We probably shouldn’t normalize deploying the military domestically.

When employees are asked “what are the traits I want my leader to exhibit,” the number one answer is usually INTEGRITY.

People want truth, not lies, excuses or misinformation.

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned.

Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.

I've posted this before, and will do so again until people pay attention.

Reupping this dated article (from yesterday) since the @washingtonpost.com now reports the National Security Advisor is also using Gmail to pass information. Yet today, again, the WH press secretary says the investigation is complete. Seems it isn’t.
Wrote this article on Friday, it was published this morning with the warning “this is a very big deal that requires investigation and action!”

Today, the WhiteHouse press secretary declared the investigation closed.

We are less safe & our security is compromised.
We cannot let the accountability disappear along with the messages. My latest on ⁦‪@BulwarkOnline‬⁩ on the Signal chat.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Sen. Lindsey Graham warns of potentially disastrous consequences for Ukraine if the Trump administration doesn’t restart military aid and intelligence sharing with the Eastern European nation.
Sen. Lindsey Graham: A pause in U.S. help for Ukraine could be 'worse than Afghanistan'

Trump hugged the flag, then stabbed veterans in the back. Cutting 80,000 VA jobs won’t improve services-it’s a betrayal of those who served. Veterans kept
their promise, why won’t he? Read more:
