Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The secretary of defense throwing a top military official under the bus to protect himself. A beacon of integrity.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

For the same reason that most of the military voted for Trump. They like him and agree with him. Don't ask me to unilaterally respect the military. I ask the military to earn respect by following the law consistently.

Perhaps--& I hope you're right. Given that Bradley HAD to know what he was doing, my guess is that he & many others in the military cannot be counted on to follow the law. Do you think Hegseth is the only dude-bro here? Sadly, there is a sizeable contingent of servicemembers who think like Hegseth.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.

Folks I really love spending time with you and doing my job as a commentator but I am not going to lie. I cut down a problem sweet gum tree today, pruned up our persimmon tree and did some repairs on my old jeep that is becoming my granddaughters at the end of the week. It was nice to unplug.

Trump & republicans are so f-ing scared of being defeated in a real, honest election, they have to manufacture a senseless illegal war.
