Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Courage!
Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

When a Billionaire Comes for Your Water
Turns out the next big Texas showdown isn’t oil — it’s water. And the folks who voted for the drought are shocked the drought came looking for them.

Rep. Goodlander: "When the Sec Def came before the House Armed Services Committee, I asked him a simple question that has one answer only. I asked him, 'Will you abide by a decision of SCOTUS?' Sec. Hegseth refused to commit to doing so. This put our service members in an impossible position."

When I came into office, it was clear that Oregon had a humanitarian crisis at our doorstep. We had to make big, bold moves – and fast. These outcomes show it is working, but there’s more work to do.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) says someone showed up to her D.C. office today and made white supremacist threats. Capitol Police had to intervene.
This was hours after Trump said Democrats in Congress should be executed.

Bari Weiss, I believe this is your moment.
Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Kim Davis has been divorced three times, having been married four times to three different men. So much for the sanctity of marriage.
Yes, her case was about same-sex marriage, but she's hardly an expert when it comes to lasting relationships.
