Eighteen Ukrainian soldiers died fighting for the U.S. in Iraq. Many more Ukrainian pilots and contractors died in Afghanistan.
Zero American soldiers fought for Ukraine.

When I put on the uniform as an Army Ranger, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath didn't expire when I left the military, and it certainly didn't change when I was elected to Congress.

Six months ago, President Trump called for my arrest, prosecution, and execution, all because of a video reminding our servicemembers of their oaths and obligations under the law.

After the President’s threats, what we saw from Jeanine Pirro and the Department of Justice was a blatant, dangerous abuse of power. They tried to bring bogus criminal charges against me, Senator Mark Kelly, and others simply for restating the law. Pirro has been one of the President’s political stooges who has shamelessly tried to weaponize the justice system to intimidate perceived political enemies and silence free speech.

When a U.S. Attorney discards prosecutorial ethics and the law to carry out political hit jobs, there must be accountability. Prosecutors who violate their ethical duties, abuse their authority, and subvert the justice system should face consequences. No one is above the law.

Jason Selvig: “What’s Donald Trump’s greatest accomplishment in his first year and a half?”

Trump supporter: “Trump’s done a lot of things. Number one, a lot of people don’t realize, he got our country back because we’ve been under the reign of Great Britain the last 125 years, they destroyed the evidence”

JS: “Wait, we’ve been under the reign of Great Britain?”

TS: “That’s why King Charles come here, he thought he was going to manipulate Donald Trump. And Trump went along with him cause that’s who he is. But that’s what the 250 years was really about was we got our country back. You just gon have to research just like I did. It’s true”

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up.

He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour.

Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself.

Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it.

Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows.

Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result.

Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing.

The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.

Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.

In many situations like this, the use of armed officers is 100% for show: they could have just called the guy in and arrested him at a standard check-in.

Instead, they’re deliberately sowing fear while creating propaganda for the many cameras they bring along with them.

Spare everyone the lectures on rhetoric. Your guy has burned down every ounce of political decorum and you cheered it on like a trained seal.

There has been no single figure more radicalizing, destabilizing, or corrosive to this country in the last 100 years than Donald Trump.
