With all the anger and division in this country right now, we want to take time this Memorial Day weekend to remember those who fought and died for this country. Their sacrifice is worth honoring. We hold their friends and families in our hearts.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses. YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE. Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

A Senator just said something shocking on live TV that has the Internet buzzing. It’s not what you’d expect from a Republican — and it’s definitely not what Trump wants to hear. What was the stunning news Senator John Curtis made today?
