So...the decision to shoot down the thing was done on Weds. We monitored it, jammed its sensors, and gained intel on its capabilities, waited until it was out range where a crash could cause civilian harm, shot it down, and this is what is causing a million MAGAs to lose it.

I’m reading the replies to my earlier COVID post & the saddest part is the total rejection of vaccines & masks from right-wing Twitter. These people have been fed a bunch of lies & BS from right-wing media & elected officials — & they are now completely anti-science & facts.

As Tommy Lee Jones famously asked another actor in The Fugitive, “Do you want to change your bullshit story?”
We now know Trump let 3 Chinese balloons pass through U.S. airspace without shooting them down.
What’s your story now?

I just spoke with our GREAT America First President Trump.
He would have never allowed China to fly a spy balloon over our country and our military bases and assets.
Pres Trump would have shot it down before it entered the US.
And so would I.

Donald Trump presided over not 1, not 2, but THREE Chinese spy balloons, none of which he shot down and all of which he hid from the public.
The 3 Chinese spy balloons exposes the emptiness of Trump’s tough talk.
Thank you President Biden for walking the walk.

These books are a must read for everyone. My favorite book is to Kill a Mockingbird because it tells the story of racism and bigotry in the south. This is a wonderful collection of books that should not be banned. Read them!!

Let's talk about the Chinese spy balloon that's somewhere over the Northern Continental US now. There's a lot of speculation by folks (see Fox and Friends) who have zero experience with this. So, let your friendly neighborhood defense analyst have a crack at it. 1/n

I’m not worried about a damn Chinese spy balloon floating around in the sky over the country. I’m more worried about Russian spy balloons waddling around on the ground committing treason and getting away with it.

Not finding or funding candidates in “unwinnable” races is exactly why we can’t win. It’s a long game. Rural candidates act as organizers. They set up the next serve—eventually we win. #NoSeatUncontested

A guy walked into a junior high in my district today, took out a gun, and killed himself with it. Right in front of everyone.
It would have been a national story back when we were sane.
But today, no coverage. It's not a story.
It's just a Thursday in #Ohio.

If Trump is a domestic terrorist, then so is everyone who helped him plot to overthrow our government.
Including the tyrannical governor who plotted the fake elector scheme, Ron DeSantis.
Media needs to stop treating these two like they're normal candidates.

Strange thing this piece. He muses on reasons for excess deaths does a good job of zeroing on most plausible explanation (undercounting COVID deaths), which & others who work on these issues have suggested, then backs off. 1/
