Retired. Science is the answer. Done a few things. 911 paramedicine, education, hotshot service, & 2 or 3 other things. All about democracy and the U.S. Constitution. How did we get here?

Trumpism seeks to concentrate as much power as possible, previously unheard of power, in the hands of not just the Federal gov’t, but of one solitary man.
It’s the antithesis of classic conservatism.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Memorial Day is always a time that I take a pause and think of the ones I lost in service. Not just my own men but family and my Iraqi partners who risked their lives for me. I went for my traditional hike today. Now I’m grabbing a cold one and lunch. Here are a few of the men I’m thinking of today.

My father was part of the Band Of Brothers, 101st airborne, Easy Company (back row center w/the white scarf). I think of & honor him every day. He would be disgusted by the vile moron in the presidency today.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc.

Since none of the MFers have ever served anything but themselves, sacrifice and dedication is a hard dose of reality.
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation.
Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

Fox is now demanding Scott Pelley face arrest and advocating for the cancelation of 60 Minute safter he declared “freedom of speech is under attack” during a commencement speech at Wake Forest University.
They are always calling for people to be arrested but they never say what law has been broken.
