“Echo” is a euphemism for “We at the NY Times are too gutless to tell you the truth, which is ‘Yes, the Trump Administration has explicitly adopted White Supremacist messaging, ideology, and goals”.

Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm.

I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters, hospitals, and houses of worship.

Trust in Larry. He hears and knows things plus I bet he sneaks into the 10 Downing Street SCIF.
I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

Dave Grossman is, and has always been, a fucking joke. A mentor (now a GO) saw me reading his book as a young cadet, and told me as much in very plain language, I'll never forget it. "That guy is full of shit. EIB, no CIB. He doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about."

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock?

Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?
I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

This will not be my first suggestion that a retired joint wartime veteran like me is in a position to share his home and nice enough bird dog with one newly retired service member who is compatible with a very acceptable volunteer. Worth my mention is we have a military post near home. Dog approved!

So, NASA swiftly acts to cancel space missions on the Int'l Space Station, like today's space walk (suspended), & plan for removal of the crew early (fly back to Earth). Medical issue.
What's our plan on Earth to use 25 Amendment for medical reasons?

Today, I said a sad goodbye to a faithful and loving member of the family after 13 1/2 years of companionship and love. Mylo gave me many gifts but the greatest gift was unconditional love. He will no longer travel beside me in body but he will forever inhabit my mind and heart. Goodbye buddy!

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."

I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

Four female vets known as the " #Hellcats" — including a retired #Marine drill instructor, a #Navy pilot, a Marine captain, and a #Army special ops officer — are running for #Congress in 2026. Inspired by the 2018 "badass caucus" they're campaigning together to help #Democrats retake the #House.
Could a group of women veteran ‘Hellcats’ help Democrats flip the House in 2026?
The name Hellcats pays homage to the first female Marines of World War One.
