I'm not a fan of either guy, but saying that aloud makes Crenshaw "not-well" person, right? Like, do normal people talk calmly about whom they will kill?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Our colleagues at the @AP are the best in the business, total professionals and straight as they come. Since I started covering the White House in 1996, no president has punished a mainstay of the press pool to enforce his personal choice of what words they use in their stories.

The NIH cuts are being spun as a way to eliminate bloated university bureaucracy. And looking at the sheer numbers, I get it. But in fact the story is the exact opposite. The federal research grants system is highly efficient. And it super charges American innovation. 🧵 1/

The shortest summary of what we’re witnessing is that the right lost a decades-long ideological battle over the proper size of government, and then, instead of moving on, decided to impose their will criminally.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone. Or on a plaque in every ATC tower. Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode. Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American. Or on a stamp. Or maybe currency. Something.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

You will never succeed at fighting right wing disinfo with facts. Right wingers believe the first thing they hear & they'll believe it for life. They'll fight to the death about some inconsequential bullshit they just heard 5 seconds ago. You beat them by calling them weird assholes & isolating them

With respect: Anyone who says Beyonce is overrated is not a serious person. Vocal mastery, performance level, & showmanship are measurable. If you don't acknowledge her skill, you are either not a musician or you have ulterior motives for tearing her down. You don't have to be a fan to recognize.

I don't understand this. I played high school and college basketball. NO ONE could talk me out of playing a game (if not injured). If you love the game, you want to be on the floor! I don't care who is on the other team. This transphobic culture war crap is chickenshit. Play them and beat them, FFS.

#TrueStory I was a 23yo Minnesotan living in Odessa, Tx at the time. Was driving home from San Angelo listening to game on radio w/ MN plates & Vikes flag in my window; other drivers were PISSED 😂. I pulled over in Garden City just to celebrate (fist pumps) when Vikes won. It's a formative memory 🙌
