My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.

The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

#PedoPresident Trump promotes division and violence by referring to virtually everyone who is insufficiently loyal to him as "Radical Left Lunatics who hate America." He calls the press the "enemy of the people." He refers to "crooked judges" if they block him.

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.

I mean, I do. But still.

What we are witnessing in this precise moment in the United States is a remarkable rot that is as visible as the sun on a bright blue sky day. The rot is blinding, and it is spreading in plain sight faster than can be noticed, addressed, or even seen.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

I read this three times, and I'm pretty sure it makes no sense.
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

For the umpteenth time: The most obvious answer is most always the correct answer. Donald Trump most likely was a client in Epstein’s pedophilia ring, and Trump most likely sexually abused & victimized young girls. That’s always been the most obvious answer here.

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.
