Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Five former defense secretaries denounced President Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, saying that the officers were “fired for purely partisan reasons” and urging Congress to hold hearings.

Oh my God. Donald Trump and JD Vance are attacking Zelensky in the Oval Office. This is a complete fucking embarrassment.

Trump is an idiot, a liar and a traitor. He and Vance are a disgrace to this country. This is humiliating to our country. Zelensky is the greater man. Trump is a charlatan.
