Call me an internationalist, but I believe in institutions, alliances, stability. Sometimes you have to sit in a room for a week with 400 of your closest international colleagues to appreciate it. #Tidesprint. #NATO

By overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court has not only taken a wrecking ball to reproductive rights - it has taken a wrecking ball to military readiness. America will be less secure as a result. [🧵]

Day 102 of my 3 day war. My army has strategically shifted to rearward advance at city of Sievierodonetsk. I remain a master strategist.

"Judge Jackson, the title of the song is 'We Don't Talk About Bruno.' Every singer, at one point in the song, says they don't talk about Bruno. Yet, they *are* talking about Bruno. How do you account for this?"

The sad thing is that if we hadn’t expanded NATO, Putin would have tirelessly devoted himself to world peace and the brotherhood of man.

Years and years spent flying missions in #Afghanistan. And we were just a small part of an enormous team. So much energy, sweat, tears, wounds, lost friends. To end up like this. I'm completely heart sick today.

The @WhiteHouse "failed to lay out a pathway for our allies to be evacuated to safety, and now, that failure will almost certainly cost the lives of some of those the U.S. promised to protect. But it's not too late," says @humanrights1st's @jenquigley welcomewithdignity.org/2021/…
