And this is your guy, huh? Thank you Seth Meyers

As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation. It is not a place for politics. And yet, as was reported this week, Donald Trump’s team chose to film a video there, resulting in an altercation with cemetery staff. Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt. This is nothing new from Donald Trump. This is a man who has called our fallen service members “suckers” and “losers” and disparaged Medal of Honor recipients. A man who, during a previous visit to the cemetery, reportedly said of fallen service members, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” This is a man who is unable to comprehend anything other than service to himself. If there is one thing on which we as Americans can all agree, it is that our veterans, military families, and service members should be honored, never disparaged, and treated with nothing less than our highest respect and gratitude. And it is my belief that someone who cannot meet this simple, sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States of America. I will always honor the service and sacrifice of all of America’s fallen heroes, who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our beloved nation and our cherished freedoms. I mourn them and salute them. And I will never politicize them.

Physicians who speak about politics do so as a reaction to policies that are based in ideology, not science Individuals should be able to pursue the choices they want unless there is a compelling scientific/public health reason to limit that liberty A rant follows 1/

This is the best “why I’m voting for Kamala Harris” pitch, ever.

New Indiana diploma requirements don't meet standards for admission to flagship indiana higher education institutions I am sure this will go well

We all have the right to voice our opinions, but let us strive to do so with dignity and respect. #abovethenoise

This is an astonishing story, illustrating what happens to a political system when one party can rule without oversight.

Wow. No wonder Trump is raging over on Truth Social. Watch this ad. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The hypocrisy.

BREAKING: Fox News fans melt down as a stunning new report destroys their right-wing myth that President Biden has transformed America into a crime ridden wasteland — and in fact shows that things are rapidly improving. According to figures from data analysis firm AH Datalytics, homicide rates have plummeted by a staggering 13% since last year. "The overall trend was extraordinarily positive and should be recognized as such," wrote analyst Jeff Asher in his end-of-year summary. The U.S. is on track to end 2023 with 18,450 homicides compared to 21,156 in 2022. It's worth noting that these numbers would be substantially lower if Republicans would just support common sense gun laws. Another analysis carried out by ABC News discovered that seven out of the ten largest American cities saw a double-digit decline. New York City dropped by 11%, Los Angeles by 16%, and Chicago by 13%. Meanwhile, conservative news outlets continue to run wall-to-wall propaganda claiming that Democratically-run cities are overrun with crime. Unfortunately, 77% of Americans mistakenly believe that crime has spiked in the past year. Over half believe that crime has risen in their area. "In other words, tell your friends and family because they probably think crime is surging nationally. And in this case, they’re almost certainly wrong," stated Asher. That is exactly the right approach. We have to spread the truth on this issue. Democrats are solving problems and it falls to all of us to make sure that our fellow voters know it.

I wrote last night about how Republicans’ perceived vulnerability will make them more and more susceptible to fact checking and investigative journalism. Here is another important example of that. Honestly, it’s very cool as a historian to see this information shift:

Re Judge Chutkan's decision today to set a Trump trial date of March 4th, as I noted yesterday: "We should thank Black women for doing what a bunch of white guys have failed to do for years: hold Donald Trump, hold a former president, accountable."

I stopped into my favorite local coffee shop today around 3:15pm. Imagine my surprise to see HEPL board member Ray Maddalone, soon to be former HEPL board member Laura Alerding and the HEPL legal team from Barnes & Thornburg - Chris Greisl & Mark Crandley.

I’ve been asked for months to do an interview, but I couldn’t bring myself to relive the event & its aftermath. @markalesia’s reputation & character gave me the confidence to share my story because this is not just about me. Please read!

"It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are very beautiful and very smart... and it breaks my soul that you think you're not good enough, like we're always supposed to be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. We have to be skinny, but not too much and you must not say you want to be skinny. You must say you want a healthy weight, but also… YES you have to be skinny. You must have money, but you can’t ask for money because that would be rude. You gotta be a boss, but you can't be tough. You must lead, but you cannot crush other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mom, but you don’t talk about your kids all the time. You have to be a professional, but also always take care of everyone else. You are responsible for men’s misbehavior, WHICH IS CRAZY, but if you notice that, you’re accused of being a whine. You're expected to keep yourself pretty for men, but not so pretty you 'try them too much' or threaten other women… because you're supposed to be part of the sorority. You must always stand out and always be very grateful… but never forget the system is fixed, so find how to acknowledge it but remember to be grateful. You must never grow old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never stumble, never fail or show fear and, of course, you must never be sassy. It's very hard, it's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you. And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything WRONG, but also, everything that happens is YOUR FAULT. I'm tired of seeing myself and every woman doing the impossible for others to love us." - America Ferrera as Gloria Barbie (2023)

@SpeakerMcCarthy Trump added more than $23,000 for every person in the United States. And Biden asked you to negotiate a budget five days after you finally produced even a vague plan (it was not actually a budget). Why do you keep lying? It’s insulting.
