"Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man."

Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1776
Today wrapped up my third semester running a program specifically for kids who, for numerous reasons, just don't fit in at public schools. Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, medically-complex. Seeing how happy they are, with new friends who just don't care about those things, makes it so worth it.

Can someone please show me where this stolen US land in Venezuela is? I missed that day in school apparently.

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

ICYMI: The Navy has a squadron of EA-18G Growlers in Puerto Rico now. Growlers are highly specialized jets that have no use in "fighting narco-terrorism" and fishing boats.

All I want for Christmas is not going to war with Venezuela.

The Growlers are not a standard show of force, with the jets offering capabilities that would be key in any future strikes in the region.

Let's talk about tolls. This is a bit of a sore spot for me, because I grew up in an area that did not have a lot of toll roads. But this is a conversation about my current home: Hampton Roads, Virginia. Home to about 1.7 million people broken up into seven cities and LOTS of water. (1/9)

2025 is so fucking crazy. Torture Memo Judge is ....a good guy now?

Idk how 2026 can top this one.
OK, seriously. This is wild.

Judge Jay Bybee (1) raises a new issue — the Domestic Violence Clause of the Constitution — to consider in the troop deployment cases; (2) extensively details its historical application;

If anyone wants a painfully depressing and terrifying read this weekend, I highly recommend The Deluge by Stephen Markley. I think it will haunt me for years to come.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

I am horrified that the government of the United States is proudly posting videos of our military murdering people in cold blood.

It isn't surprising coming from the people in this administration, but it is still nauseating. We are watching human beings die and the SecDef tweets.

Absolutely regretting my enthusiasm yesterday for a "fun" day trip that requires me to wake up at 0530 on a Saturday.

Don't have kids, it's a trap.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I am more and more convinced that every senior military advisor we have has informed Trump and Co. that a ground invasion into Venezuela is a terrible idea, but he's put himself in a position where he can't back down without looking weak.

So the CIA trained this man to be SpecOps, had him murder hundreds, brought him to the US, and now we're supposed to believe that they had no idea he planned to travel cross country and murder two young soldiers?

I don't push conspiracy theories, but it certainly doesn't look like a coincidence.

So which state is stepping up to violate a court order and put their NG troops at risk?
DEVELOPING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth comments on the news that two National Guard members were shot near the White House.

"President Trump has asked me — and I will ask the Secretary of the Army to the National Guard — to add 500 additional troops, National Guardsmen, to Washington, D.C."

Who sends out an official tweet without verifying whether someone is alive or dead?! There are HUNDREDS of families in West Virginia waiting to hear if their soldier was involved. Absolutely irresponsible.
IMPORTANT UPDATE

The Governor of West Virginia now has two conflicting back-to-back posts about the health status of the two National Guard members who were shot in Washington, DC.

I have deleted my previous post sharing the news that they had died.
