Tillis is a coward. He proved that a few weeks ago. You should do something with the power that you have while you have it rather than just send out social media posts. But you won’t.
I thank @SecArmy Dan Driscoll for his leadership to our Army and service to our country. Dan was the right man at the right moment to lead our Soldiers and Army civilians. Our understanding and assumptions of warfare are being challenged in places like Ukraine and Iran, and Dan understands the old way of doing business no longer applies. He and General George began a transformative period of innovation in how we array our forces and equip our Soldiers. He challenged our legacy approach to manning and procurement. Most of all, he cared deeply about the men and women in our Army formations and quickly earned their respect. If we had a @SecWar who maintained the same priorities and forward-thinking, he would be fighting to retain talented leaders like Dan and the many flag officers he has forced into retirement. Instead, he is creating a leadership void at the top of our military ranks. I served on Senate Armed Services for 8 years and as chair or ranking member of the Personnel and Readiness subcommittee. I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country. He is intimidated by competence and retreats to ginning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense and the health and well-being of our fighting force. I urge the President to find a new leader at the Pentagon who will retain and empower our military talent rather than diminish it. cbsnews.com/news/military-le…

Trump’s whole career has followed a pattern: create chaos, shift the cost, expect someone else to clean it up. My new video argues that the same pattern is now playing out at the level of war, oil, and global alliances. The cleanup crew may be gone. open.substack.com/pub/letter…

Serious Q: how does anyone create anything anymore without ppl immediately assuming that it’s AI generated? I posted a short story that I recently wrote & was trying to get feedback on and mods where I posted it are just insisting that it was AI generated and I have no idea why.

Any chance that you could take people who you have secretly disappeared and 1) put them on a boat with a bunch of the Epstein tapes and evidence and 2) set that boat on a trajectory near Venezuela and 3) then blown it out of the water? Asking for a friend.

We’re not meant to be heroic in isolation. The latest essay in my series: Regenerating Belonging, is about what happens when we stop pretending to do it all alone—and start practicing visible care. open.substack.com/pub/letter…

George Washington helped put down the Whiskey Rebellion — an actual armed uprising over a federal tax. 2 men from that rebellion were convicted of treason & sentenced to hang, and Washington pardoned both of them. He didn’t hang anyone, even in the aftermath of a real rebellion.

No party, however righteous it believes itself to be, should become the substitute for the Constitution. And no leader, however charismatic, should be allowed to imagine himself greater than the system designed to constrain him.

If we are to survive as a republic, we must revive the lost art of civic friendship.

What if feeding the hungry is not charity, but obligation? Not generosity, but remembering who we are? A reflection on spiritual duty, neighborly care, and what we’re being asked to do now. open.substack.com/pub/letter…

Frederick Douglass once wrote: “Between the Christianity of this land and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference.” ⬆️ part of my working script for this Thursday’s YouTube video YouTube.com/WalkaboutswithDa…

Hmm, any chance Bill Burr has already booked a show at the yet-to-be-built Qatari airbase in Idaho?
