.@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "This is somebody who will break the law for Trump. Cornyn will mutter under his breath that he doesn't like some of the things that Trump is doing, but Paxton will go to all the lengths to clear whatever pesky laws might be in the way of what Donald Trump wants."

Former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Netanyahu: "He told me in July 2009 that the Iranian regime was fragile and would crumble at the first attack.

Fans think Harry Styles’ new song is about Olivia Wilde, and honestly — yeah, probably. At this point Harry Styles doesn’t go through breakups, he goes through content cycles. Taylor Swift gets dragged for writing songs about exes. Harry Styles does the exact same thing with a little more reverb
