Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

As someone who's actually read the Bible, it's getting increasingly hard to fathom what part of the New Testament they could even be grazing over on Sundays that jibes with any of this.

Spineless Trump sycophant and Putin apologist Marco Rubio terminated U.S. support for restoring Ukraine's energy grid moments after President Zelenskyy was kicked out of the White House.
Shameless. Despicable. Cowardly.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

For some reason I’m just tempted to stand at a roadside and any time a Tesla drives by me give it the same salute Elon did at the inauguration. (I used to want one too!)
