@SecDuffy Stop lying, Duffy. You know damn well that the painting was moved because of complaints from 17 Academy midshipmen, faculty, and staff — not "ONE 'concerned citizen.'" Does your Jesus now condone lying? Is that a good Christian lesson to teach to the midshipmen?

On Good Friday, we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. During my visit to the US Merchant Marine Academy, I spoke with an amazing group of young midshipmen about Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. A complaint from ONE “concerned citizen” got the Academy’s beautiful & historic “Christ on the Water” painting relegated out of the hall where it was displayed, to the basement, where it’s rarely seen. We shouldn’t have to hide our faith, regardless of our religion. I think there’s no better time than Easter to bring Jesus out of the basement and back to a place where our brave and strong merchant marines can draw inspiration from it. What do you think about Jesus in the basement?

@AlbertoSaavedra So sorry, Al.

My brother Rodolfo passed away today and he joined my brother Eduardo. One day I will join them.

@JeffSharlet There's definitely something untoward going on. I used to see tweets from you at least once a day, but this is the first one I've seen in quite a while.

@RightWingWatch Here's my 2010 debunking of the Deuteronomy claim & where it came from. The vid starts 3 mins. in because I was messing around for the first 3 mins., although if you want to hear me play the Star Spangled Banner on the guitar, watch from the beginning. ;-) youtube.com/watch?v=fm2OVu…

Charlie Kirk baselessly claims that the Founding Fathers quoted Deuteronomy more than any other source and that "out of Deuteronomy comes the civil law, this idea of separation of powers, an independent judiciary."

"Charlie Kirk is just not a competent student of history and certainly not of the Bible."

Was Deuteronomy central to the US founding? (Responding to @charliekirk11) tiktok.com/t/ZT8YsvEGA/

@troyphoto @MikeyWeinstein Thank you, Troy!

@ThatEricAlper A senator talks on and on in a filibuster.

@andrealgilmore Yes. Over 50% of my state has been vaccinated, but that still means there are a lot of unvaccinated people around. And now with the Delta variant out there, which the vaccines are somewhat less effective against, I think it's a good idea.

@bryanbehar So, Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks the California wildfires were started by space lasers? Hmmm ... who was it that started the Space Force? And then space lasers set a BLUE state on fire? Coincidence? I think not.

Okay, you know how all California forest fires are started by space lasers? Well, these are different. These are started by Jewish-owned space lasers. Thanks Dr. Marjorie Taylor Greene for clearing up the science on that.

Trump got the same number of votes to impeach him as he did electoral votes – 232. I went and bought a Pick 3 ticket for tonight for 232. #ImpeachmentDay

More fun with MAGA typos. Lin Wood has appealed his Georgia case that he lost in the Eleventh Circuit to the Supreme Court. And time is of the essence! They must act before IGNORATION Day!!!

@JeffSharlet DENIED FOR LACK OF STANDING!!!!! supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…

@JeffSharlet I've checked the Court's site at least a dozen times already today. This is a bizarre kind of torture.

Just over 200 years ago, our country was also on the verge of a secession of that day's "red" states. The story, with many other parallels to what we're seeing now, is told in my latest book. That story had a happy ending. Will ours? #SeditiousSeventeen amazon.com/dp/B08FXQMY26
