ICYMI: Trump also purged two women in military leadership and JAG officers who ensure the military acts lawfully. And this comes after he fired the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — who the least qualified Secretary of Defense ever appointed claimed was only hired because he was Black.

Today is George Washington’s 293rd birthday. It’s a good day to heed the warning from his farewell address that love of power could result in despotism, authoritarianism, and tyranny. To prevent this, we must uphold proper checks and balances to limit this power.

Today, I spoke to 13News Now about rumors Trump may fire General CQ Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump has since fired him. Trump is purging those who put their oath to preserve, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution over blind loyalty to him.

📹 Profound fear. That is what FBI agents and their loved ones feel right now. Kash Patel’s confirmation as FBI Director will make that worse. I stand ready to limit the damage he will inflict under the Trump Administration.

Ahead of the winter storm slated to hit Virginia later today, NWS Wakefield VA is providing Virginia residents with the information we need to prepare. If Trump and Elon Musk had their way, @nws.noaa.gov wouldn’t exist — and families would be left without access to weather updates.

Presidents’ Day falls during #BlackHistoryMonth, and the #BHM2025 theme focuses on labor. Today is a good day to learn about the over 300 known enslaved men, women and children who built and staffed the White House. Their story is part of the fabric of American history.

History shows that appeasing an authoritarian dictator with dreams of expanding his territory by force does not work. I joined @newsnation.bsky.social to discuss developments in the war in Ukraine.
