Unfortunately, I’m not a morning person, and as I get older, I’m no longer a night owl, so I’ve realized I’m basically a college professor during office hours, reachable between 11:30 and 12:30 or 3 and 4, or not at all.
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 Reichstag Fire occurred on February 27, 1933, when Germany’s parliament building was set ablaze and blamed on a Dutch communist, Marinus van der Lubbe. Hitler used the incident to push through the Reichstag Fire Decree, which suspended civil liberties and allowed mass arrests of political opponents. This event became a key step in the Nazis’ consolidation of power, leading to the Enabling Act and Hitler’s dictatorship.
Dr. Monarez: “The childhood vaccine schedule has been vetted and validated through science and evidence. The almost 20 different diseases that are mitigated through those vaccines are very important…”
Sen. Marshall: “Do you believe any or all of those should be mandated?”
Dr. Monarez: “CDC does not mandate vaccines.”
A few weeks ago, I found myself deeply understanding why so many women just quit.
But we don’t. Because they matter. Their future matters.
So we stay in it. For them.
Rest in Peace Chuck Mangione. The master of the flugel horn.
"Feels So Good" was everywhere.
