Most of us are thrilled to see 2020 go. This year I was nervous about whether I could convince editors at outlets to publish The Outlaw Ocean Project's reporting. The good news: Many did - including The Economist, BBC, Der Spiegel, The New Yorker, NBC News, & The Washington Post.

Perhaps it is just my wishful thinking, but the emphasis on working with allies & partners and upholding the rules-based international order in the „New Tri-Service Maritime Strategy“ marines.mil/News/News-Displa… is hard to ignore. There‘s hope! #WIRSINDMARINE

Excited about today’s @USNavy, @USCG and @USMC Tri-Service Maritime Strategy. We must employ our forces to be ready in competition, crisis and conflict, and also develop a modernized force that deters adversaries and advances and defends U.S. interests. go.usa.gov/xAYgn

I see a lot of demand signals for @USCG in this strategy. It would be nice if the strategy pointed this out and pushed harder for “A Bigger US Coast Guard.”

After offering the Maritime little more than an order for “god da**ed steam” and constant leadership churn, Trump’s sober Tri-Service Strategy is a surprise—and an unexpected opportunity for the incoming Biden team. forbes.com/sites/craighooper… via @forbes

We awarded 2 Distinguished Flying Crosses to heroic pilots for their efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Nothing I say can do their actions justice. All I ask is that you read their citations. Thank you for your devotion to duty, LCDR Carrillo & LCDR Crowley.

Fellow veterans take note: the President of the United States has formally confessed to illegally misdirecting charitable funds from an event he claimed was a benefit for veterans. How many more affronts to flag and uniform will we tolerate? nytimes.com/2019/11/07/nyreg… – at North Hampton, NH

Trump Ordered to Pay $2 Million to Charities for Misuse of Foundation (Published 2019)

The shooter who murdered my sweet little Daniel brought 10 30-round magazines with him into Sandy Hook Elementary. In 4 minutes, he shot 154 bullets, killing 20 children and 6 educators. Sign our petition demanding Congress limit the size of gun magazines now. -Mark

PSA as job market season intensifies: women apply for way less jobs than men, and often think they have to meet 100% of the listed qualifications to apply (not true). So, to all the women candidates: apply! Even if you think it's a reach...apply! #AcademicTwitter @womenalsoknow
