We should never forget that our Guardsmen and women are our neighbors. Our troops always deserve our support—and my thoughts are with the National Guard community today and every day.

I’m closely monitoring this horrific shooting and hope for a swift and full recovery for the injured servicemembers. They never should have been in this position to begin with.

In 1908, Monet destroyed at least 15 new Water Lilies paintings because he was unsatisfied with their quality.
The outburst came just before they were set to exhibit in Paris, forcing a postponement. Even masters have moments of doubt.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy.
It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

It is not normal for a U.S. envoy to coach the Kremlin on how to influence an American president, especially in a way that undercuts Ukrainian and American national interests. As I told @NPR's Morning Edition.
