So much for a “meritocracy.”
Last night at the Pentagon, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismantled a core principle of American democracy: the apolitical military.
Let me explain what’s going on and why it is deeply dangerous for our country: 🧵
2.4% of the population of the USA is Jewish.
17.4% of Team USA in the @NHL 4 Nations Face-off is Jewish.
Move over baseball. Hockey is the Jewish sport.
This is not just good advice. It is the *best* advice.
And any man who has ever met with any success that he did not simply inherit (see, e.g., Trump and Musk) damn well knows it.
Kristen Faulkner didn't start cycling until after school at Harvard.
In 2021, she quit her job as a venture capitalist to pursue it.
She wasn't even supposed to race today until a teammate resigned.
She's now the first American to win gold in the women’s road race in 40 years.
There’s a couple breaking up so loudly on the sidewalk in front of my house! He said WHO ARE YOU GONNA TAKE TO YOUR SISTER’S WEDDING NEXT WEEKEND? She said MOZZARELLA STICKS! Which is a valid and devastating blow.
Over 100 goals for Arsenal is some feat.
In 2012-13 alone, he scored 21 goals and made 16 assists. If we had a player who produced those numbers this season, we'd be ecstatic.
Enjoy your retirement, @theowalcott.
