| Two-thirds of Americans don't like Trump's Twitter habit, poll finds |
| President Trump loves Twitter. We knew this well before he kicked off his presidential campaign. Now that he's commander in chief, it seems Americans might not approve of the habit. An ABC News/Washington Post poll released Monday found 67% of Americans don't like how Trump uses Twitter. Among the words commonly associated with his tweets: "inappropriate," "insulting" and "dangerous." The survey also found that 68% did not think the president was a positive role model for young people. The poll comes as the six-month mark of Trump's presidency approaches this week. Writes USA TODAY's Susan Page: The time for a turnaround is tightening, as Trump's crucial first year in office reaches its midpoint. |

| Ann Coulter picked a Twitter fight with Delta. The airline hit back |
| This might be the rare time social media users are rooting for the airline.

Delta offered an apology and a $30 refund for pre-booking the seat. The airline then went on to slam Coulter for her "unacceptable" insults against employees and customers. Amid the venom, cue 'Snakes on a Plane' jokes a-plenty. |
