Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—
Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—
I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

I love it a decent person is provided the proverbial stage by stupid asses.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

This is Union Station. I think I saw these three young people in the U Street Station last night. I have resolved that kindness should be offered to all our guests. As a friend noted, it’s not their fault that they are here.

Every day on their way to work more immigrants are stopped, and many taken. Vehicles are often abandoned & families are left with no idea about what is going on. I can't believe we are living in this world. Anyway, please share this!

Reminder: please telll any Latino folks in the DC area to avoid BWI parkway (295) & other similar roads that are covered under the park police. In particular, do not take any vans/trucks on that road. Technically commercial vehicles aren't permitted but that's never been enforced. Now it is.
