I live in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA, with my spouse. I am retired and happily married. I enjoy listening to music and walking our dog, hiking and traveling. I don't DM with folks I haven't met in real life. Blue to the core. No Kings

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau.
@lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not.
We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post.
Let me tell you about what we have done in Ukraine over the past year and why we are not leaving

Please remember that as a Democrat we stand up for the working man, the unions, and our educational system. We do not stand for large corporations, oligarchs, and to help politicians get wealthy - THAT is what Republicans stand for. When you are elected, and i'm sure you will, remember this, please.

My Robin friend Little Mate today. He's very chatty at the moment. Breeding season isn't far off, and he's spending most of his time singing, chasing off rivals and turning down potential mates - he already has one. #nature #wildlife #ukwildlife #bathnature #bird #ukwildlife

Tell that to Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s family.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.
