@JasonKander Did you see this? I'm genuinely irritated by this. Being antagonized by the social media team for my political party seems unnecessary?!? Like, damn.

Funding for mental healthcare (and a range of other important services) for newly arrived refugees was eliminated by the Trump administration immediately upon taking office. Despite having a domestic purpose, it was in the foreign aide budgets they cancelled.

One thing being a Marine in Iraq taught me is that when someone says the word “kinetic” there’s a 93% chance they’re about to say the dumbest, cringiest puffery you’ve ever heard in your life
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order? LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his

When I post here these days, the first couple hours are fine. A few supportive replies. Then 2 hours later, it hits the “For You” tab for a bunch of MAGA folks. And then it’s just nasty for days. I might be done with this site.

Incredible how many MAGA folks reply to my tweets about the military by telling me someone who “never served a day in the military” should keep his mouth shut. So here I am in Afghanistan in 2006 during my time “never serving a day in the military.”

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

A new @nytimes report shows that the administration plans to treat being from Afghanistan (and 18 other “travel ban” countries) as a “negative factor” when reviewing green card and immigration applications. An important #AfghanEvac 🧵

In the past few years, I’ve successfully led an effort to build villages of tiny houses for homeless veterans in several American cities, spearheaded a covert rescue of hundreds of Afghan allies, and founded a non-profit that rescued thousands more. How about yourself?
@JasonKander @ScottJenningsKY the same could be said to you, dude. maybe try doing something with yourself instead of being a phony grifter.

Look at the date on this #Epstein email: 2011! This is not two crooks strategizing for a pardon or a sweetheart plea agreement. This is 2 crooks talking about a third crook!

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

This can’t just be another news cycle or another Wednesday. The President of the United States was aware of one of the most infamous child exploitation networks in the world and allegedly spent hours with one of its victims at Epstein’s residence. This isn’t just politics. It’s

What happens if Congress votes for full release of the Epstein files and Trump’s DOJ doesn’t comply? Does it go direct to SCOTUS?
