Listening to 47's comments about the Signal scandal & hearing him call a journalist a 'bottom feeder' reminds me of my undergrad psychology classes. 'Projection' is displacing one's own insecurities and feelings of unworthiness onto others. If you Iisten closely, we know what DJT fears most

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

You’re fired. Wait, oops, you’re rehired. All funds are frozen! Oof, that was unpopular, okay, we’ll rescind it for now. Tariffs! Oh wait, no, not for a month. Tariffs again! Ouch, that stock market response! Okay maybe not for cars, not for the next month, okay? okay.
