The Philippines was my first Air Force tour. I arrived there in Nov 1987, about a year after the events of the People Power Revolution of 1986. While inspiring, it would have seemed ludicrous to suggest that Marcos' ouster could serve as an example to the US. open.substack.com/pub/jeffquig...

Memorial Day marks the start of summer—but more importantly, it's a time to honor those who died in service to our country. Enjoy your weekend, and take a moment to remember their sacrifice. Veterans in crisis can call 988 for help. #MemorialDay #Remember #LiveUnited

It was, as they say, a fucking big night for Democrats in Texas’ local elections. In my former hometown of Plano, the nonpartisan good-governance group that I helped to organize, Keep Plano #1, *swept* city council and school district elections. My friend Michelle reports:

Well, Gaetz's nomination lasted approximately one Scaramucci. 🤣
"A Scaramucci (or Mooch) is 11 (sometimes 10) days and is named after the length of White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci's tenure under President Trump."
