Caffeine needed. IPPS-A is coming, that doesn’t make it consensual. I have opinions, they’re usually sassy. I like history, natsec, and reading APD. Rage.
For real talk though. When we watch LOTR for the holidays, do y’all watch The Hobbit? The full extended edition of all six? What are y’all’s favorite parts?
@pptsapper I’d say to the heart of it, this stems from our evaluation and promotion system. Focus gets put on quantifiable metrics and deliverables because they can be counted as wrong as that is. We don’t look at leaders long enough to see how they lead just who they beat out to promote.
@birbigs Or that only a few months ago that it hadn’t killed nearly as many people as the flu, or car accidents, or any number of other things. Ignoring that this thing has not even been rolling for a whole year and they were acting like the numbers were in.
As long as we're represented by Senators like David Perdue, who sees public service as nothing but an opportunity to sell himself to the highest bidder, people will continue to suffer.
I’ve been thinking so much of @IlhanMN.
Trump made Minnesota explicitly about HER. Said he’d win because of her. Many Dems in DC believed him, & marginalized her.
That burden wasn’t fair, but she took on the challenge anyway. She won.
Credit and respect her. @RashidaTlaib too.
@th3j35t3r@AltDIA I just love their assumptions here. Y’all really think these unorganized cosplay militias could take any major city? Yeah okay... would love to see that C2 making that dream team happen.
@NBCNews A 0.1% tax on companies whose executives make more than 100x their employees... it’s sad that this is a progressive step because we need so much more.
Mr. President: You want a "big" stimulus package. Great! Call your friend Mitch and get the Senate to pass the $3.5 trillion HEROES Act passed by the House which provides $600 a week to the unemployed, a $1,200 check, and much more. Otherwise, please stop your erratic tweets.
The Senate/Russia story isn’t getting nearly enough pick up and the Senate GOP isn’t taking a hit for it.
Let's change that.

This is absolutely nuts, @TwitterSupport. My account was locked for quoting and fact-checking Trump, and I was forced to delete this tweet. Why am I getting punished for shining a light on the president's falsehoods?
Today on TV, the Deputy Director of the federal paramilitary force in #PDX discussed the infamous van video. He described a textbook example of an unconstitutional arrest.
But... he doesn’t seem to know it.
That is a BIG PROBLEM. Let’s unpack this. It’s important.
