Memorial Day is not just a long weekend—it’s a solemn reminder of those who laid down their lives in service to this country.

Many advances in civilian medicine—especially in trauma—has been forged in the crucible of war. We honor the fallen by carrying those lessons forward in service of others.

This budget bill is truly frightening. It's big, yes. Beautiful... not so much.
@tanglenews.bsky.social has a wonderful piece that's definitely worth a read.

What's next for the big beautiful bill?
Plus, how does the Supreme Court decide their rulings?

Tonight in amazing music: I'm a long-time fan of Norwegian jazz trumpeter Nils Peter Molvær. And I've been pushing everyone I know to listen to the Sweetheart, the best (Scandin)americana band you've never heard.

Here they are playing together. It's sublime.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

There's no way to pretend that both 1) reinstating the DOGE staffer with the racist tweets and 2) trying to deport the Palestinian protest organizer are consistent with any sort of principle.
A Tale of Two Bigots
The stories of Marko Elez, Mahmoud Khalil, and the Camp Auschwitz guy show what the right means when it talks about “free speech.”

A troubling precedent? Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and the future of free speech.

Mahmoud Khalil's arrest is a frightening turn.
If you value free speech, you should be concerned over the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

Hooves thunder where the ghost grass bends, A riderless steed where time suspends. Hate’s shadow flees ‘neath the moon’s cold gleam, Spirits rise in a silvered dream. Through endless plains, their voices soar, One pulse, one breath, forevermore.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

In forest's heart, where shadows weave, Ancient tales in scars, they leave. Wisdom etched on bark so old, Traditions whispered, stories told. Each mark a rite, each groove a guide, Beneath the stars, where spirits reside

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?
You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.
