This is the special advisor for the MOD
He has cut all contact with Pen in Kabul.
Pen is in Danger. The Staff are in Danger. The animals are in Danger.
@BorisJohnson @DominicRaab @BWallaceMP
This is unacceptable.
We are watching you!

If any military members/retirees were in the lynch mob that attacked the Capitol, we need to throw the book at them as the terrorists they are. Take rank, take pay, throw them in the brig. @RepSaraJacobs and I think DoD should prosecute those who sully their oaths.

The elected officials who amplified & repeated known lies about our elections served as drum corps to insurrectionists.
The drum major in the House was @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy.
Rep. McCarthy bears unique, elevated responsibility in all this chaos. He must resign.

I took this picture this morning after I finished reading the Cohen information & plea agreement because I wanted to make sure I could always remember the moment when it became clear Mueller was preparing to lay down a royal flush.

I yearn for an America that is filled with Republicans like John McCain and Democrats like Joe Biden. The world would be a much better place.
We could love instead of hate,
Compromise instead of victimize,
and Make America GREAT for all people at once.
IT IS POSSIBLE!

The fact that Kavanaugh believes that a President should not be subject to civil litigation or criminal investigation while in office means that Trump just nominated a justice who has already reached conclusions on these serious questions. That should raise enormous red flags.

The nine women I met with asked me, with tears in their eyes, what the reunification plan is – and I couldn't give them an answer. As far as I could tell there is no plan. I was in there for over two hours and this is what I saw and heard:

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.
