We honor the bravery of those who risked everything on D-Day—and remember why they did.

Freedom demands vigilance, then and now.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Nobel Prizes by country and year.

The Framers took care to leave the running of elections in state hands because they feared a strongman figure would try to seize national power over it. Trump must not be allowed to rule by decree, and most especially not here. It’s dangerous, wrong, and unconstitutional.
President Donald Trump issued a sweeping executive order Tuesday that would dramatically change the administration of U.S. elections.
