THEY’RE EATING THE PETS! Kf 2025 Prediction: This will be the year when the coyote explosion in some urban areas becomes a hot political issue. Will have the outlines of PC (“they were here before we were”) vs. MAGA, but it won’t be close. Liberals are scared of coyotes too.

I mean, what’s going on at that high school? Gang fights? Ethnic divisions? Personal beefs? Mods vs. Rockers? Violence spilling out of BlueSky and onto the streets? The Post just gives the official banalities.

Trump co-campaign manager @ChrisLaCivita thinks Dems would have lost more Senate seats if Biden hadn’t dropped out. And presumably the switcheroo helped Dems in the House too. So there’s that. https://t.co/veaCMhCMpH

Also somewhat alarming that Stephen Miller doesn’t use the word “wall” in his defense of the expensive reconciliation package. (He says “all the barriers and technology you need”). The border patrol is quite capable of spending $85 B and NOT finishing the wall.

Forgot to add @SeanDuffyWI. Maybe the DOT could do something about the practices of @JetBlue (and others). It’s one thing to let 1 wrong charge stay pending for a while. But five wrong charges? Caused by your website malfunction ….? https://t.co/ve88yUJEqk

Well, they’re in touch with their donors–although I’m not sure even their donors are this clueless. You’d think they would want to wait to see what Trump does first, and give him an opportunity to declare victory, rather than simply running the play that didn’t work last time. https://t.co/NoTRI5TEbo
