@leah_rosenbaum @mefrankel @TheWarHorseNews Thank you for writing this. Though their numbers are dwindling, so many Vietnam vets have spent years battling illnesses they have/had no idea were related to their service. My dad, who became ill at age 40—and spent the rest of his life in and out of hospitals—was one of them.💔

@elonmusk How do these jibe: We will DRILL, BABY, DRILL and we will become Energy Independent, and even Dominant again. The United States has more liquid gold under our feet than any other Nation, and it’s not even close. The Republican Party will harness that potential to power our future

Last week, after @marshall_anne broke this important story, I asked how in 2024-a decade after the end of #DontAskDontTell-the military hadn't fixed this yet. Today, President Biden took a major step to do just that. #LGBTQ #veterans thewarhorse.org/biden-pardons-…

How many stories are there like Mona McGuire’s? Likely tens of thousands, experts say. But the military has so far denied or delayed our FOIA requests to reveal the true scope and impact of its discriminatory past.

In 2024, a decade after the end of #DontAskDontTell you’d think the military had fixed this by now. But this powerful story by @marshall_anne shows how LGBTQ veterans forced to plead guilty to charges of sodomy and indecent acts are still paying the price. thewarhorse.org/va-benefit-cha…

It’s the perfect morning for a @juliasulek classic. This page-turner has it all. mercurynews.com/2024/03/24/did… Who’s behind a highway robbery over a stolen child-at-play sign that led to the death of Diamond Sysco? A year later her mom and a detective may be close to cracking the case.

Wow-BART's Board Director weighs in on our @mercnews exclusive about VTA misleading public
Debora Allen@debora_allen1
“Board directors are irrelevant, purely ceremonial. Staff likes it that way” former @SFBART directors told me in 2017. Capital project mgrs said “the board is kept in the dark on critical #infrastructure problems and cost escalations”. It’s all true. mercurynews.com/2024/01/18/exc…

Dusting off my X to showcase another powerful investigative report by @DavidANickerson & @juliasulek on Santa Clara County’s tragic missteps in the fentanyl death of 3-month-old baby Phoenix Castro. This inside look at the decisions made is infuriating. mercurynews.com/2023/11/12/fai…
