My Grandfather was Platoon Sgt. in a (segregated) MP detachment at Ft. Monmoth in 1946. That's him in the front row holding the flag. Hope all you vets have had a Happy Veterans' Day!

Happy Birthday 🎉 to all my fellow US Marines! Semper Fi!

Someday, when the next generation asks us
what we did in this moment to protect our freedoms,
will we be able to say: everything we could?

Voting ends November 8th.

#ProtectOurFreedoms. #VoteDemocrats.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

Since the horrific attack on Paul early Friday, we have been deluged with thousands of messages conveying concern, prayers and warm wishes. We are most grateful.

Thanks to the excellent team at @ZSFGCare, Paul is making steady progress on what will be a long recovery process.

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

Just to set the record straight: A person armed with a knife started out for Kavanaugh's house. Before he got within range of the marshals surrounding Kavanaugh's house, he made a phone call and turned himself in. Paul Pelosi was bashed in the head with a hammer.

@PoliticsVerse 😭

@Novemberthir Yeah, he'd be very sure of what happened

@HumanWhit It starts with crappy elementary schools that don't prepare kids. We need to fix these schools rather than lowering later standards.

@InvestmentTalk3 @davidhogg111 And that's what the checkmark is about. People can't get over the idea that it some kind of mark of expertise or seniority. It's just verification of the identity.

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

@InvestmentTalk3 "Bulk *Flower*". Wow.

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

A one time payment for a checkmark makes sense. The checkmark means the person is who they say they are. This takes some work to verify. There's no ongoing cost for the check after that and no reason to charge or pay for it.

@WomanWhimsical @shire_fairy The lack of honesty is the key. There are, in fact messages to be had, but they loose credibility by exaggerating.

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

@Marmel I had no issues at all

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

@rcwmsn @muskQu0tes @elonmusk Guy spends $44b just so he can troll at will?

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

@WomanWhimsical @shire_fairy As far as I know, it the same BS.

What if the future of electricity generation is not about massive power plants but cells on homes and commercial buildings, and street and traffic lights generating only what they need, not loosing power to transmission lines? How would your power company feel about that?

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

🤣Plenty. I'm sure I have more blocks than followers 🤣

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

@garretdillahunt @Seahawks Okay, but I still like your acting.

[Virgil Simpson @HorseyDC]

I'm not going to tell anybody to stay, but I'll always help spread @SenLouiseLucas' message in Virginia.

[L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas]

I’ve been reading some Democrats are quitting twitter. I am not. I did not become President Pro Tempore of the Senate by running from a fight and I am not going to start running now. STAY AND FIGHT.
