Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog Every voter should be a taxpayer who can pass an 8th grade civics exam. John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang I'd settle for every president being a taxpayer who can pass an 8th grade civics exam.

It’s ironic to hear the rights rhetoric about what is and isn’t an insurrection.

Mike Pence could have used the National Guard that day—perhaps before they erected gallows.

Text reads “NOT AN INSURRECTION.”

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

A White House official is under scrutiny after discussing plans to send an elite army unit — the 82nd Airborne — to #Portland.

Aide Patrick Weaver said Hegseth wanted Trump’s approval “if anything goes sideways,” per the Minnesota Star Tribune.
Signal Controversy.. AGAIN 🤦🏻‍♂️ A 'PRIVATE' SIGNAL CHAT FROM PETE HEGSETH'S OFFICE WAS LEAKED Stephen Miller's deputy, Anthony Salisbury, was photographed while using Signal, where Sec. Hegseth's messages were visible

Heard the guy abducting families, building concentration camps, and unleashing military occupations on civilians is upset about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize

These are not serious people
Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle Either Trump gets it or the @NobelPrize Committee disbands.

Bari Weiss making plain she knows as much about journalism as Elon Musk knows about government. What will be the CBS equivalent of USAID?

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

We all know the real reason #Trump is mad about the Nobel Peace Prize..
ON THIS DAY - (technically yesterday, I’m slow) In 2009, former President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

Old enough to remember when America was called a “melting pot” and diversity was celebrated as one of its defining strengths.

I absolutely love #Portland — and I hope we see protest costumes spread wherever #trump invades.
