This may be the image that defines America's 250th birthday.
A woman sits calmly on a Washington Metro train as masked members of the white nationalist and domestic terrorist group Patriot Front surround her.
They covered their faces.
She didn't.
Earlier in the day, Patriot Front marched through the nation's capital carrying Confederate flags and chanting that America must be "reclaimed," the latest expression of a white nationalist movement that has grown increasingly visible, violent, emboldened, and politically influential in recent years.
Their ideology is explicit.
Their courage, apparently, is not.
Not one of them was willing to show his face.
And then there is her.
No mask. No uniform. No fear.
Just an American woman refusing to surrender an inch of her dignity to a group of men who appeared to be seeking exactly that.
The symbolism is almost too perfect.
250 years after the Declaration of Independence, and six decades after Americans marched and died to make its promises apply to everyone, a group of masked white nationalists rode the socialist Metro home in anonymity.
The woman they tried to intimidate is the one America will remember.
The people who hide their faces do not define this country.
The people who refuse to be afraid do.
Conan O’Brien: “I should warn you, tonight could get political. And if that makes you uncomfortable, there’s an alternate #Oscars hosted by Kid Rock at the Dave & Busters down the street”
Just 350 miles from Washington, D.C., McDowell County, WV, is among the poorest parts of this country and many homes lack drinkable water. This Sunday, 60 Minutes visits the birthplace of food stamps to learn about the impact of looming federal cuts. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW
This is great. Especially considering 60 Minutes is airing a special tomorrow night about how McDowell County lacks drinking water. Hope he gets back in time to watch it! #wvpol
My home country Scotland 🏴

🚨 BREAKING: Scottish officials say two people were taken from Scotland in the middle of the night by the U.S. military, despite a direct order from Scotland’s highest court that they remain in the country.
Now Scotland’s Greens are calling for real consequences; including evicting U.S. troops from the base at publicly owned Prestwick Airport.
This is a sovereignty breach and allies are starting to say it out loud.
Funny how the Black guy earned his Nobel Peace prize while the white guy who got rid of DEI to 'focus on individual merit' had to take the prize from a Latina who earned it.
Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."
There’s a universe in which Donald Trump got hugged by his dad, Stephen Miller had a date to the prom, and Mike Johnson embraced his sexuality and in THAT universe, we have flying cars and free healthcare.
The DOJ’s document dump of hundreds of thousands of pages failed to comply with the law authored by @RepThomasMassie and me.
One document, 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, was completely redacted.
I explain what is missing and what the survivors and their lawyers are still expecting to be released.
ZERO cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in women under age 25 in Australia 🇦🇺
None . Nada . Zip.
For the first time since records began!
How did this happen?
One word
VACCINES!!!!!
There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.
Jen and I are praying for the service members, their families, and the entire National Guard community.
