House Republicans are investigating a leaked glossary of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) terms passed around the National Security Agency, which they say provides a “deeply troubling” look into the “hiring and contracting processes” of the intelligence organization.

Reps. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.) wrote in a Tuesday letter to NSA Director Paul Nakasone that the glossary includes “incoherent” definitions of terms concerning gender, race and capitalism that could “harm national security.”

The GOP is worried an agency might start thinking about how things really are as opposed to how they wish it were.

You're at the intersection of house republicans and Rupert Murdock's tabloid. If it makes any sense to you, you should consult a doctor immediately.

Fragility is one of those perfect words that only sets off the people it describes. Like talking about "toxic masculinity" and watching dudes spit venom at other dudes as if anyone in the conversation is simply anti-dude.
