Another love letter to my family and friends.
"[A]fter all this time, with everything that’s happened, and everything that’s been revealed, I have to wonder if you are (and am astonished that you may) still be standing by Mr. Trump and his administration."

Authoritarians rise when fear wins and truth goes quiet.
Not today.
A president calling for death penalties against lawmakers is a red line and the Uniform Code of Military Justice exists to stop exactly this kind of abuse.
Protect the troops.
Defend the law.

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.
Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

This story is begging for more attention
Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.
