Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid.

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

The US conducted 1026 nuclear tests up to 1992, plus 28 in collaboration with the UK. 78.5% of those were underground detonations at the Nevada National Security Site. sgp.fas.org/crs/nuke/R45...

Even If Zelensky jumped the gun at the announcement (a SKorean Rep confirmed jt actually took place days prior to the announcement) the idea that announcing POWs that were going to be repatriated "were sent to SKorea" is enough to cause a serious escalation is unrealistic and dishonest.

A lot of conspiratorial rhetoric lies upon large swathes of unreliable data to appear credible, 'data' so numerous as to make picking each point apart individually basically impossible for a sane person. I suppose a model can just sit with a person and unceasingly dismantle arguments.

Every answer in this interview is more bonkers than the previous one. Is the national media ready for a conversation about the President's mental fitness yet? @jaketapper.bsky.social, perhaps a book or something is in order?

Trump quote:

Okay, and people look at it. People came up. President Xi looked at it two days ago. He said, "This is beautiful. Much better than I…" He was here 25 years ago with Obama. Think Obama knows it? Obama would not. He doesn't know if something's dirty or clean.

They’re not defending Eric Schmitt so much as defending the conspiracy theory defense of Trump’s coup attempt. By mixing up sports teams when lying to discredit Jack Smith, Schmitt made an error that cannot stand: instantly disproven on something so easy to grasp that insinuation doesn’t work.

There are only a handful of orgs who do serious open source research on the PLA. This is not only a huge help to the IC, it serves a niche that the IC is unable to fill--namely mass education across the joint force, USG, and public on the threat we face and how they think and operate.

Unlike Trump, President Obama respected the Catholic Church — even when he disagreed with it. He didn’t call the pope “terrible.” He didn’t post images mocking the deceased pope. And he most certainly didn’t depict himself as Christ. As he said at Notre Dame, the Church made Obama a better man.
