@MilitaryCooI Frank Woodruff Buckles (February 1, 1901 – February 27, 2011) was the last surviving American veteran of World War I. Born in Bethany, Missouri, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in August 1917 at age 16, lying about his age to join. He served as a corporal with the 1st Fort Riley

Senator Lee (UT) was finally shamed into exercising a little discipline on his first amendment expression. Looks like it took 10 united Minnesotans to accomplish it.
While she won't get into specifics about what was discussed, Senator Amy Klobuchar confirmed that both she and Senator Tina Smith were able to convince Senator Mike Lee (UT) to take down his reprehensible tweet mocking the politically motivated murders in Minnesota.

I visited the Normandy beaches and cemeteries and museums on Memorial Day Weekend just before the 50th #Dday anniversary in 1994. It’s a pilgrimage every American should walk.

And while I see this, @SenatorWarnock of Georgia quotes #Matthew25 to Stephen Colbert: “I was in prison and you visited me.”
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Multitasking mom with 9 week old infant cradles baby while addressing Congress. New parents should be allowed time at home to bond with their babies! #FamilyValues
Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms. Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. This is a major step forward in our fight to

Is anyone documenting the co$t of “dewoking” ? Staff hours invested in prepping spaces for visits are NOT saving any government funds!
It appears Pete Hegseth is going to the Naval Academy to film...I mean...visit. It's now become standard that whenever he goes to visit there is a scramble ahead of time to "De-Wokefy" everything so his manly persona isn't damaged by seeing women or POC. It appears this has now

Many of us agree with Senator Booker. 400 million watches on Tik Tok?! Many of those viewers are young, and can vote for decades to come!
Whether you agree with him or not, the past 24+ hours was what most people think a filibuster actually looks like. Congratulations to @SenBooker for his historic feat (while staying on his feet!)

We have short attention spans and are weary of the Russia induced war on Ukraine. We are accustomed to grab the remote and “change the channel” when we are bored with “someone else’s war.” #Challenge for 🇺🇦 President seeking to maintain support.

Let Justice prevail! Bring back the commissioners! Consumers need their work to fight #Scams and #fraud.
Last year alone, the Federal Trade Commission returned $330 million to consumers from scams and fraud. The illegal firings of two FTC commissioners undermines the agency’s important mission of protecting consumers — and it must be reversed.

“As time passes, fresh wounds become old scars. Battlefields become memorials . . . Immediacy of events faded, complicating diplomatic challenge Zelensky faces. Survival of #Ukraine depends on his ability to maintain support & sympathy of foreign allies.

As the war morphs into a deadly routine, it's harder for him to hold the attention of allies, and to keep people like Trump on his side.

What’s wrong with this picture? #JointChiefs at #JointAddress No women! A stoic group at this “Mandatory attendance” event.
Trump has fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chief of Naval Operations — both decorated, deserving public servants. He didn’t say why but I think I know — one is Black and the other is a woman.

#SenateAgCommittee
When our farmers succeed, the whole country benefits. That’s why I'm bringing Gary Wertish, a third-generation farmer and president of the @MNFarmersUnion as my guest to the President’s Joint Address. He understands how harmful these across-the-board tariffs will be for farmers

Senator Smith’s guest tonight is Ranger Kate from Voyageurs National Park.
Musk and Trump should have to face the hardworking Park Rangers they sacked. I’m bringing Kate, who was unjustly fired from northern Minnesota’s Voyageurs National Park, to the State of the Union.
