This 🧵 sure made me go "hmmm" a lot...

OMG this is the funniest thing I've read in a very long time! 🤣

Signaling independence to your constituents and voting contrary to your former party are two different things. Let's wait and see.

As a white Texas voter, I've seen a lot of similar claims, mostly in the form "listen to black women." But given the clear voter breakdown, maybe all these folks should be listening to the Latinas? BTW I would be just as happy if Crockett had won.

This is from an account that follows me, then unfollows me, then follows me again, and so forth - several times a week - apparently to entice me to follow back by triggering a notification each time.

Always a banger. More relevant every day.

That "hope" in the last sentence isn't much to base a foreign policy on.

Kind of late to be figuring out who runs US foreign policy. In addition to Russia, that is.

Marcy makes a great observation: A week after being seriously injured, a soldier had still not been evacuated to Germany, where proper medical care was available. Why????

Oh no, this will be much worse than Iraq. At least we had prepared for Iraq.

Just think, only 1 1/2 years ago...

So sorry to hear of this. However, your reporting did motivate me to explore Frontenac Active Club's Telegram and the Second Sons homepage. Absolutely vile stuff. Please know how much you are valued here, but at the same time, be very careful!.

No parents are being forced to discuss anything. They are completely free to forbid their children from watching it.
By contrast the rest of us are forced to live in a media environment programmed to not offend the bigots.

Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people.

He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.

Judge Lamberth really brought the hammer down...

As VP and therefore a member of the administration, her freedom to forge a different foreign policy in response to an acute situation was limited. Signalling a very different approach could have been seen as undermining the ongoing talks. Bibi knew that of course and slammed Gaza that much harder.

Yet mysteriously, Iran keeps sending rockets and drones.

Major point: they didn't "surrender" to their neighbors.

If I remember the statement correctly, Iran apologized to the neighboring countries but said they will still return fire again if attacked from any US facilities in those countries.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

I'm holding out for a unicorn. Surely they can manage that if they're promising lower gas prices.

That's "Lil' Viceroy Rubio," me thinks.

Little did we know that the "great" period MAGA wants to return us to is horse-and-buggy times.

So they're in the process of dialing things WAY back...
😂

Seeing the color scheme of this airline got me thinking how surprising it is that we haven't yet seen Trump Airlines jumpstarted to get in on this gravy train.
