This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

“He’s not for labor. He’s just for the rich.” While ignoring Texans’ needs, Greg Abbott has accepted millions of dollars in campaign contributions from billionaires. We need elected officials that protect working Texans, not out-of-state billionaires that keep rigging the system against us.

On this day in 1863, Mary Church Terrell was born. She became a lifelong advocate for racial and sex equality. In the 1910s, she picketed the White House for woman suffrage. In 1953, at age 89, she won a Supreme Court judgment that racially segregating restaurants in DC was illegal. #WeTheMen

New approach: If a reporter is interrupted, harassed, insulted, or abused, the press should exit the room. Period. If Trump refuses to answer a legitimate news question or claims it was a dumb question, every other reporter must ask the same question until Trump tires out or answers.

Occupational medicine pioneer Dr. Harriet Louise Hardy was born #OTD in 1906. Her discovery of the link between industrial beryllium exposure and fatal lung disease forced the fluorescent lamp industry to completely eliminate the toxic metal in 1949. #WomenInSTEM 🧵
A black-and-white portrait of a close-up view of Dr. Harriet Louise Hardy (1906–1993), the pioneering physician, industrial toxicologist, and foundational trailblazer in occupational medicine who famously discovered the link between industrial beryllium exposure and fatal lung disease. In this stark, high-contrast photograph, Dr. Hardy is positioned in a three-quarter profile facing right. She has dark, thick, textured hair styled in a short, practical mid-20th-century crop that is swept off her forehead. Her expression is calm, resolute, and contemplative, with a subtle, closed-lip smile and a focused gaze that conveys an intellectual, serious, and dignified mood. She wears a structured, dark tweed or plaid patterned blazer with fine geometric lines. The background is a solid, neutral gray, keeping the composition completely focused on Dr. Hardy.
