Very good to see this from Senator Reed.
"If these reports are accurate, Secretary Hegseth’s decision to remove four decorated officers from a promotion list after having been selected by their peers for their merit and performance is not only outrageous, it would be illegal."

Oh good. A tutorial right now from former Fox employee Hegseth on how to do journalism.
Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”
Let’s please resist sharing the racist image posted by the current president of the United States.
And let us remember that we are allies in the fight for justice always, or not at all. We must condemn this, loudly and without equivocation.

A perfect start to my day.
Congratulations, Thrity Umrigar. Your new novel, Missing Sam, is a gift for our weary souls.

To quote Bovino from yesterday’s news conference, he made a “choice.” And out he goes.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Ali Velsi @velshi.com and the @ms.now team are doing an outstanding job with breaking news coverage of this horrendous scene in Minneapolis.
Patriots.
On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.
Every day, in multiple and despicable ways, the Trump administration is lying to us.

My mother raised me to know this version of God’s work. Bear witness, speak out, and do all that we can to fight injustice.

My Lord, this rudderless rant by the Embarrassment in Chief.
The things we now have to explain.
She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
No number of them, I should have written.
Take a breath, dear Kevin. We’ll hold the note until your return.
Jan. 6, 2021: Sherrod leaving for D.C. at 5:09 a.m. No amount of presidential pardons & shameful attempts to rewrite history will change what I remember about the violence on our Capitol that day. For nearly 45 minutes, we could not determine Sherrod’s whereabouts, or whether he was even alive.
Sometimes, I run out of walk before I run out of worry. Still, I’m grateful for the view.
What’s on your mind this evening?
Gift link, as I encourage you to read this in its entirety. We have work to do, fellow Americans. We are up to the challenge, if we choose to be.

At 4:43 a.m., he decided the only place he could sleep was in my study, so this is where we are. For fourteen years he has followed me everywhere. My turn.

Yet another illustration of how adoration so desperately sought forever eludes the undeserving. You can force people to pretend to love you, but no one is fooled.
Yelling, lying; yelling, lying; yelling, lying. So inspiring.
