One of the most important episodes I have done as Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social doesn't suffer fools & delivers the insight we need about what is going on with these strikes:
The details are coming out fast and furious about the 9/2 vessel strike.
US Army Ret. Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social gives REAL insight into what went down that day & why the Trump Administration’s “lethality over legality” is destroying America’s credibility.

She is not an emergency medicine physician, does not work as an emergency medicine physician, and holds no recognized board certification in emergency medicine.

The Times obituary included all of his most famous buildings but Frank Gehry also designed something big that moves. Because he loved sailing, Frank designed the most beautiful sailboat in the world. One day he let me take the helm in a Pacific wind so perfect it seemed he designed the wind too.
