Scoop: House Oversight is officially investigating military use of facial recognition, according to a letter sent to top military officials this year obtained by @ozm through a FOIA request.

I am not doubting that Brooks has encountered some real live humans in his day. But we rarely meet them in his published work, perhaps because real people are idiosyncratic and often surprising. Instead we meet composites who perfectly encapsulate the points he wants to make.

Earnestly I think that if a journalist wants to convey the views of a certain group of people, he should talk to some of those people rather than just making up what he thinks they very well might say.

Gotta say I respect the guy for getting out of his bubble, coming here to the very real place where I live, and talking to me, a real person. Would have been easy to just sit there in his gated D.C. house and make up some composite character that supports all his preconceptions. twitter.com/twopartysucks/…

Anyhow, I have to get back to my tattered community and talk to my broken family about complex issues like why urban and rural America are drifting further apart. But if I don't read at least 6 more hinterland safaris about Trump voters sticking with him, I'm sticking with him.

Hi it's me. I don't have the luxury of following Twitter all day because I'm too busy being actual and real. But I heard some of you cultural liberals have been doubting my existence so I'm just here to say I am definitely a real human and not a sockpuppet David just made up.

Flyover Man read every one, and clipped them to his wall. Just a few more and he’d have become a Warren voter. We were so close!

Is that what this is? They're assuming that... people from Philly are willing to pay three times more to fly to Columbus than people from Baltimore?

This is the same airline, same plane, same time, same exact flight from Philadelphia. Yet I have to pay American Airlines an extra $260 *not* to fly from Baltimore to Philadelphia first.
If you can explain how this makes sense, I will buy you a cheesesteak *and* a crab cake.

Wanted to fly from Philadelphia to Columbus but the tickets were too expensive ($390).
So then I check Baltimore to Columbus and it's a fraction of the price ($130). Great!
But there's one downside: I have to make a connection. Guess where the flight connects through.... pic.twitter.com/vt6jXICOng
