So Def. Sec Hegseth changed the name of Ft Moore back to Ft Benning. As w/ Ft Bragg, they found another soldier with the same name to make it seem like they weren't just changing the name back to honor a Confederate. But you should know who Ft Moore was named for. 🧵 www.defense.gov/News/Release...

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

The Democratic party is currently lead by the most ineffectual bunch of losers I’ve ever seen. James Carville says it’s time to “play dead.” Hakeem Jeffries is on a book tour. Chuck Schumer is so uninspiring it’s a joke. They don’t care about winning, they care about enriching themselves.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

To those in red state Kentucky who voted for the orange felon, he has done literally everything but address your several days of dangerous flooding and has actually denied FEMA aid for other red states like Georgia. You chose cruelty and I hope he delivers what you wanted. FAFO.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

The American right has turned to Hungary to learn how authoritarians consolidate power. The American left should look to Poland to see how a big-tent coalition can defeat authoritarianism. It involves multiple parties appealing to different voters.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

If you live in Louisiana, please call your reps, especially Senator Cassidy, and urge them not to advance Kennedy! 5calls.org makes it really easy -and if you can’t get thru to a person or voicemail on the DC number, they have regional numbers to try as well. Thank you from your fellow 💙s in 🔴s!!

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Pro tip: if your senator's/congressperson's DC office doesn't answer or their mailbox is full, call their regional offices. Most senators have six regional offices. Just google your senator and you'll find it on their website. Keep calling until you get a person or can leave a message.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
