Wow - @NikkiHaley on Trump in an interview w @TimAlberta - “We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.” https://t.co/QPWiu1Sdek

Yes, Mary Louise, it is enshrined in law. My friend’s aunt got a ticket in the mail a few weeks ago for bad hejab. It was enforced through facial recognition technology. 6 months in, and journalists are still fixated on hijab. Ma’am, the people want the regime gone.

They call them Entitlements because you pay for them in a special, specific federal tax and are 'entitled' to your pre-paid benefits when you hit 65. Pass it on.

Well, we are on week five of this semester and I've already been handed a paper written by ChatGPT. They're not hard to spot if you know how the AI crafts 'answers' and the mistakes it makes, but now is the time to familiarize yourself with what that looks like.

I was in a meeting where Donald Trump asked a group of us to lay off XI and China telecom ZTE because he promised XI, and he doesn’t want to disappoint him. Bolton wrote about this, I can confirm. I was shocked.

I'm not sure people realize how big of a deal this is. High-altitude balloons might not be as sexy as autonomous weapons or hypersonics but I think they have the potential to be just as revolutionary for warfare, if not more so. 🧵 1/10

JUST IN: The US economy gained an astonishing 517,000 jobs in January – much better than expected. Unemployment rate: 3.4% --> Lowest in decades. Wages: +4.4% for past year (up 0.3% in January) Bottom line: This is NOT an economy in recession

Since "Chinese Spy Balloon" is trending: In 1945, the crew of USS New York spotted a sphere that they thought might be a Japanese balloon weapon. The captain ordered it shot down but none of the guns could score a hit. Finally, a navigator realized they were attacking Venus.

Incredible, 100% Long Island quote: “Santos is all I talk about in therapy,” said Great Neck resident Nina Gordon. “My therapist said: ‘He’s not worth the co-pay.’” https://t.co/wvu9dBuvck

In these times, the most extreme voices often get the mic. So here's your reminder that ~6% of people want to abolish the police. It's an idea that essentially only has currency on Twitter. It is opposed by almost everyone, regardless of race & class.

there is literally nothing left to write about police abuse and violence. Abolish the police.
