You can celebrate the rescue of our airman and be grateful for the people who carried it out while also opposing the war. Those things aren’t in conflict. Honoring courage doesn’t require endorsing the decisions that put people in harm’s way.

I’ve driven on roads in Thailand, Mexico, Italy, even Florida. The menace that Maryland drivers pose is truly unique

We are on the scene of a crash at 7th and Q Streets NW in DC where a bus was struck by a vehicle, causing it to crash into a building. Three people sustained minor injuries, including the bus operator. @DCPoliceDept and @dcfireems are leading the investigation.

If you’re lost behind enemy lines, we will move heaven and earth to try and bring you home alive.
If we can’t do that, we’ll move heaven and earth to bring you home anyway.
That’s the promise, and it’s non-negotiable.
I’ve been worried about the WSO all day. Glad he’s safe.

Kristen Clarke did not leave the Justice Department quietly. She left, took the general counsel position at the NAACP, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday in March, and then sat down to explain precisely what was done.
The cases her division spent years building — carefully constructed voting rights enforcement actions — were "withdrawn from the courts, dismissed without basis, without any justification offered to the public." No explanation. No legal rationale offered. Gone.
She documented what replaced the people who built those cases: "reckless, sloppy work." Missing filing deadlines. Typos in court filings. An official who accidentally revealed a federal civil rights probe in a social media post. "Its ranks are now being filled by people who are inexperienced, who don't know what they're doing, who've never enforced federal laws before."
The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department is the unit that enforced the Voting Rights Act, pursued discriminatory redistricting, and brought cases against jurisdictions that systematically blocked minority voters. Clarke calls it "nothing more than a shadow of its former self."
She is now general counsel at the organization that will litigate against the department she built. The person who wrote those cases is now the person who will try to bring them back in court.
That is not a footnote. That is the next chapter.

NEW: In 2021, Kristen Clarke became the first Black woman to serve as the Department of Justice’s civil rights chief. Five years later, she says the department has “fully retreated from the mission.” democracydocket.com/news-alerts/wa…

As a former Marine embassy guard who served during the era of the Benghazi discourse, it is remarkable to me how little discussion there is that the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia got hit by a missile and had multiple floors (including the CIA station) destroyed & lit on fire.

For the 21st anniversary of the first game at Nationals Park, the Nats had a fan who was born the day the ballpark opened onto the field for a ceremonial first sip of beer

This is the kind of game the Spurs need before the playoffs. Gotta execute in crunch time in the half court. Getting quality rep here against former champs who have been there.
