I think the only reason I kept my Twitter account up was to save my leadership thread. I wrote it while still in the Army and was one of my favorite tweets. May be time to deactivate the account, so am going to rewrite the thread here.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

This morning I saw one for American Airlines. We can post this kind of stuff all day, but until we figure out how to relitigate Citizens United and get money out of campaigns, we won't be a true democracy.
Each candidate gets X dollars from public coffers and X airtime.
Period.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Mamdani is going to implement Shamwow Law. Everyone in NYC will be required to have clean counters and be excited about it.
Mamdani is going to implement Shohei Law. Everyone in NYC will be required to be a power hitter AND a starting pitcher. And speak Japanese.

In several countries thousands of foreign national employees, mostly US military bases and embassies, not been paid in 6 weeks. Most are excepted, working full time. Most are sole breadwinners in their families.
For US feds, this+ 10% of their income wiped out when the dollar plunged w| tariffs.

The U.S. federal work force stationed overseas has not been paid for almost 6 weeks.
But that's not the first financial hit, that came in April with the tariffs, when the dollar, the currency of their pay, plummeted, instantly erasing 10% of their income. It has not come back.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
No one should have that much.
