I predict a dangerous drop in the world’s oxygen levels as New Yorkers around the world inhale and hold their breath for the next three hours or so. #Knicks

Dear @StephenM - Making sure I understand, protests in LA are "An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States" but storming US Capitol, injuring police officers, and calling for execution of @Mike_Pence is an act that results in mass pardons and veneration

When Trump and Elon break up, I suspect it’ll be over simple fact that while both have children with three different women, Trump has five kids. Musk had 12. Trump has to be best at everything.

Dear @Olympics and @NBCOlympics - An idea for next time. Have golden retrievers and labs bring the discus back after each throw. #Olympic2024 #dog

I actually feel bad for @realDonaldTrump when he has trouble pronouncing the first name of @kamalaharris. Names are hard. I have to keep reminding myself while it’s spelled T-r-u-m-p, it’s prounced “felon.”

Hearing that Biden is addressing nation Wednesday to discuss ending his campaign, Trump’s demanding equal time. My feeling is if he wants to discuss ending his campaign, give him the airtime.

This is not directed at Ali, but at her network. Spreading information like this, which is coming from a former police officer and current Mayor’s office, comes across as doing PR for cops in order to garner support for harsh law enforcement action. Wife of a known terrorist? What does that even mean? Is she a target of law enforcement? Is she a fugitive? What kind of terrorist? Is she a danger to the public? If so why aren’t they doing anything about her? Is she the wife of a famous imprisoned Black Panther? Like what are we doing here? This “leak” is literally timed to the raid.
