If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.

It’s deeply concerning how many reactions to Karen Read’s NOT GUILTY verdict reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of the judicial process.
In our legal system, the burden of proof in a criminal trial lies with the prosecution. To secure a conviction, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the alleged crime. This is not a suggestion, it is the standard set forth under due process protections.
In both trials, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts failed to meet that burden. The prosecution did not definitively prove that John O’Keefe was struck by a vehicle, and they offered no credible explanation for the dog bite injuries sustained. A rational, reasonable person reviewing the evidence, or lack thereof, would be compelled to conclude that reasonable doubt exists… thus the NOT GUILTY verdict.
This is exactly why jury trials are so risky: too often, emotion, ignorance, or a desire for retribution replaces sound legal reasoning. Understanding the law is not optional in a courtroom. It’s the foundation of justice.
