NEW: The National Guard analyzed its mission and found it is perceived as "leveraging fear, driving a wedge between civilians and the military, and promoting a sense of shame among troops and the military." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ veterans’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence

Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.”

My latest in @thebulwark.com

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military

If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

So how is the cult-o-sphere spinning the fact that all Repubs blocked release of the Epstein files?

The first consideration—
is it covered?

The Land of the Free

Tears.

My mind is racing, she says.
About what?
Time.

THE QUESTION

“Will I ever be healthy again?”
Her face—plaintive, but bracing.
In the silence that followed,
galaxies bloomed and fell to seed.

I dropped the word gently,
cushioned in a nest
of my own astonishment:

“No.”

THE LIE

People who tell you this is beautiful
are lying.

It is pain-driven moans,
blood on the carpet,
piss in the bed,
desiccated lips,
eyes full of fear,
and grief before grief.

We are kinder to dogs.

It seems to me that this administration will keep firing intelligence analysts until they can find one who will lie to justify the regime disappearing perceived enemies to foreign torture dungeons.
