Flew to Afghan. w/different president on AF1. An insurgent missile struck Bagram runway before landing. Weather was bad so planned Marine 1 trip to Kabul scrubbed. We were w/president the whole time. Our safety wasn’t treated any differently from his. We were never decoys.
If anything, my pioneer ancestors would be appalled at the fact that members of the church are rejecting apostolic teachings about our moral obligations toward refugees. The application of those obligations to public policy is up for debate. Their existence is not.
Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases. Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by rigorous scientific evidence, patient safety, and independent medical and public health expertise. Altering a proven vaccination schedule without credible evidence risks weakening public confidence and putting children’s health at risk.
If you have questions about vaccines, talk to your child’s physician. Putting our children’s health at risk is not an option

Whether it's Joe Biden denying the New York Times a one-on-one interview or Donald Trump using a plane full of reporters as decoys in case Iran shot a missile at it, both sides have a difficult relationship with the media. cc @DougJBalloon
📸 Joe Biden may be battling Stage 4 cancer, but you know what he STILL does?
He shows up.
He shows up to Mass every week, just like he did yesterday. He shows up for his family. And he still shows up for the country he has spent his entire life serving.
I’ve admired this man for decades for exactly that reason.
If there is one person in public service I would want my son to emulate when he grows up, it’s @JoeBiden.
He puts other people first. He loves this country deeply. And at his core, he is just an insanely good and decent man.
I’m incredibly grateful that life has given me opportunities over the years to spend time with him and see the man up close in a way most people never get to.
And unlike most politicians, there really isn’t a public Joe Biden and a private Joe Biden.
He’s just Joe.
The same guy whether the cameras are on or not.
And I don’t give a shit what anyone says. Joe Biden will always be my favorite president. I believe history is going to be very, very good to him in the years ahead.
And he deserves it.
It went from a ballroom to a “Military Center.”
He’s building himself a Hitler-style bunker for when he refuses to leave office.
I’m starting to genuinely question if he knows how that story ends.
Notice that Trump has now totally dropped the pretense that what he's building in that big hole next to the White House is a ballroom. Last month it was a “Great National Security Facility and Ballroom”. Now it's just a "Military Center". Trump is building a bunker. 1/
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 30, the number is 98.5%.
Friendly reminder: there’s a money-laundering rapist pedophile felon sitting in the highest office in the land who is currently ruining your lives and he thinks it’s funny.
Trump in Nevada: “Michael Whatley should be your governor.”
Minor detail: Whatley is running for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina.
25th Amendment now!
Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
If you can’t impeach a President for laundering money, War crimes, corruption, Market Manipulations, illegal Wars nowadays, what can you impeach them for?
@Sharon_Educator@GovCox No kidding. So tone deaf. As if we just didn’t see him standing behind the Felon in Chief while he signed away our public lands.
I don't understand how this does not violate insider-trading laws. Trump is disclosing information (in this case, information about some of his future public statements as president, including statements about policy) that belongs to the US government in exchange for money. That violates his duty of trust and confidence to his employer (the govt), and is illegal.
And anyone who pays for the feed is knowingly paying for misappropriated information, which is illegal as well.
