When some people see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, they think, “Oh, they aren’t qualified.” When I see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, I think, “Wow, they had to work their ass off twice as hard to get here —now that’s being more than qualified.”

The Sunday shows are keeping it real—Schumer gave away the game for nothing. Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level. And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.
