@scottjshapiro Scott, we miss you over here in the twitterverse. Come back

@justinbaragona “Look, I didn’t cheat on you dear, I was just exploring other potential relationship opportunities”

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

10 years ago today

GOP Sen. Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter, or my mother, or any of my five sisters, the way Mr. Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world.”

@Aviation_Intel veryone will look a little bit nicer
When you finally meet the Devil, oh

[Larold @larold_renwick]

@Aviation_Intel When we're all hung out to dry
By our saviour technocrats
It won't matter if you're neocon
Or a maga Democrat
When the war gets here
We're all gonna hold hands
All the Baptists and the Catholics
All the Marxists and the Fascists
When the war gets here
We're gonna get on the level

@MattWhitmanTMBH @SteveOnSpeed Honest question Matt: What is it that Musk has done to influence you to want a Tesla more? From my perspective, he’s the classic over promise, under deliver, then move the goal posts kind of a guy. Like, fully self driving car has been promised for a decade.

@reedgalen @TheRickWilson Zero class, zero understanding of history and how diplomacy works. What an embarrassment

[Larold @larold_renwick]

@Deseret @mckaycoppins @GovCox It’s wild to me that 2 weeks ago he essentially shoves it down our throats, and now when asked about the reality that Utahns feel this way, he basically says, “yeah I hate it when shove things down my throat”. What?

[Stephen Sestanovich @SSestanovich]

Goldwater cites another abuse: “to pile up voters where voters don’t usually pile up” (and keep listening until he talks about how intimidated businessmen would have to go along with a too-powerful president)…

[Firing Line with Margaret Hoover @FiringLineShow]

Yuval Levin of @AEI says by centralizing power, @newtgingrich didn’t just reshape Congress—he weakened it, turning lawmakers into loyalists and the speaker akin to a prime minister.

“The idea that the speaker should function as a kind of prime minister, that he should be able to wield Congress as a weapon against the president of the other party, ended up meaning that the rest of the members of Congress look to party leaders for direction.”

“In many ways this would be James Madison's nightmare,” said @RosenJeffrey, CEO emeritus of the @ConstitutionCtr.

Remember, ending air-defense aid to Ukraine is JD Vance's proudest accomplishments as Vice President.

@atrupar What happened to all the MAGAs saying “Religious figures need to stay out of politics”?

[Larold @larold_renwick]

@Acyn @atrupar I find this so offensive and sacrilegious. I seriously cannot fathom how a Christian would be okay with this? The literal Son of God was murdered and died for our sake. How could they compare the two?

@nukestrat @KofmanMichael Aren’t flip hatches less hardened than say a sliding hatch? Curious why we would abandon this precedent.

@RyanMcbeth @SpencerGuard @ComicDaveSmith Hi Ryan, as usual, I really appreciate your balanced approach to these kind things. My question is this: It is always sub-ideal for an adversary to have nukes, but help me understand how a nuclear-Iran would change our deterrence strategy? I see close parallels to N. Korea.
