Native woman trying to do the right thing. We all need to stand strong.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

John Roberts’ Supreme Court has perverted justice and corrupted the nation from the top down.

Let’s make him the first US Chief Justice to be impeached.

Tell Congress to rally behind this and get it done! https://t.co/TVKgC1ilEm

[Senator Jacky Rosen @SenJackyRosen]

Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is taking donor money and depositing it into a private JPMorgan account – and we have no transparency about who is overseeing these funds and how they will be used.

Secretary Rubio refused to answer my question when I asked him if Donald Trump or any family member could access this money. I am deeply concerned by what the Administration plans to do with these funds, which are meant to support the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and help Palestinian civilians.

Cleveland did not send me to Congress to be interrupted, talked over, and lied to.

Especially not by Trump officials who are punishing people with SNAP cuts and higher food prices every day.

@DougWahl1 Why not? But it wouldn’t be “defecting”. It would be self improvement.

[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

Watchdog group Public Citizen found that White House ballroom donors won more than $50 billion in government contracts after giving to the project. One of the authors of the report says, "the donations from these companies... are no gift, they're a grift."

86% of Americans want this. But Republicans block it every single time.

@Jennifer55gt Yes, but that was wrong. Gregorian monks established the “days of the week” and the elevation of Sunday to being “the lord’s day”. But which lord? Theirs, of course. The same monks wrote all the rhetoric that Xians call the Bible. “Holier than thou” indeed.
