Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes – not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.

congresswoman lauren underwood has had 14 of her bills signed into law between two presidents. she doesn't get the media attention that others get for obvious reasons, but she is one of the FEW doing the actual work. none of your future presidential faves can say that.

They were called "Lost Friends" and "Information Wanted" ads. Freed people, searching for family sold away decades earlier.
Mothers describing children by a scar on a knee, a song they hummed, the name of the trader who drove them off. Husbands naming a wife last seen at an auction in 1849. Grown men searching for a mother whose face they'd carried since age six.
One New Orleans paper's column was read aloud from the pulpits of some 800 churches — so the ads could reach people who could not read, in every congregation, every Sunday.
We'll never get the spinoff but I feel like these two are somewhere in an alternate universe, free of stress, enjoying their age gap relationship and selling miniature furniture together in an antique shop somewhere on the Eastern Shore.
It seems increasingly likely that one day Americans are going to awaken to a mushroom cloud in the Middle East and the beginnings of a World War without a single politician in D.C. having taken a single meaningful step to remove an unambiguously psychopathic president from power
