@NYCMayor Philidelphia was the first capital. If you can't be bothered with facts, at least maybe employ people who know them?

@cspan No, we are told that America is exceptional because we have lifted up more people globally from poverty and tyranny than any other nation in all of human history. If you disagree with that, than I ask: who did more?

[Ben Lanson @BenLanson]

@slowhoneybee The Squadfather even!

@JillFilipovic This is called "shomer negiah," roughly "observant of touch." It governs touch with the opposite sex. So men won't shake your hand, and women won't shake mine. Not clear to me that this is sexist.

@hakeemjeffries You don't think these folks are extreme? They aren't going to make your job any easier...You are the Leader. Show some leadership.

@piersmorgan "Self-acclaimed?" Seems more like West Point faculty-acclaimed. Remind me your military credentials again? I mean, Col. Spencer is no reality TV show judge, but he likely knows a thing or two...

@EliLake It seems historically appropriate to alter their name now to the National Socialist-Democratic American Party -- the NSDAP.

@WhiteHouse Peace in our time! I wonder if anyone has said that before.

[Ben Lanson @BenLanson]

@WhiteHouse @VP Didn't we once have an agreement that said that? That one wasn't worth much, either.

[Ben Lanson @BenLanson]

@VP Seems a lot like we surrendered. Maybe just release the text so people can judge for ourselves?

@grahamformaine Didn't you got to Hotchkiss for $70k a year? Seems like you might be part of that class

@NYCMayor "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to [post on social media] and to remove all doubt."

@BriannaWu Give a read to @rich_goldberg & @mdubowitz at @FDD. They have a very different take on whether the strategy is failing, and, specifically, how the blockade during the ceasefire sets a clock ticking on the IRGC making a set of key decisions. They can't let the status quo persist.

[Ben Lanson @BenLanson]

@cenkuygur Did you see any "stand with Ukraine" signs? I did when I was there. I think these are called "alliances." Seems good to me.

[Ben Lanson @BenLanson]

@Osint613 Not sure how I feel about this. Based on what has happened so far, it doesn't seem as if he was that good at his job. Maybe we should have allowed him to continue in the role.

@Arrogance_0024 The flags in your signature are Polish and French. I can't tell if you are trying to be ironic or not, but if you are it is delightfully funny.

@realrabbilinda @EYakoby They do... APKWS II.

@JenniferJJacobs @JimLaPorta Obsolescent attritable systems...being attrited? How many manned aircraft has Iran managed to down?

[Ben Lanson @BenLanson]

@shadihamid Not only unpopular, but also uninformed! Something like 40% of all UN countries were founded after Israel. Do you have unpopular opinions on them too, or just Israel? Because if it's just Israel, then I have an opinion, too (that you may find "unpopular").

[Ben Lanson @BenLanson]

@sfrantzman Is this more complicated than "we hit a lot of targets" and "there are a lot more targets to hit?" Seems like both could be true.
