Brad Pitt at the #Oscars : They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week... I'm thinking Quentin does a movie about it and in the end, the adults do the right thing.
Josh Gad: In fact, “Frozen 2,” or as climate change deniers call it, not “Frozen 2,” has been dubbed in 45 different languages...For instance, Canadian Elsa is basically the same, but with health care.
Julia Reichert at the #Oscars quotes the Communist Manifesto: Working people have it harder and harder these days and we believe that things will get better when workers of the world unite.

🧵: A brutal Venezuelan gang beat up cops in NYC, is connected to the Laken Riley case, and the US government allowed them into the country.
Victims of Tren de Aragua explained to me how the gang operates and what needs to happen to stop them.
All of the Venezuelans who we interviewed wanted to remain anonymous. A few others wanted to be interviewed but backed out because they were too scared to say anything, highlighting how much power Tren de Aragua has in the US and Venezuela.
Tren de Aragua is very much connected to the Nicolás Maduro regime, despite actions by the government to indicate otherwise, according to people we interviewed. TDA works as enforcers for the regime, in addition to controlling much of the criminal underworld in Latin America.
On the ground in Eagle Pass, TX. This is a small example of the many debris fields along the US side of the Rio Grande. Illegal immigrants dump their wet clothes and change into a new set after wading across the river.
Meanwhile, groups of illegal immigrants continue to enter into Eagle Pass, resulting in long lines to wait to be processed. This is by far the worst I’ve seen the area.
🧵: @Chuck_Ritter92 is a decorated Special Forces soldier who has served the U.S. for many years. His life was nearly derailed after @JackMurphyRGR published a report last year that accused him of unprofessional conduct involving a soldier's significant other. The Army's investigation found none of the accusations were true.
Ritter thought he could put the ordeal behind him after providing Murphy with the investigation's findings, but Murphy has not updated the original story for over a year. Ritter, who is about to retire from the military, says the article has harmed his career options in the civilian world.
Murphy reported on allegations Ritter was sexting with a solider's spouse after Ritter had disciplined the soldier while they were deployed in Syria. Not only did the Army find the allegations to be false, but the soldier, Daniel, is going on the record to say none of the accusations were true.
The first part of Murphy's report is true. Ritter had an in-person conversation with Kathryn Elizabeth Leyen at a bar, where she accused him of trying to destroy Daniel Regeimbal's career. Ritter denied he was trying to do that.
