It can take weeks for a state inspector to check a safety report. It can take months to get a single court date. It can take years to move a bill through a legislature. But you will rarely see all the gears of gov work so well together as when it's time to kill someone.

Every time I think I've this man at his most bizarre and deranged, he ranges the bar. What a strange, sad little guy. Those in the military who do approve of him are the bad eggs. Most of the people here I associate with, at least, think he's a joke.

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

Deployments are hard on everyone. But this isn't a situation where there's any reason at all for this kind of neglect and mistreatment of sailors. My heart goes out to all the military personnel dealing with this pointless war, and their families at home worried about their safety and mental health.

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.
