The former top US general whom Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired last year criticized the use of the military for political missions in an op-ed published Friday, pointing to the Trump administration’s deployment of troops to clamp down on crime in major cities. https://t.co/Yy7Tp3OhqM
In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

It can take a lot to get me to come outside these days… but Jesse Collins may be one of the few who can.
I had a wonderful experience working with him and his team on the Grammy tribute to our legends, Roberta Flack and D’Angelo. When he asked me to do this, I had to say yes.
Before I say anything else, forgive me for being late with this post. I’m in Morocco today after a performance in the Canary Islands last night and have been fully occupied, but I could not let more time pass without expressing my gratitude.
To Jesse Collins, BET, and the entire team, thank you for creating a space for artistry, legacy, love, and celebration.
And now…
To the Kings and Queens who celebrated and serenaded me at yesterday’s tribute:

I am deeply honored.
THANK YOU.
Each of you is remarkable. You represent far more than yourselves. You carry the hopes of families, the strength of communities, and the stories of generations. Your gifts are rooted in legacy, and your presence was deeply felt.
Thank you for acknowledging me.
Thank you for celebrating me.
The love I felt in that room is something I will carry with me for a very long time.
My desire is that each of you experiences that same love returned to you abundantly by all the people, families, and communities that you pour into, and that you feel as celebrated, as appreciated, and as cherished as you made me feel.
To God be the glory. Always.

Surrounding yourself with greatness inspires you to achieve greatness, because when you win, it's always better to win together.
#ICYMI I went by the Hampton University Ministers Conference to tell them about the Man in the middle of Calvary.
Don’t fret. Don’t worry about who’s in political power, trust in God who has all power in His hands.
Elections may come and go, leaders may rise and fall, but God is still on the throne.
Earlier today on #MorningJoe on MSNOW, Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman discussed their new book, Regime Change, and what their reporting reveals about the inner workings of the Trump White House.
During our conversation, I asked about the administration’s approach to race, representation, and outreach to Black communities, and how the second Trump administration differs from the first. We also discussed the rollback of criminal justice reform efforts, the changing dynamics inside the White House, and what those shifts mean for the country.
@VigilantFox@kmita3 When the Clintons left office they were worth $1.2 million, take your moronic head out of your ass and stop trying to protect the Trumps, $2.3 Billion before Jan 20, 2025, now $7.6 B, Don jr $50 million and now $750 Million, the trumps are the biggest corrupt family in history
Stephen A. Smith admits he can’t wrap his head around “how the hell” the Clintons and Obamas left office worth upwards of $100,000,000 after “serving” the American people.
“Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas, grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell he and the Clinton Foundation are worth hundreds of millions of dollars beats me.”
“Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the President of the United States. And last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000.”
“How the hell you depart from office, [together] you worth over $200 million?”
Clintons’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Clintons’ net worth today: ~$120,000,000
Obamas’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Obamas’ net worth today: ~$70,000,000
Megan Kelly has no clue Haiti had to pay France over decades and decades billions for its freedom, had to pay reparations for France’s loss of labor, meaning slaves , and that is the biggest reason why it’s as messed up as it still is today. Eff off Megyn.
Raphael Warnock: The United States of America has become the mass incarceration capital of the world.
Bill Maher: There's a lot of ways to go to jail in America.
Warnock: Unless you're in the Oval Office.
They want to deport Haitian immigrants and TPS holders in South Florida — the people cooking, cleaning, working hotels, caring for homes, and keeping this economy moving. And didn’t they already tell Black students they want them back in the fields, making beds, cleaning hotels, and being nannies? That’s Project 2025. Not on my watch when I get to Congress.
The enemy is not fighting you for where you are, he’s fighting you for where you’re going. He knows you are made in the image of Almighty God. He wouldn’t bother you if you weren’t a threat. If you didn’t have something valuable, something to impact this world, he’d leave you alone.
