[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

FFS @daveweigel, this site really has turned your brain into jello.

No. TDS really is an attempt to avoid scrutiny for things that ARE unprecedented and DO deserve scrutiny.

This is just your confession that you didn't bother to do that scrutiny.

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

What’s wrong with him? It’s the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Sit up straight. Stay awake.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

"Capitalism is why people have to work" is very silly thing to say, but it's part of a grand tradition of blaming literally everything, no matter how absurd, on capitalism.

A short thread:

Media guy whenever Trump says or does something bad: “Wow if only there was someone who could tell the American people about this”

Nothing says merit like not nominating any FSOs to be ambassadors

[Department of State @StateDept]

The U.S. Department of State has put an end to the ideologically extreme and discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda, restoring merit, rigor, and accountability to the Foreign Service. https://t.co/AatUhpERTz

Hegseth’s blocking of promotions for high-ranking women in the military has contributed to the lowest percentage of such nominations for women in at least 25 years, according to a NYT analysis.

First they turned the frogs gay, now they're turning the mice trans

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Animals should not be used for radical transgender experiments.

This is not science. This is ideological cruelty paid for by the American taxpayers.

Our TRANS MICE Act ends it. No federal funds may be used to conduct, support, or fund research aimed at altering an animal's biological sex.

No hormones. No surgeries. No taxpayer dollars spent mutilating animals in the name of transgender ideology.

This legislation brings accountability, ends taxpayer-funded cruelty, and ensures science serves the public, not ideology.

Can't let your son's wedding get in the way of golf

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: Are you attending your son's wedding this weekend?

TRUMP: Uhhhh. He'd like me to go. I'm gonna try and make it. I said, 'This is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.'

[Vera Bergengruen @VeraMBergen]

Over 100 U.S. ambassador posts around the world are sitting empty in the Trump administration, a vacancy rate without modern precedent and one that some current and former officials warn is hamstringing U.S. diplomatic power abroad. @RobbieGramer https://t.co/ZjJwaftfOM
