Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote. You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

By speaking out, this Major has likely relinquished his right to millions of dollars of future benefits and entitlements of his service. Health insurance, pension, etc. When Hegseth was threatening Mark Kelly an other veteran members of Congress, that’s what he was after. Not a small show of courage

Last night sixteen service members lined the path of UFC fighters at the Lincoln Memorial. The military’s highest honor. Reserved for funerals for heroes. Today they enter the ring from the Oval Office. Where Kennedy sat during the Missile Crisis. He owns the stock. That is the institution now.

Using the military’s “highest ceremonial formation” for this is an insult to every American, but especially to anyone who has served in the military. @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
The fighters walked from Lincoln's statue down the steps of the memorial through the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon, a pathway formed between two groups made up of sixteen service members in dress uniforms. This is the U.S. military's highest ceremonial formation, usually reserved for heads of state, foreign dignitaries, senior officials, and funerals for military heroes.
