1) No words can explain how sad it is that @JDVance and @marcorubio sold their sense of decency for power in this administration. @JDVance , @marcorubio , just for one sec imagine what it would be like for you if your kid, or your family member, needed $0.12 a day to stay alive
"no one has died" because of feeding USAID to the woodchipper, Elon claimed. In this devastating piece the NYT went out and learned some of their names and stories:
2) but we decided it wasn't worth it to pay that. Instead we're wasting likely millions of dollars just shuttling migrants to and from Gitmo (https://t.co/u2qjIAEGyX) because you all want a nice photo-op. What a God-damn shame you two are.
I volunteer myself as tribute to go on @joerogan and explain to him how many of his recent guests are just feeding him absolute bullshit. Thank you for your support
Pitch-perfect response to Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin from @GeorgetownLaw Dean Bill Treanor.
It’s always a privilege and honor to be part of the GULC community (and to be Bill’s colleague), but *especially* today.
My grandfather enlisted in the @USNavy at the age of 17. Got on a train from St. Louis to Farragut, Idaho for basic training in February, learned to swim in freezing waters. He was everything you’re not. I’m ashamed of you, and I know he would be too.
This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine. It ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the Oval Office and whispers from the White House that they may try to end all U.S. support for Ukraine. I know foreign policy is not for the faint of heart, but right now, I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin, a threat to democracy and U.S. values around the world.
Hi all. Breaking my Twitter silence to make a statement on behalf of myself here. NOAA, the parent agency of the @NWS indiscriminately fired a number of employees yesterday. A thread of comments & advice for those fired. 1/18
I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.
Jesse Marsch is outspoken on 51st state rhetoric.
"It's unsettling and frankly insulting... as an American, I'm ashamed of the arrogance and disregard we've shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies."
Hagan Scotten served three tours of duty as a Special Forces officer in Iraq, won two Bronze Stars, then came home, went to Harvard Law, and clerked for John Roberts. And we're losing him as a federal prosecutor because Trump wanted to cut a deal with Eric Adams. Travesty.
With all due respect, you also told us to calm down (and essentially shut up) after Biden’s debate. A lot of house cleaning to be done no matter what happens here.
John Giles, the Republican Mayor of Mesa, AZ, at the Harris rally:
“I do not recognize my party...In the spirit of the great Senator John McCain, please join me in putting country over party and stopping Donald Trump”

The Google commercial where the dad has his daughter use AI to construct a note to her favorite athlete rather than encourage her to write what she actually wants to tell her hero takes a little chunk out of my soul every time I see it.
@pronounced_kyle@DanielleFong I got sucked into the original hype without just skimming the paper. Thanks to @BradyHaran and @sixtysymbols I realized it was super bad science. I hope someone can produce solid results at some point but I have low confidence it’ll come from this group.
