Standing athwart the political divide and yelling STOP since 1987. Humans are imperfect & imperfectable: this is a feature, not a bug.
Here's hoping @CIADirector and/or @DNIGabbard declassify and release compartment version of the ICA soon. Not only would that allow Americans to see that the HPSCI report was accurate & not Republican spin (h/t @CynicalPublius for point) BUT it would also allow us to uncover 1/
'What you have by heart, the bastards cannot touch, they cannot take it from you ... What you don't know by heart, you really haven't loved deeply enough.' George Steiner on the importance of learning by heart. I've seen this countless times, and it never ceases to move me.

Senate confirms Whitney Hermandorfer, Trump's first federal judge of his second term in 46-42 vote to replace an Obama appointee. HUGE
The truth, and nothing but the truth. Watch, share, bookmark.
What are the pillars of Explicit Instruction? 1. Segment Complex Skills/Content 2. Drawing Student Attention to Key Features of Content via Modeling/Think-Alouds 3. Systematically Faded Supports 4. Opportunities to Respond/Receive Feedback 5. Purposeful Practice Opportunities
The most plausible interpretation for the fact scientific papers 50 years ago used to be so lucid and elegant but today are unreadable and irreproducible is that the quality of scientists has dramatically declined because standards have declined and there are too many of them
These 50 innocent people are still held hostage by Hamas. They're starved. They're abused. They're tortured. They're afraid. They're alone. Not a single Gazan has helped Israel get them back.
I don’t support or agree with all of ICE’s tactics or actions. I do fully support moves like these. This makes our nation more secure and all our children safer.
By this point today vs Trump 1.0: 2017: 55 noms confirmed. 2025: 107 noms confirmed. After confirming the President's entire cabinet at record pace, @SenateGOP is working w/ @WhiteHouse to prioritize all remaining confirmations. Like I've said, I'm in it. Let's get it done.
The Sydney Sweeney “has good genes” ads aren’t about white supremacy. There is no “racist undertone”, unless you choose to put it there. They’re about the end of cancel culture, which demonizes beauty, excellence, and virtue itself. Woke is dead, and beauty is back.
Did they mean to include a bunch of Nazi dog whistles in this
the **actual** biggest political story that no one talks about in redistricting is that the Census Bureau messed up their count in 2020 in a way that gave like 5-10 extra seats to blue states, ADMITTED they messed it up, but we all just sorta have to wait 10 years to fix it
The biggest political story no one is talking about? @chucktodd and I think it's the re-redistricting happening around the country. Full convo at link in my bio.
This is one of the most outrageous campus antisemitism stories I've ever heard - and I've seen/ heard 'em all. A Jewish student threatened with a gun by a fellow student and @UVA has still done NOTHING. The Feds need to return to UVA and hold their feet to the fire. See below 1/2
Socialism isn’t rising because capitalism failed. It’s rising because capitalism succeeded so well that people forgot what failure looks like. Capitalism created prosperity, comfort, innovation, and freedom on a scale humanity had never seen. And now, ironically, people raised…
Life under socialism is more miserable than life under capitalism.
We’ve confirmed @POTUS’ civilian nominees at double the pace of his first administration, despite President Trump being the only president on record to not have a single one confirmed by unanimous consent or voice vote. Even with historic obstruction from Democrats, we’re…
Julian Brown is safe, per his mother's statement to Daily Mail today. He's laying low for security after cryptic July 9 posts hinting at threats. His Plastoline tech, converting plastic to fuel via pyrolysis, is legitimate—tested and cleaner-burning than standard diesel.…
Raise your hand if you proudly support Israel. 🖐️ Let's break the fucking internet.
For too long, women’s health issues have not received the attention they deserve. Hormone replacement therapy in perimenopausal women is a classic example. The @US_FDA is interested in hearing from the public on this issue – a comment period is open now. regulations.gov/search?filter=…
Another update for you on our efforts to defend the homeland and protect the American people from our foreign adversaries. Alongside @USAttyPirro, we announced that American citizen Christina Chapman was sentenced to 102 MONTHS in prison for DEFRAUDING 309 US companies and…
The 1986 Vaccine Act gave vaccine makers immunity against lawsuits by children who suffer vaccine injuries. The statute, and numerous subsequent court decisions, recognized that vaccines, like all medicines, are, in the words of the American Academy of Pediatrics case,…
