The starships are supposed to blow up at this point, guys. It would be nice if they didn’t, but this is how engineers learn how to build them so that they *don’t* blow up.

You have got to be the most ignorant people on Planet Earth if you think attacking the Democratic National Committee HQ is going to affect your (bonkers) demands on Israel or lead to more sympathy and protection for Hamas.

I’m a progressive Democrat. Ran as a progressive, support progressives, believe in progressive policy goals.
Hamas-defenders and antisemites play-acting as “protestors” are not progressives. Outside of MAGA, no group’s behavior has solidified me more against their supposed policy demands than them.

The gobsmacking, shameless profiteering of US health care is charging me $200 for medication that should be covered by my insurance for free, but the doctor called it in to CVS instead of Rite Aid. And no time to work through the hours required to fix when a loved one is in pain.
Single payer. Now.

This gives me no great pleasure, but the Bills are looking like the 14th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

That’ll just about do it for the Bills playoff hopes. Not pleased with the playcalling at all this year. The players haven’t changed much…I think it might be time for a new round of coaches. Let’s not wait until the end of the season.

Targeted harassment and intimidation with the intent to commit harm - whether the person is at school, on their way to work, or anywhere else - is an act of terror.
Your cause may be just. But if you’re committing terror to make your point, you either need to seek help or see yourself into jail.

The average value of free #VeteransDay meals is $15.
There are ~18 million veterans in America.
If each gets a free meal, that’s $270 million.
How about, instead of a Bloomin’ Onion, we pay full price for the meal and spend that to house the last 33,129 homeless vets in America right now?

My go-to way to respond when someone says “thank you for your service” is: “Thank you for paying your taxes.”
It’s a good reminder that service doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and in a free society, we all have an important role to play.

Admiral Lisa Franchetti has been confirmed as Chief of Naval Operations today.
She's the first woman ever to lead the United States Navy.
For the first time in American history, 1/3 of the Joint Chiefs are women.

Hearing “don’t trust the elites” from the elites is telling. It’s not even populism as a bumper sticker…it’s faux populism as a marketing ploy to disenfranchise and remove agency from the very objects of populism: human beings.
