There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

erininthemorning.comWe Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful LifeInfluential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

The U.S. has—had—one of the top intelligence operations in the world. What a resource to make informed decisions. Yet we have an ignorant WH occupant who relies on fringe conspiracists to spread false information. What a danger. What an embarrassment. What a tragedy.

Trump's DHS erroneously sent an email to Ukrainians legally living in the U.S. under a humanitarian program telling them their status had been revoked and they had seven days to leave the country or the "federal government will find you."

Nobody should be burning Tesla dealerships, but I’d like to see the Trump Administration tackle school shootings with the same urgency they’ve shown defending Musk. The government should be working for the betterment of all Americans, not just Trump’s billionaire buddies.

One of the appalling things that will stick with me? The Republicans’ laughter, “showcasing their cruelty and hostility toward people who are different than them. They are now in power, free to revel in their bigotry, free to engage in easy humiliation and hate.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

The unqualified Pete Hegseth fires a Black four-star general with a deep record of service. As if Gen. Charles Brown was just some D.E.I. hire. As if Hegseth is not some white hire, lacking in merit.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"
