Which reminds me - we saw countless stories of “is @mayor.nyc.gov up for this” pre-storm and I haven’t seen anything post-storm. Did he not slip on the ice or something? 😏
Complete failure of the @mayorbowser.dc.gov administration. More than 24h after the storm ended many neighborhood streets are still untouched by plows.

In just a few short hours, Southwest (#$SWA) will do its last cattle call. Going to be a hot mess for them tomorrow. Will miss the “old Southwest”.

I hate slippery slope arguments but I can’t help but think these federal officials know POTUS is going to pardon them, regardless. Otherwise why dig into the lies?

Ten years ago, I became the "National Weather Service spotter 1 mile WNW of Reagan National/DCA" in the national news. Hopefully, the DCA snowboard person was able to maintain visibility on their snowboard this time around. 🤣 #dcwx #vawx

Is it me or does something seem off on the comms for this accident?

If the government shuts down on Thursday, and it looks like it will at this point, how long until @democrats.org cave like they did last time? Can we get a Polymarket on this?

Crazy that another person killed by the federal government has a connection to Colorado. @cprnews.bsky.social @coloradosun.com

Deploying State Patrol (and "conservation officers?") is not "protecting the people", @governorwalz.mn.gov @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social. That's protecting the 🧊 🐷.
