I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Past time for Witless to go back to pushing coops on the Upper East Side.
"It was not an accident CIA was kept out of the loop on an American deal with a Russian operative."

The State Department didn't know about Witkoff's 'peace plan,' congressional GOP didn't know, the USIC didn't know, and apparently even Trump didn't know the detail."

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.

A new documentary, "Thoughts and Prayers," looks at how gun violence has led to school lockdown drills becoming a universal part of childhood in America.

That sparked the growth of an entire industry of active shooter preparedness products.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I said it over a year ago: Trump’s plan was always to sell out Zelensky and hand Putin exactly what he wants.

We cannot allow it to happen.

If Putin were to push toward NATO countries, our treaty obligations could put American service members directly in harm’s way.

Saying that U.S. law bars obedience to unlawful orders does not imply an unlawful order is pending, or has been given. Our military is trained on this standard precisely so unlawful orders are neither given nor obeyed.

#holdfast
Many are struggling to understand what “illegal orders” the members of Congress could be referring to. But we’ve already seen examples. During his first term, Trump asked, “Can’t you just shoot them? Shoot them in the legs,” referring to protesters. #holdfast
