This morning, President Obama welcomed an Honor Flight of veterans and their families to the Capitol. Words alone cannot adequately express our gratitude for their service, but appreciative words and a handshake from a President is a start. 🇺🇲

"No More King" was the first episode of Season 3 of Schoolhouse Rock! That season, which coincided with the American Bicentennial, ran from 1975 until 1976 on ABC and was actually named America Rock.
America will not bow now nor ever to a king.

No one in the GOP racist chat was a “kid,” JD. Those facts have been verified.
JD would like you to do anything but pay attention to those abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered Tuesday.
They learned it somewhere.

That one time when Hegseth at the Pentagon tried to force media outlets to sign a loyalty pledge for press access and nearly everyone refused, even MAGA outlets Fox News and Newsmax. 🤦♂️
We'll see if SCOTUS remembers which Amendment comes 1st.

We at the LEO are as unsurprised as Governor Hochul at yesterday's release of hateful messages.
In this age of hyperpartisan tribalism fueled by dehumanizing speech, the cost of doing one's elected job is to receive death threats on a regular basis.

Understanding basic debate and public messaging strategies such as the "dead cat" strategy is essential in this day and age of misinformation and disinformation. Whether it's a local candidate that hides past support for others, or a President that wants to hide damaging files.

Talk about an unconscionable Freudian slip. 😳😳😳
All electeds cross this nation take an oath to uphold their state Constitution as well as the US Constitution. That is not an oath to a king or even to an office. Even suggesting unlimited power should be in impeachable offense.

If a Republican tries to tell you that it take 60 votes to pass a CR in the Senate, they are either dreadfully misinformed, or they are lying to you. Just two weeks ago, Senate Republicans changed the rules to force through 48 nominations at once.
Technical details matters.

Remember: When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. The sources that you choose to trust to provide you with information very much shape your perspective on the world around you.

Silencing opposing viewpoints and stifling dissent is an age-old tactic of authoritarianism. Are you sure that you are on the right side of history? Self-reflection is warranted, before it's too late.
