@jephjacques Ok, fire under performers, but why post it on Twitter? Just to rub salt into the wound?

@GeorgePapa19 The article claims there’s “overt politicization against conservatives and conservative organizations.” Really? Tell that to all the liberals they’ve investigated. The only reason they have it out for Trump is because he’s a crook.

@CarbonBrief @AyeshaTandon @nemvaughan @efesce @joanna_portugal @AndyJWiltshire All the more reason to develop biofuels from kelp.

@CBSNews Why on earth would anyone listen to RFK Jr when vaccines have been proven over and over again to be one of the safest, most effective medical interventions in human history? Or maybe we’d all prefer to live in a world with smallpox and polio.

@Maria43811499 @CBSNews Free speech does not include yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. And that’s exactly what Kennedy has been doing for years.

@FlyingJayDee @CBSNews It’s called science. And while scientists aren’t always right, I’ll take their word over a politician’s any day, especially since their views are supported by numerous peer-reviewed studies.

@PeterSweden7 So all the rest of the world should be subject to climate hell because driving an electric car would limit your freedom?

I never thought I’d find anything I liked about Dick Cheney until now. https://t.co/L8xbyydDqI

“In our nation’s 246 year history there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our Republic than Donald Trump.” Dick Cheney

@AngeMarieH @OhioState @KirwanInstitute @osupolisci I’m happy for you but so sorry to see you leave USC. It was such a pleasure working with you!

@marinab52 Cleaning supplies?

[Lance Ignon @LanceIgnon]

@laurahelmuth So sorry you were harassed. Increasingly, people have so little tolerance for ideas that don’t comport with their narrow world view, such as the fact that animal agriculture is a leading cause of climate change, species extinction and growing water scarcity.

@AOC “I will explain this to you slowly” is the most condescending way I can think of to start any kind of message. I agree with much of AOC’s politics, but I couldn’t get past this opening. I suggest that someone slowly explain to her how off-putting this is.

@MattLeinartQB Lawlessness is in the rise but not even close to unprecedented.

Carbon dioxide emissions, together with other greenhouse gases such as methane ... are trapping energy equivalent to the detonation of five Hiroshima-style atomic bombs per second.

@USCPrice @AVindman A great keynote speech about the value and rewards of public service and personal integrity.

@kalmantibs Tubor. I’m married to a Hungarian and deeply attached to the country — and heartbroken at this outcome. Would it be wise to eject Hungary from the EU until it reestablishes democratic norms? It would push it even closer to Russia, but there have to be consequences for Orban.
