Do people know about Steve Kerr’s father? Malcolm Kerr, one of the great Middle East scholars (his book “The Arab Cold War” is seminal) and, as president of the Amer Univ in Beirut, the 1st American killed by an Islamic Jihad gunman. In 1984, when Steve was 18.

There has been a steady erosion of civil-military relations in the US due to the politicization of the military. My own experience, in which my career was derailed after I reported a case of presidential corruption in 2019, is one high-profile example… https://t.co/a2DtgNGiCm

It's flown under the radar that this Administration has created a new $30/month high-speed internet benefit program that is already serving roughly as many lower-income households as SNAP. For many of these households, it's the difference between having internet access and not.

One of these Governors signed a bill to provide universal school meals for the state and the other signed a bill to encourage child labor. Look at the kids, they tell a story.

Learned some shocking statistics from the @StateDept today. Just shocking. 1/ THREAD
