did @jaketapper delete his tweet because he knows left-leaning media isn’t anywhere near as ideologically warped as Fox News, and drawing false equivalences between them is part of the reason we’re in this mess? pic.twitter.com/FgA6GCxGVu

I put myself in the Pundit Circle of Shame for failing to voice a swift, ferocious and uninformed opinion claiming Biden screwed up the Afghanistan withdrawal. It was a golden opportunity to appear "fair" without actually knowing what I’m talking about.https://t.co/f1G86VNHGO

Racist Republican prick says what --
This is actually worse than described. Patrick is not simply saying fewer black people are vaccinated, he’s saying black people vote for Democrats so it’s not his responsibility. https://t.co/mXhrAIUxUI

Pro- stupidity authoritarianism --
My god, this DeSantis oaf has dug in. This feels like a real test case for just how electorally palatable pro-stupidity authoritarianism will be post-Trump. Here's hoping enough Floridians come to their senses. (I'm a native Floridian, so I realize this might be a stretch.) https://t.co/AWDIMWGfFE

Deeply religious and feral Trump supporters --
I’m shocked that he’s also antisemitic. https://t.co/BuBHL3WdYc

it's weird how a feral Trumper brought the capitol complex to a halt yesterday with a bomb threat and ... well, i guess it was only a 12 hour story
