As veterans we hold a special place in this society. People trust us, they listen to us, so we must lead by example; not with anger, but with integrity. Not with partisanship, but with principals. We know what real sacrifices look like.

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

A few years ago I tweeting out the math showing a similar conclusion to this study. @chrislhayes.bsky.social retweeted it and it ended up getting 4 million views overall. (My twitter history is no more) The math checks out. Growing corn for fuel is peak stupidity in 2025.

We have wandered the solar system for six decades with probes and rovers and telescopes and astronauts. We have never encountered a place that even remotely rivals the air-blessed, life-bejeweled beauty of our planet. To be here amid all those miracles, and with YOU! Happy #EarthDay, friends.

Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Just keep in mind: The day will come when America is no longer held hostage by a sociopath, a convicted felon, an arsonist and a vengeful, narcissistic sadist who revels in the pain and suffering of others and builds his fortune on the ruins of public liberty. May it come soon.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

Destroy DOGE, undo every bit of its work, and render every DOGE employee unemployable in their professional field for life. End their careers and shame them in every way we can. And make them see that we fixed the government and everything they did was for naught.

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.

On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

American academic research is the envy of the world. Its system of grant making, which is ultra competitive and rigorous, has been emulated by many countries. And now, as US competitors were doubling down in their STEM investments, we decided that self-inflicted harm was the way forward.

🇺🇦Why should the US have any say in Ukraine’s future? They’ve abandoned traditional allies, betrayed Ukraine in its hour of need, and squandered trust across Europe. This is a European war with European consequences. The EU, UK, and Ukraine should decide. Not Washington.
