A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony. cnn.com/2026/11/11/politics/…

Pete Hegseth got yelled at by a Tomb Guard for laughing and carrying on in front of the Tomb, and of course, this isn't the first time Team Trump has been accused of disrespect at Arlington National Cemetery.
I wrote about the fracas that happened there two years ago.

One of the most meaningful parts of my time as First Lady was spending time with our nation’s remarkable veterans and military families. On Veterans Day, we recognize their extraordinary valor, service, and sacrifice for our nation. Let’s make sure that we show them how much we appreciate everything they do.

Raskin: Well, AOC and I have a $50 gift ban bill, which has been on the back burner for years under the Republicans.
In Congress, we are all governed by a $50 gift ban. And we can’t accept anything much more than a baseball cap. And most people are scared to do that. We just don’t take gifts.
Meantime, at the Supreme Court, they’re collecting hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in so-called gifts from people who have a tremendous interest in the work of the Supreme Court. They take trips around the world. They take luxury vacations. They get, in Justice Thomas’s case, a $400,000 recreational vehicle, a motor coach.
I think Justice Thomas also picked up private school tuition for a great-nephew. I mean, just outrageous things. Members of Congress would go to jail for any of those things, and they’re just doing it.
So the $50 gift ban applies to Congress. It theoretically applies also to people in the executive branch, and it must apply to people in the judiciary, in the Supreme Court

Today on Veteran’s Day I was thinking about what Trump said in 2015 about Senator John McCain which was he was “not a war hero” because he was captured during the Vietnam war. Then he said “I like people that weren’t captured“.

Throw back to last year when President Barack Obama surprised 79 veterans as they arrived in DC on an Honor Flight. He greeted each with a handshake and a Challenge Coin. Our heroes deserve honor and to be taken care of when they end their service. #DemsFightForVeteransCare

You’ve held the House majority for the past 46 months. You’ve held the Senate majority for the past 22 months. And you’ve controlled both chambers of Congress PLUS the White House for the past 22 months. You had plenty of opportunity to show Americans what you stood for.

ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE BETTE⁉️ In 1999, New York City planned to auction off more than 110 community gardens to real estate developers.
Bette Midler led a $4 million deal and worked with local groups and legal allies to buy and protect the properties — 114 in all!
Founded in 1995, her organization New York Restoration Project continues to maintain dozens of community gardens, clean up neglected parks, and plant hundreds of thousands of trees across the five boroughs 🌳
THIS is how you make a difference 💚

The cruelty never stops!

“RE-read”??
Garcia: I think Trump needs to reread the Constitution, which clearly lays out the powers of the Congress. Congress is an equal branch of government. Our job is to serve as a check and balance and to investigate, especially if there is corruption.
And so this idea that Donald Trump has sent his White House counsel to send me a letter threatening investigations of me, of Democrats who actually stand up to him and stand up to this corruption, is crazy. And it is so much a part of what Donald Trump does.
He tries to weaponize the government against people he perceives may be his political enemies.
The reality is that we’re not going to be intimidated. We have real investigations to conduct, and we’re going to take an aggressive posture in doing so.
