While fighting in Fallujah my squad unexpectedly ended up at a large base outside the city after one of our guys got hit and had to be medevaced.

The @realDonaldTrump Administration sending every Israeli student home from @Harvard is much more discriminatory against Jews than anything Harvard has ever done by any definition.

@meiselasb @SRuhle It’s not Home Shopping Network, it’s how to buy influence.

@roddreher @daveweigel He could, but clearly doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to do that— yet he’s the R nominee.

@Timodc To the degree that extolling Biden’s virtues— the decency, and respect for the American experiment— provides a stark contrast to the orange alternative it’s a positive. The next three nights will be about Harris, Walz and the future.

@JamesFallows And @nytimes seems immune from or blind to critique.
