#Disinformation matters because it blurs the lines of truth, the very things I emphasize when I teach ethics. Your thoughts please! #disinformation #ethics https://ow.ly/tLrI50Y4Fj6

A recent NYT piece shows Trump is withholding funds from Democratic districts during a shutdown.

This tactic doesn’t just hurt “the other side.” It weakens institutions, erodes trust, and discourages unity.

Is this the type of leadership we need?

I appreciate Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs' decision to permanently display the flags of our Native American #veterans. Did you know that Native Americans have a higher rate of military service?

Hobbs takes custody of 22 tribal flags evicted from Phoenix VA hospital
The governor's office said it had accepted the 22 flags, which were left with the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community near Scottsdale.

Your thoughts, please? From Hill correspondent Jamie Dupree:

BRIEFING. "Moving forward, the WH press pool will be determined by the White House press team," Press Secretary Leavitt told reporters.

POWER. "This move does not give power back to the people," tweeted Fox News WH Correspondent.

One of the most important agencies in my #Whistleblower case was @US_OSC‬⁩. I continue to receive numerous Whistleblower reports from inside VA. Wouldn’t it seem that an independent authority is a better avenue of recourse?
