be punished for "misgendering"...bless their heart & tell 'em to pound sand.
