Trump and Republicans don’t value or respect our soldiers and they certainly don’t value working class Americans.

An Honest Word on Service and Sacrifice
Veterans Day isn’t about speeches or hashtags. It’s about the quiet truth that we still carry the oath we took — to defend the Constitution, not a person or a party. We swore to protect all Americans.

For the record, it’s going to be a long while before my anger subsides at the Democrats who surrendered. They’ve made this fight harder. But I won’t allow my anger to distract from the necessary focus on Trump & the feckless Republicans who will exploit every weakness to intensify their demolition.

In fairness to Bari, a lot of cub reporters feel that way when they get to their first real news job
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.
