I served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education and Training for three years before the office was disestablished last year. I owned the policy on professional military education for all five services. I have listened to Secretary Hegseth's announcement. I have thoughts. 🧵
When non-Presidents make sense of what a fool does.

So good seeing so many of you already lined up earlier today before our event with Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
I had to stop and say hello. Thank you for bringing the energy!
Keep an eye on this feed for more from today! #GA14
Ukrainian war veteran Kristina Sanina and 2004 World’s Strongest Man Vasyl Virastyuk walked the runway at Ukrainian Fashion Week.
Join us for an evening of comedy and community at Littlefield on Monday night.
Sadly, it won’t mostly be #dadjokes. I’m told that Pooja Reddy, Alison Leiby, and other special guests will make you laugh, rather than groan & roll your eyes. (1/2)
Pope Leo XIV is moving into the newly renovated papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace.
Pete Hegseth reportedly spent $24M of expiring DOD funds on lobster, ribeye steaks, and Alaskan king crab.
Now the Pentagon wants ANOTHER $500B, on top of Trump's record-setting $1T military budget.
Imagine what we could spend that money on instead.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
We’re trying to hold on to a £2,500 grant place for the dogs but the competition is tight.

I had a bad day yesterday. A really long, bad day. But it didn’t matter to these two. They followed me everywhere, they welcomed me back home, they looked at me like I was the greatest, and they always let me know when it was time for a walk. Dogs. The best.

Women around the world recognize the lose-lose proposition here: emotionally immature men depend on women to keep them from making the worst possible choices and then demonize them for being killjoy nags.
ThOSE who could stop this—Congress GOP—instinctively know this and won't take the hit.
This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
The American Dream should work for everyone, not just the wealthy. When CEOs make nearly 300 times what their workers earn, something is broken. I'm fighting for policies that give working families in Arizona a real chance at getting ahead.
Solidarity with @kschake.bsky.social. The US military gains nothing from this systematic banning of scholars. It snacks of fear of facts- another sign that there is a design of ideological indoctrination.
Trump - who, personally, is why we are sinking in Iran - rejects his way out: ceasefire talks
Because he's an amateur loser

Young at Heart’s adoption center is officially paid off! 🎉 Our home now belongs fully & forever to our senior pets. Diana, a longtime adopter and supporter, left us a gift in her will - a final act of kindness & love.
Thank you Diana. Your kindness will echo through this building for generations.🐾
Continue to be astonished by how the NYT describes monstrous corruption as just, you know, this normal thing that’s happening.
100% True.
$15 billion spent. Lives lost. And the regime is still standing. How many times do we have to learn the same lesson? Catch my latest Weekend Video on Substack where I break it all down. Link in reply.
Do you agree with Trump that only people with the right genetic background should come into the nation, and people with wrong genetics should be removed?
Hang on… sorry that was the Nazis - we definitely don’t agree with that, right MAGA?

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
Pete "The Crybaby" Hegseth, doesn't even know the First Amendment exists.
500,000 children died in year one after Trump gutted USAID
A betrayal of every principle we claim to hold
We @democracydefendersfund.org & @democracydefendersaction.org were the 1st to sue over Musk's DOGE actions
More in this week's publisher's note on @contrariannews.org -TN
More or less stealing documents…. A lack of respect for rules, maybe?
The number of people who died because they ended USAID…. Horrifying.
Once again, the Trump administration is using illegal tariffs to effectively raise taxes on consumers and small businesses.
That's why I'm suing to stop this round of tariffs and protect American families and their wallets.
BREAKING: Court orders Trump admin to provide Kennedy Center closure & renovation docs to trustee & our client @repbeatty.bsky.social bef. Mon. Board meeting--& allow her participation
Big win for @democracydefendersaction.org & WLG. PI briefing to follow to STOP shut down & demolition!
E. Jean Carroll, one of my personal heroes, took on Trump and won.
She’s one of the bravest people I’ve met.
She shared some thoughts on Trump and Epstein’s awful friendship.
