“kinetic”, “ aggressive friend”, “not much of a heads up guy”, “seems sharper than necessary” talking #AfghanEvac, vets, tourism, natsec, & local gov
I’m a Navy veteran, a national security expert, and a civic leader in California.

I’ve defended democracy overseas and here at home, and I’ve spoken up when leaders cross the line.

That includes leading this letter calling for Asm Voepel’s removal after he compared Jan 6 to Lexington & Concord.

I submitted this letter to the California Legislature today in strong support of the #ElectionRiggingResponseAct.

It’s a temporary safeguard against attempts to rewrite the rules of our democracy for partisan gain.

I’m tired of hearing how much Members of Congress “care” behind closed doors.

If you’re not speaking up in public about the Afghan allies we left behind, then you’re part of the problem.

This week, a few stood up. Most stayed silent.

Enough is enough. Take a stand. @afghanevac.bsky.social
