This likely would’ve been a cool, nonpartisan event with just about any other president but this administration ruins and gets their stink over everything
Danish troops deployed to Afghanistan with NATO from 2002-2021 and were in combat in Helmand Province. They suffered the highest per capita death total of any troop contributing country. Small but mighty, courageous ally.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.
The Senate’s reconciliation bill could end North Carolina’s Medicaid expansion, jeopardize food assistance for 1.4 million people, risk the well-being of farmers and rural grocery stores, and roll back the economic progress we’ve made in our clean energy sector.
I urge North Carolina’s Congressional delegation to vote against this bill.
Just confirmed ICE visited @GhostburgerDC in Shaw too seeking I-9 verifications.
"It feels like they're trying to make an example out of nothing," says owner Josh Phillips. "If they're supposedly looking for criminals, then why are they harassing restaurants?"
I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.
Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.
The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. https://t.co/5k5t9RYYC2
Pitch-perfect response to Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin from @GeorgetownLaw Dean Bill Treanor.
It’s always a privilege and honor to be part of the GULC community (and to be Bill’s colleague), but *especially* today.
