Given the new influx of folks here, I thought it might make sense to drop an introduction!
I'm a husband and father of two amazing kids currently living with my family in Paris, France. I'm a lawyer by training who spent seven years as a local elected official in Durham, North Carolina. 1/2

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

Business envoys can offer fresh ideas, but in the Ukraine talks their transactional tendencies risk producing a settlement that is neither fair nor stable.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Shooting Nat Guard is bad, the perpetrator should be brought to justice.
Troops are in DC only for Trump's political stunt, based on lies, creating not reducing dangerous situations.
Far from the worst act of political violence in the US this year, but will get more attention.
All true at once.
