The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.

Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus.
Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory.
If NATO doesn’t set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia won’t stop.

What does Article 4 of the Nato Treaty mean at this moment is a hard question to answer. watch the video and refer to the chart below and it should help you understand who is actually most in danger in this scenario - and yes 45 withdrew from NATO, Biden Rejoined. thats why this matters.

NATO has invoked Article 4 after Russian drones violated Polish airspace which is the required precursor to invoking Article 5. Trump's weakness with Putin has brought us closer to WWIII than we have ever been before.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)
