The Trump admin has been quietly pressuring Europe to not seize the Russian billions for Ukraine. He fully intends to give it back to Russia and likely will find a way to profit himself.

If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving with family and/or friends, I hope everyone there, especially those who prepared the food, feels comfortable, safe, and honored.

If you’re alone and/or not celebrating, I hope you have the day you want, feel comfortable and safe, and know that I honor you.

The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, DC today is a horrible tragedy. We must all condemn this kind of unacceptable violence.

MK and I are praying for the victims, their families, and all of our service members who sign up to serve our country.
