Deficiencies in education, critical thinking, and integrity are in full display in government leadership. We need a massive refresh in our expectations for civic leaders and in our understanding of how checks and balances work.

The US president just attacked a female bishop for saying Christian things in a Christian sermon, calling her a "so-called bishop", not "smart", and "not very good at her job."

And no one will blink an eye. It won't be a controversy or a big story. All normalized.

Welcome to the next 4 years.

Trump has signed an executive order declassifying files regarding JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr.

Weird how he didn't include Epstein in that list.

We need to continue to place some faith in our people, no matter how cloudy our future looks.
I love this thread so much.
Driving into work on this dark wintry morning, thinking about our moment & about folks I respect saying that “the America we’ve known is over” & the like. Saw the montage I’ve built next to my office door, & wanted to say a little about the America I know. 🗃️ Thread+

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Imagine pretending to believe - as Musk, Ackman etc are - that the Newsom/Bass response to the LA wildfires is worse than the Trump response to the pandemic. Studies suggest *tens of thousands* of Americans died needlessly as a result of Trump’s monumental mishandling of COVID.
