So you’ve “fixed” it so #AI no longer uses em dashes — something which mystifies me, because I happen to like them — but still haven’t fixed the fact that it never capitalizes the first word in a sentence, and always puts a weird space before the period to end a sentence.

My guess is this was a joke on how painfully obsequious Trump was to Clinton (and anyone with power in that era), but I still look forward to Trump feeling like he needs to deny the literal meaning.

I’ve got a team tech one. Most of my friends have either Emmys or Oscars for animation or VFX.
Can confirm he was/is never close to winning anything of the kind.
But for him, I think it galls him because Hollywood is the 2nd rejection, not the first.
NYC elites rejected him as well. Too needy.

This bill allows Congress to revoke a deployment of troops in a city that clearly does not want them there.
It’s the kind of thing we’ll need veto-proof (and DINO-proof) majorities to pass.
It’s never been more important to #Vote for hardcore Liberal candidates in EVERY race.

I’m for either Klobuchar (who actually gets Liberal ideas passed into law whether we’re in the majority or not), or Chris Murphy, who’s been absolutely EVISCERATING Trump verbally in the media every damn day.
Should be Klobuchar. Senate Democrats need someone who'll be really mean to them.

Fetterman fell down.
We hope he gets better, and are relatively confident he can do so, on a Senatorial health plan the likes of which he just denied anything close to, to millions of Americans.
Also, karma is undefeated in its irony.
