I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.
So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.
This is a minor point but I subscribe to the Bulwark at relatively high rates because I assume it has a stronger commitment to journalistic integrity than, say, the Washington Post or Fox News:
The claim that Twitter has lost "millions of users" is not supported.
The linked article's own click-bait title says only "a million users" (that's not the same) and the actual data suggests that during Oct 27 to Nov 1 there were 877k deactivations and 497k suspensions, which is "more double the usual" (implying a regular churn in Twitter usership), with *no data* provided on number of sign-ups. So actually nothing is known from this article about total Twitter usership.
Even if you include both deactivations and suspensions together (1374k), double the usual seems to suggest only an additional *674k* deactivations or suspensions, so again not "millions." But who knows - the authors of that article were not trying to inform, just create a good headline out of a more nuanced, but incomplete MIT analysis.
tl;dr - no credible justification is cited for the claim that Twitter has "lost millions of users." A close reading of the article cited makes this clear. Maybe there is other data supporting this but I can only find more click bait.
