Absolutely shameful and it disgusts me I know the person who ordered it.
The Trump administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects — according to two people familiar with the incident. nbcnews.com/politics/donald-…

Thoughts and prayers for our allies. May his memory be a blessing.
The Royal Canadian Navy is deeply saddened to announce that the sailor lost during an incident in Halifax on January 24, 2025 was Petty Officer, 2nd Class (PO 2) Gregory Applin. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. canada.ca/en/department-nati…

Thinking of you tonight, shipmate. I only hope you are resting easy and that your family knows that you are remembered and honored.

Only good Russian oligarch, government employee, or politician is a dead one.
Putins goal is still to march into Kyiv as a conqueror, this hasn’t and will not change. There are literally no signs that Putin would entertain peace, literally none.

As we enter the unknowns of 2025, I turn to this song from The Killers. I would be lying if I didn't say I was terrified about the next four years & how damaging it will be. As I swore in the oath, I will stand against all enemies, foreign and domestic. youtu.be/OIT0ucf_gys?si=Ai5B…

HELL YEAH.
🇫🇮 made yesterday a helicopter raid and boarded the vessel suspected of destroying 🇪🇪-🇫🇮 power connection cable. Many have published this as a police operation by 🇫🇮 SWAT team Karhuryhmä ("the Bear team"). It was not. It was a full scale SOF strike and military operation. 🧵1/7

With the fall of the Assad regime in Syria (a very good thing, don't get me wrong), all I can think of is this amazing scene from one of my favorite movies of all time. "We'll see, said the Zen Master." youtu.be/e2cjVhUrmII?si=p71j…

These organizations mean the world to me since the birth and passing of my son, Parker, and were either there in my time of need or are working to help those who are now or will be where we were. Thank you.

You know, even if Notre Dame won today, just remember that my unranked hometown team (who has played MEH the entire year) came into their house this year, beat them, and got paid $1.4 million to do so.

Literally was educating some East Coasters at a wedding last night in Maryland with @befuddledconfid about the Edmund Fitzgerald before we did a round of shots in honor of her and the 29 crew who went down with her...

Freaking nailed it.
‘you live in a progressive area, you’ll be fine’ it’s not just about me, it was NEVER just about me. it should never just be about you.

He is the hero of the night.
Happy Election Day only to the man who was on cnn who said that he only went to the polls today because his gf threatened to break up with him, and then immediately acknowledged he had made that story up because he thought it would be funny
