Just a reminder since some commenters appear to be confused: As it states in my profile, I am a retired US Ambassador.
During three decades serving the USA, I spoke, wrote, and behaved diplomatically.
I do not speak for any Administration. Now that I am retired, I speak my mind.

It's been over a month and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files and are overly redacting what they do release because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Anybody else wish the criminals running the country were just a bit smarter so we wouldn’t look quite so idiotic for allowing them to take over the country?

She has the microphone.
She has immunity.
If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor.
Silence isn’t caution.
It’s a choice.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Before every meeting or even phone call with Zelinskyy, Trump first calls Putin. That should tell you something.
It is a strictly one-way street since he never calls Zelinskyy, EU leaders, or anyone else before talking with Putin.
Clearly, Putin's approval matters to him.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.
