Doesn't really seem like you'd want to deploy this group of people to patrol American streets.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing

I don't see why they had to get rid of all the icing instead of just the "am"
Harris’ team had ‘Madam President’ cupcakes prepared on election night. “Harris’s social secretary peeled icing that read ‘Madam President’ off the cupcakes that had been ordered for the occasion, and sent them out to the campaign staffers” https://t.co/kJ0ilTH6mU

"Deploying the National Guard is about many things, but it is not about fighting crime. If Trump were serious about that, he would deploy different federal resources, and none of them would involve people in military uniforms," writes @RachelBarkow Read: https://t.co/pWtjuIK2Tq

I really hope people with credibility and authority like @Martina @andyroddick @BillieJeanKing speak out against this and demand an apology from the USTA
I am a member of the USTA because I like to play and support tennis, but I will not be part of an organization that promotes this kind of fascist censorship. This is unacceptable @usta.

The USTA calling on ESPN to censor the crowd reaction when Donald Trump is announced Sunday is outrageous. No broadcaster or media member should ever agree to such a thing. It’s not like there won’t be thousands of social media posts showing the video anyway.

I think this thread tells you everything you need to know about JD Vance and the way he views law and order. Pathetic. He should be impeached for this tweet.

Critics of Illinois’ bail reform warned it would fuel crime and reduce court appearances. Since its enactment, violent & property crime have dropped below pre-COVID levels and failure-to-appear rates have dropped. One can't draw causation but clearly these predictions were wrong.

It remains shameful the Senate confirmed RFK Jr. - and will ever be thus.

There is no excuse for the world to stand by and watch two million human beings suffer on the brink of full-blown famine. A starving human being needs food today, not tomorrow. People of good conscience must stop the starvation in Gaza. https://t.co/zI5oDL5R48
