Sure, we have had senior Cabinet officials who seethed about this story or that from time to time that they felt was unfair. But we’ve never had a Secretary of Defense who spends every single day so completely consumed by media coverage to the point where he can’t even function.

Lake randomly throwing out a baseless smear on Dem Rep Greg Stanton of Arizona, a longtime opponent of hers. She claims to have seen a report that he had a gay lover. No such report surfaces in a quick google. Now it will though. What a small, vile creature she is.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

Trump canceled the briefing to Congress on the Iran bombings at the last minute and provided no explanation, but the leaked report saying the operation was not as successful as he claimed is definitely fake news because the two things can’t possibly be connected.
