Thank you & Happy Veterans Day to all who have volunteered to serve in our 🇺🇸 military. Just a reminder, it is always the biggest cowards, often those who dodged their own service, who are the most willing to send our sons & daughters to foreign lands to fight reckless wars. War sucks.

I love what my Lions are doing in DC today. But I’m glad Detroit and Washington fans, blue and red, could come together in this bipartisan moment of enthusiasm. For America 🇺🇸. #OnePride #Commanders
Trump just got massively booed and flipped off by the crowd at the Commanders game.
