This Memorial Day, we remember the brave Americans who laid down their lives in defense of our nation and values. We honor them with our enduring gratitude and respect — and by respecting and caring for the veterans who are still with us, their brothers and sisters in arms.

"I still believe our flag stands for something powerful. It reflects our shared values and reminds us that even in our darkest times, there is far more that unites us." As a Marine and public servant, Maura Sullivan carries the stories of the fallen and fights for the living.

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

NEW: Supreme Court says the Federal Reserve is protected from Trump removals

ICYMI, The Trump administration is using the claim that immigrants have “invaded” the country to justify possibly suspending habeas corpus, part of the constitutional right to due process. A faction of the far right has been building this case for years. @mtredden.bsky.social

Pete Hegseth is obsessed with the keeping media from discovering his bumbling incompetence. His solution to that is a new order seeking to deny press access to DOD and hunt down employees talking to the media. The Pentagon Press Assn is fighting back. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Beyond "spectacular." Just stop. @budget.senate.gov @housebudgetdems.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @democracynow.org @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social

All of these people are willing to give up any values, morals, or backbone they had because Trump is making them even richer. Beyond corrupt.

This is a POTUS will not and can not color within the lines — not to mention he doesn’t seem to notice what EVERYONE can see. This is a telling report.

Its journalistic commitment to telling "both sides," even when one side is dismantling democracy, means that the New York Times can never really warn us when rights are disappearing. fair.org/home/an-obje...

Foreigners should really approach visiting the US as we approach visiting Iran. Beautiful country, many friendly people, but the regime—the regime is lawless, and if you go you take your life into your own hands

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

The relationship between structural independence and the expertise and experience within an agency's policymaking workforce is significant and positive. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Last night, Senate Republicans went nuclear—overruling the parliamentarian to do the bidding of the fossil fuel industry. “I hope you sleep well at night with the consequences of your decisions in the years ahead.” –@padilla.senate.gov
