Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

At Newburgh in 1783, Washington walked into a room of soldiers who wanted to march on Congress and install him as a constitutional monarch. He reached into his pocket for his eyeglasses — the calculated theater of a man who understood exactly what the moment required — and said he had grown not only gray but nearly blind in the service of his country. Some men broke into tears. The conspiracy died in that room. Nichols asks us to sit with what Washington chose not to do in that moment. A lesser man, he writes, would have nodded and taken the throne. Washington had the army, the love of the citizenry, and a government too weak to stop him. He chose to go home instead. Trump stood in Arlington National Cemetery and looked at the graves of the honored dead and said: “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” He said that in the same country, about the same army, whose commander-in-chief he was. The distance between those two men is not partisan. It is the entire argument for why the republic was designed the way it was.

Trumps loyalty to Putin is one of the most astonishing continuities of Trumps presidency.

.@johnthune @SenSchumer get it together and save the country.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: federalreserve.gov/newsevents/spe…

To see the United States listed along side this group of countries is sickening in itself. That the United States is doing so in favor of a potential nuclear meltdown is even worse. What have we become?

Once upon a time and regardless of administration, US diplomacy was by far the world’s most professional. In my 30 years dealing with diplomats no one came close to the Americans, whether or not I agreed or liked what they said. This, however, is Burkino Faso level.

Here's the letter NYT lead newsroom attorney David McCraw sent to Trump. The paper said: "No retraction is needed. No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so."
