I wonder if knowledge of the double tap prompted the six members of congress to make that ad, and that's what made Trump and Hegseth so angry about it.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

They're about to give a man who would be an unbeatable presidential nominee a huge moral platform and I don't think they've thought this through.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

They really haven’t made it clear what we’re supposed to be doing all this sacrificing FOR either. Even if it did mean more manufacturing in America, what is that doing for us? Will tariffs ever come down? What good am I sacrificing for?

Sent off am email to Daniels' office yesterday asking why not. So far no response - and no signature.
Disappointed but not surprised that even with the support of a massive endowment and pressure from students, faculty, and alumni alike, Hopkins has yet to sign on to this. We're not getting research grant funding back either way, @jhu.edu, can't we at least go down fighting for democratic values?
