CNN has invited me on tonight to provide analysis and perspective. I’m rushing in now and will join Erica Hill and a solid panel of veterans, legal and law enforcement experts at 10PMET.

This is exactly the wrong kind of partisan message for a VA Secretary and cabinet member to send in a moment like this.

But it’s also not surprising.

This is what he always does. Even now.

And it only makes things worse for everyone. Especially our veterans.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

And a devastating reminder that America’s troops are a target everywhere, worldwide, always. And especially over the holidays.

It’s why they should always be deployed as a last resort. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Happy almost Thanksgiving from NYC. A time when we should especially be thankful for all our military, first responders and law enforcement out there holding the line. The disgusting shooting in DC today is a reminder of how many are out there doing their jobs—tonight & throughout the holidays.

@rieckhoff.bsky.social hey Paul, I thought I’d share this post with you in case you know any retired military folks looking for a highly trained K9. She’s explosives detection apparently . No doubt good at other things, too, like just being a dog. 😊
Sweet 5 year old Sosa is a retired service K9 in search of a #ForeverHome. She is very energetic and highly skilled.

This is the latest wrong and dangerous escalation by Trump.

He’s weaponizing the FBI AND the DoD together as a radical and unacceptable dual-strike of intimidation to come after his political adversaries.

This is much bigger than Republicans vs Democrats. It’s about wrong vs right.
The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet.
