The most important part of Hegseth's demotion of Mark Kelly is that Donald Trump's DOJ still hasn't released the Epstein files. #Epstein

I keep thinking of @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s comments about how much Trump and Hegseth must hate Vance that they are trying their best to get Kelly elected.

Mark Kelly blasts Hegseth attempting to lower his military rank and pension. Saying "If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it."

200. Five Questions About the Maduro Arrest Operation
Friday night's U.S. military operation in Venezuela was a textbook violation of international law. It's also entirely unauthorized by U.S. law, which ought to (but probably won't) matter.

I think you are right. It actually took 2-3 years in Missoula, MT to get free buses for all. It’s well with the effort, in so many ways. Thank goodness we had a great mayor - who also, over several years, turned the private municipal water system public. Relentless persistence paid off handsomely.
