Good stuff !

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

Congress must get on the right side of history & support a democracy, free market nation who wants to ally w/ us, and to oppose a thug who is invading its neighbor. We’ve waited long enough to help Ukraine & put sanctions on Russia. This is our Churchill vs Chamberlain moment.

So embarrassing. Canadians, I apologize. This will not last.

@cgasper Chris, Hang tough and get well soon! Look forward to reading and seeing you back on “Sports Street” in the words of the legendary Worcester Telegram sports reporter Nick Manzello ! Will miss your writing for now.

"He's the hero everyone says he is."

The friends and family of Boston Firefighter Robert Kilduff Jr. reflected on his life of service during his funeral Mass on Monday.

Kilduff, a Marine veteran and 24-year veteran of the Boston Fire Department, fell from the third story of a

Russian soldiers are losing to Ukrainian warriors on the battlefield, so Putin has decided to increase his terrorist attacks on Ukrainian civilians far from the battlefield.

Just awful to watch. Wish my country was doing more to help save Ukrainian lives.

Twenty years ago tonight after nearly a year of organizing and campaigning our team assembled ready to go. The first step towards winning the Democratic nomination for Lt. Governor started at the convention. The hard work of the staff and volunteers paid off ! A great team !

Bobby Kilduff was one of our best.

For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)

In 1905, Truman went to show his new blue Army uniform to his Confederate-sympathizing grandma.

She wasn’t thrilled.

“Harry, this is the first time since 1863 that a blue uniform has been in this house. Don’t bring it here again.”

Her farm had been plundered during the Civil War.

Building American warships in South Korea or Japan is the worst idea since the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

We have the skilled workers, the shipyards, and the know-how right here in America — especially at Bath Iron Works.

Pentagon pauses Canada joint military board, pointing to Carney remarks https://t.co/4E6u4beQo9

Incredible damage to US national security. Cutting ties to Canada with our shared air and ground 5000 mile border? Our shared values? Our integrated economies? Our shared history?

Poland spends nearly 5% of its GDP on defense and has done what we ask of our NATO allies. Blindsiding them while canceling a U.S. armored brigade deployment sends a weak message to Putin and a terrible message to our allies.

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

The careless decision to reduce our force posture in Europe, along with moves by Pete Hegseth and his political henchmen to force out some of our finest general officers is amateur hour at best and deadly at worst.

Hegseth continues to surprise and disrespect our greatest allies and some of our best military professionals with impulsive decisions not grounded in reality or good judgment. If the rumors are true that Hegseth is trying to sideline General Chris Donahue, one of our nation’s finest warfighters, by downgrading U.S. Army Europe-Africa to a 3-star command, he is taking another step down a dangerous path. A step that is not in the best interests of our nation or our servicemembers.

General Donahue has dedicated his entire career to upholding the high standards and warrior ethos that Hegseth claims he is restoring to our ranks. Gen. Donahue has led Soldiers at all levels in Airborne (including Ft. Bragg’s 82nd) and Mechanized units, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and our most prestigious special operation units. He deployed over 20 times in support of Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, New Dawn, Inherent Resolve, Atlantic Resolve, Freedom’s Sentinel, European Assure, Deter and Reinforce, and in support of the Sudan crisis.

Hegseth would do well to surround himself with more patriots like General Donahue and to get his henchmen, who are not qualified to carry Donahue's bag, out of the Pentagon. Keep your word, Mr. Secretary: choose meritocracy over your mediocre yes-men.
