This is an important thread. It seems weirdly disrespectful to try to turn Kirk into something he clearly despised.

“Should Dems tone down their rhetoric?” Um, the President shared a meme of him invading Chicago with military helicopters and renamed the Department of the Defense to the Department of War. And that’s just this week.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Regardless of anything else about the Wisconsin race, it's just a relief to learn that money can't always buy elections

I've worked at the White House for both Democrat and Republican Presidents and I've never seen this kind of mishandling of classified info. It's sloppy at best and puts the military involved in these sensitive operations at risk. Let me explain why. 🧵
