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.

Mark Kelly is a national hero who has served his country for his entire life.

Donald Trump is a felon-rapist who is taking food from hungry children.

If you're attacking the former and supporting the latter, you're a lousy human and a terrible patriot.

In case you haven’t been following closely lately, we’re currently in the “let’s attack a decorated war veteran and retired astronaut” portion of the collapse of Republican morality.

Representative Kim (R CA) is an immigrant born in Incheon, South Korea, a democratic republic where the president is head of state, and there is a multi-party parliament. A typical Republican, she is known for stretching the truth until it resembles something entirely different.

Unbelievable.

Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Due to the Trump administration's failure to appoint responsible management to oversee the nation's health, the New England Journal of Medicine and the Center for Infectious Disease Research will begin publishing public health alerts.

Competent leadership, after all, must come from somewhere.

Sen. Kelley is a highly decorated Naval aviator and astronaut.
Hegseth is a notorious drunk. He is most notable for his time as a weekend anchor on Fox.
Attempting to court martial Sen. Kelley will be a major embarrassment for Trump
Good read from Robert Reich
Senator Mark E. Kelly, Patriot of Patriots
The contrast between him and Pete Hegseth or Trump couldn't be more larger

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg

If, as historian Gordon Wood recently put it, 'to be an American is to believe in something,' then it is urgent and important for us today to reject the nativism and ethnonationalism that has reared its ugly head. lnk.thebulwark.com/4aa3qLd

Worth taking 3 minutes this morning to watch this profound and lovely performance.
And if you’re my age, to remember where you were when you first heard the song.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy
