"We can be pessimistic and give up unilaterally. Or we can believe in ourselves and in our country, do the hard work, make our own luck, and hopefully, prevail. We always have a choice." Amb. Marie Yovanovitch, 13 Feb 2020. #GoMasha

Who knew that White House Communications Director Steven Cheung isn’t married & has no kids. He attended California State University,Sacramento majoring in computer & Political Science,but never earned a degree. He did graduate High School though & his parents are immigrants.

BREAKING: We're asking the Office of Special Counsel & State Dept IG to investigate reports that diplomats' promotions hinge on how they vote & who they donate to
If true, that's a political loyalty test & the law bars it

My late colleague and brilliant co U.S. Science Envoy with me in the Obama Admin the @Caltech Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Ahmed Zewail would disagree. God rest his soul he didn’t have to endure this, and of course RFK Jr forgets that it was the Arab scientists of the Middle Ages who kept Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen alive to hand it down in the Renaissance. My favorite books on this topic attached

🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay.
The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power. meidasnews.com/news/trump-do…

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park
The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court

West Point graduate and Army veteran Cait Conley fires back at Rep. Mike Lawler after he questioned her military service.
“When this guy who never left the comfort of his couch after 9/11 tries to come at my service, I think it's just a true reflection of who he is.”
So, "Duck & Cover" practice sessions at Mt. Vernon Elementary School were of no benefit, but made us feel secure😊.
Pretty sure Dad, an Electrical Engineer at Naval Research Laboratory in D.C., knew better, but🤫didn't tell us so we wouldn't be frightened.

It’s time for a constitutional amendment to reform the pardon power. Trump has turned it into a pay to play debacle and a shield for his corruption. No more.
SCOOP: White House lawyers weigh preemptive pardons for large numbers of junior admin staff, as MAGA allies press for protections for lower ranking aides
Under discussion is pardons everyone in certain policy, like deportation
Does not seem imminent

We usually think of the Double Bass as the “big” instrument in the orchestra... until the Octobass enters the chat.
This is a true “David and Goliath” moment.

This is totally dishonest. The White House didn’t work with Pope Leo XIV on securing this temporary ceasefire.
Leo XIV was involved with this for months.
Even while he was in the hospital recovering from lung cancer surgery, he called Putin and then Zelenskyy.
The pope wasn’t a supporting actor. He was the protagonist.
