30/ The person next to you in the trenches is likely *not* someone you would befriend, sleep with, or even necessarily trust in certain *other* settings.

But they’re your fellow traveler on *this* task, this task *right here*, the *only one urgently before you this day*—and that *has* to be enough.

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.
The Meghan McCain right wing nonsense drought is over, I guess.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Top story when you go to The Guardian this AM. Which it is not when you go to the Washington Post or the NY Times. Apt language here, whereas WaPo describes the day as an airing of grievances as though we are a bunch of whining George Costanzas, not a vast public fearful of losing everything.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

I hate to break it to you Hakeem Jeffries. You, we, this nation does not have 5 years.
He has to defend them. They're his representative legion. Like hundreds (thousands?) of Charlie Kirks infecting our youth.

"Kids" whose lives "shouldn't be ruined" because of some "offensive jokes" online.

Over 21? Not kids.

Unlike 14 year-olds you advocate prosecuting as adults.

Don't ruin THEIR lives over vile "jokes."

But destroy anyone who hurt your feelings by saying Charlie Kirk was a racist.

Which he was.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

Chief Justice Roberts must be impeached
They're flooding the country with rapid fire unchecked and unprecedented crimes. Our media is either complicit or in fear of being swallowed up or shut down. This is whack a mole and not easy to choose which debacle to fight let alone know how to do it. We need to literally revolt.

🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“
