Happy Thanksgiving my Blue Sky Friends. The beach was crazy windy tonight, but I was glad I was able to escape my kitchen for a few minutes to catch the sunset 💙💙💙

2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

1. Russia retreats from all Ukrainian land, including Crimea
2. Russia returns the tens of thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children
3. Russia pays for the rebuild of Ukraine, amount TBD
It’s not that complex
