Between @booker.senate.gov's magnificent, soaring oratory and stamina plus
the volunteers' effort up to the last hours in Wisconsin I have renewed faith in our fellow Americans' devotion to democracy. We can do this. But it takes all of us. Remember April 5 is coming up.

The simple fact is though that it's going to take a long time - much longer than we feel comfortable with - to disentangle our military capabilities from the US.
At the same time, it's a mutual entanglement, so I expect the process to play out relatively peaceably unless the WH forces it not to be.
