US Army Private Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, TX was one of the soldiers killed by Iran over the weekend. I think about how a chunk of this country wouldn't view her as a "true American" but yet we'll send her to fight and die in our wars.
May her memory be a blessing.
I visited the small town of Marfa, TX.
A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign!
Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶
My son is taking part of in a social experiment. He has to wear a MAGA hat and record how people react to him. So far, on the first day, he has been spit on, yelled at, and had water tossed in his face.
I am curious to see what will happen when he finally leaves the house!
Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk — and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.
To the families still carrying that weight — I see you. The pain doesn’t go away, but neither does the pride.
Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.
We honor them.
We thank them.
And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.
At The King’s Trust 50th anniversary event at the Royal Albert Hall, Sir Rod Stewart shook King Charles’ hand and said: “May I say, well done in the Americas. You were superb, absolutely superb, you put that little ratbag in his place" (referring, of course, to Donald Trump).
@davidarlington1@UAW Haha. Most Americans don’t have any money left over to buy stocks. They live paycheck to paycheck. Those working people are the backbone of this country. Their hard work are making the ppl at the top rich. Rich ppl aren’t smart, just privileged.
@davidarlington1@UAW Exactly. I don’t understand why they think that the top 1% holding more wealth than the entire U.S. middle class is wrong.
Trickling down is the rich pissing on us and telling you that you’d better be thankful that it’s raining.
Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it.
But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.
But it's really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country. This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be. And the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values. Keep the faith.
