comments are my own, who else's would they be?

Less than one-half of one percent of Americans wear the uniform. That’s it. Out of a country of more than 330 million people, a sliver raise their hand and say, “Send me.”
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of sitting across the table from some of them, and what stays with me is not the medals or the deployments. It’s the purpose.
It’s Tyler Merritt, who enlisted as a high school senior after 9/11, flew Apaches with the 160th, and then built Nine Line Apparel in Savannah so he could keep serving by hiring and lifting up fellow veterans.
It’s Steve Hotz, 17 years with the 82nd Airborne, who started Black Horse Forge in Fredericksburg first to heal himself and then to help others who brought ghosts home from war.
It’s Ryan Manion, who keeps her brother’s memory alive. Marine 1st Lt. Travis Manion was killed in Iraq in 2007. She reminds all of us what that empty place setting at the table really means.
It’s Chelsey Simoni and the veterans fighting for answers for those sickened by burn pits, still taking care of their own long after they came home.
When so few serve, the rest of us can lose touch with what they carry. The least we can do is close that gap: learn their names, hear their stories, hire them, thank them, and mean it.
Today we honor the half of one percent who chose purpose over comfort, and the families who serve right alongside them.
Happy Veterans Day. Thank you for your service.#veteransday

The Secret ballot system for leadership races is now, and always has been, absurd. You are elected to go to Washington and represent your constituents in a public and transparent manner.

Today was the day. Got to ring that dang bell, with some surprise visitors. Glad to have that done.

Anderson: "Fitzgerald, we are about 10 miles behind you, and gaining about 1 1/2 miles per hour. Fitzgerald, there is a target 19 miles ahead of us. So the target would be 9 miles on ahead of you."

Fitzgerald: "Well, am I going to clear?"

Anderson: "Yes. He is going to pass to the west of you."

Fitzgerald: "Well, fine."

Anderson: "By the way, Fitzgerald, how are you making out with your problem?"

Fitzgerald: "We are holding our own."

Anderson: "Okay, fine. I'll be talking to you later."

They never did speak later...The 29 men onboard the Fitzgerald will never again speak with anyone outside of the ship.

🚨What happened last Tuesday was shocking and historic. It calls for a historic response. Christians need to gather and seek the Lord. I’m going to host a time of fasting and prayer for the nation on Tuesday, December 15 from 12 to 1 at the Capitol. Meet me there!

Republican strategists/consultants who are saying we cannot win in 2028 should seek employment in the food service industry.

[Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain]

You’re a grifting swamp lobbyist who endorsed El Sayed.

Keep making those coins from resistance boomers though honey.

[Rachel Bovard @rachelbovard]

Rs aren’t getting noms again for 2 years, likely 4. Senate Rs have one job for the next month and it’s confirming every single pending judicial and civilian nom. ONE JOB.

Maybe they could consider working Mondays and Fridays.

CLASS. This is a great man right here. And a true servant of God.

[John James @JohnJamesMI]

Thank you, Michigan. The best is still yet to come and serving you has been the honor of a lifetime. 🇺🇸

[Curt Anderson @CurtOnMessage]

100% true

[Benjamin Domenech @bdomenech]

Because every Republican of every type lost, every faction will blame everyone else. The knives are out, sharpened, and thirsty for blood. And because you can obviously make the case against every faction and their precious priorities — the Iran War, the AWOL Senate, the overconfident MAGA bro political team, zombie neocons, the overreliance on Elon, AI confusion, the total lack of an affordability agenda beyond telling people to eat chicken and screwing over farmers to import Argentinian beef, Vivek Ramaswamy’s existence as a person — everyone will argue with the assured superiority complex that tells them they’re right.

Live look from Capitol Hill

[Kevin Madden @KevinMaddenDC]

@CurtOnMessage "Candidate A had wayyyy more sign-wavers out at (busy intersection) than Candidate B."

[Dan Hazelwood @HazelwoodDan]

@CurtOnMessage You know it is all going to come down to who votes and for who.

[Scott Manley @ManleyWMC]

@CurtOnMessage “My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.” This could have HUGE implications on voter turnout if true.

Massachusetts finally makes sense

Meet my grandma, Miss Annie Nicks! ❤️🇺🇸

[Curt Anderson @CurtOnMessage]

Election Day used to be miserable because people would call all day with STUPID information - "My aunt said low turnout because she was second in line at 7am", "some dude said record high turnout at his precinct", "it's raining in PG County so turnout there will be low", "accident on rt. 301 so"...etc, stupid, etc.
But now, it is FAR worse, it's 3 weeks of every self appointed "data scientist", "modeler", "microtargeter", constantly publishing irrelevant and incomplete information, that invariably contradicts the last useless information they sent a few hours ago. MAKE IT STOP!

[John James @JohnJamesMI]

That’s me with my hero Rosa Parks — the woman who showed me that real change starts when ordinary people decide they’ve had enough.

She channeled her exhaustion into rebellion so I could channel my heartbreak into hope.

She sat so I could run.
I’m running for Governor so Michigan can stop settling and start winning.

Now it’s your turn. Demand the front seat.
