Sad, but true. There's profit to be had in helping people shoot each other.

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

@esglaude.bsky.social You were eloquent on The Weekend this morning. I hope you will please post the text of some of what you said about the people who are affected by the mindless attack on federal employees -- that our moral response should come from the realization these are our neighbors.

The fact that Trump was “celebrating” Black History Month, that Tiger Woods stood next to him, and that the room was full of Black people doesn’t change the obvious fact that white nationalism shapes the agenda of this administration.

Please watch this fantastic video by Chris Byrne! It's truly inspiring & incredibly well done! It may be the final push for those of you who are considering leaving your career & changing to photography. However, this is a very challenging business & you need to be truly passionate to pull through!

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

It’s shocking how little political reporters seem to know about the structure and function of government. We’ve replaced critical experts with access “journalists” that uncritically relay Republican talking points and fail to present basic facts

Former Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced today that he will not seek re-election next year, ending his more than 40-year career in the Senate. 40 years too long…

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

The American people don’t want their tax dollars to go to waste and fraud. They do want their tax dollars to go to national parks, which are enormously popular. But now thanks to Trusk our park experiences are becoming more difficult and less safe. apple.news/AtWckKVM0S36...

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

Musk? Absolutely a terrorist. The very kind the oath of office is supposed to protect us from: all enemies, foreign and domestic. Not elected, not vetted, no security clearance, no Congressional approval. Congress STAND UP!
