@SahanJournal⁩, why is ⁦@StarTribune⁩ ⁦@faiza_mahamud⁩ disrespecting the Somali-American community by ignoring its elected officials?

Why elect anybody?

No point.

Minnesota Somali community on edge over FBI fraud allegations. startribune.com/minnesota-soma…
@keithellison, you previously represented Minneapolis in Congress; I recall supporting, from afar, your first campaign.

What do you think about @StarTribune ignoring elected federal officials re a federal activity affecting her constituents?

2/
Similarly, if elected state-level officials are also ignored, and nobody notices, is that the soft bigotry of low expectations?

Rather sad, actually.

If the community has lost confidence in elections, perhaps they should consider voting Against incumbents in the future.

3/3

@Maru_Mara76 @radleybalko @JoeBiden @SenFeinstein @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer The others are certainly fine public servants, etc., but key for the institution - the House, @TheDemocrats - is to develop the next generation before they become like @SenFeinstein.

Quit while you’re ahead.

This concerns House leadership, not as a Member of Congress.

1/
@Maru_Mara76 @radleybalko @JoeBiden @SenFeinstein @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @TheDemocrats If Nancy Pelosi runs for re-election in San Francisco, that’s up to her constituents.

But if @HouseDemocrats haven’t developed the next generation, well, that’s on them.

Quit while you’re ahead, and enjoy life as a distinguished states-person.

2/
@Maru_Mara76 @radleybalko @JoeBiden @SenFeinstein @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @TheDemocrats @HouseDemocrats Similarly for President @JoeBiden.

He should not seek re-election and @TheDemocrats should not nominate @KamalaHarris in 2024.

It’s time to pass the torch, before they drop it.

Senator Feinstein should not have sought re-election in 2018, but she did, and won.

@jonsoltz @charlesw0781 This is Not a “redline” speech; it does come close, however.

Back in August 2012, then-President Obama actually said, “red line,” one of the greatest strategic blunders since President Bush 43 choosing to invade Iraq in 2002-2003.

You want to keep them guessing.

1/
@jonsoltz @charlesw0781 Keep them guessing re your redlines.

Keep them guessing how you will respond.

When Obama said, “red line,” he was obligated to respond after they crossed it.

Otherwise, America would have lost credibility, at minimum.

@jerryteixeira @ChrisTauber11 Yes, absent permission in some form, it’s just rude.

What I don’t understand is why don’t (female) recipients of such unrequested material just share it publicly?

Sort of like what undoubtedly happened with @azizansari after Grace described her date with him on babe dot net

1/
@jerryteixeira @ChrisTauber11 @azizansari Undoubtedly, he’s receiving lots of communications from adult women, fully in control of their own respective destinies, saying, “I love white wine!” with photos and contact information.

@aravosis Individual NATO members, by themselves or with others, may choose to get involved, but are unlikely to do so without NATO okay.

Why?

Because if Russia attacks a NATO member acting on its own, well, maybe other NATO members will invoke Article V, or maybe not.

1/
@aravosis Seriously, NATO member(s) choosing to declare - and enforce - a No Fly zone over Ukraine 🇺🇦 would be a major escalation and a Big Deal.

That requires political approval from each country, as is correct.

@bluevirginia Since they are already on the Court with life tenure, etc., frankly, you’re not helping - at all - by complaining about the past.

Seriously, @TheDemocrats nominated @HillaryClinton, worst candidate ever, highest negative name recognition in recorded history.

1/
@bluevirginia @TheDemocrats @HillaryClinton @HumaAbedin left no tip at Chipotle Maumee Ohio Monday April 13, 2015.

Remember, tips are good karma and karma never lies.

Hillary skipped Wisconsin and lost the election.

No surprise.

2/
@bluevirginia @TheDemocrats @HillaryClinton @HumaAbedin Respectfully, if you expect the other side of the aisle to acknowledge election results and look forward to the future, rather than wallowing in past grievances, you need to do the same yourself.

Seriously, the final comment in your tweet diminishes your credibility.

@DanLamothe⁩, ⁦@CENTCOM⁩ can best help by making it easier to request Letters of Recommendation for SIV and to request P2 referrals.

Biden’s pick to lead military in Middle East says U.S. has a ‘moral obligation’ to help Afghans left behind washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
@USACEHQ has created a simple system that at least intends to try to be helpful, though tracking the next steps after confirmation of employment under a USACE-supported contract is still pending.

@afghanevac

2/
There are people of good will trying to help but require an active organization at @CENTCOM with whom to communicate about how to validate claimed employment or for current officials to prepare Letters of Recommendation, etc. for SIV, P2.

Will CENTCOM walk the walk?
