    Thank you for the reminder to thank (for heroically sustaining virtual marching band all summer and fall) and the whole MBHS team. The amount of effort & care from teachers really comes through the screen (&the wall into the next room, where I sit...)

    I truly don't think enough can be said about the work teachers have done over the past several months. Some teaching online *and* in person. Making lesson plans for both. Some caring for their own children and relatives while they teach. They deserve both praise and better pay.

    So encouraged to see Sec. 3146 of , calling for reports on among contractors, because "hire[ing], train[ing], and retain[ing] a diverse and highly educated workforce is a national security priority of the United States." .

    I wrote about the risks of selling F-35s to the UAE, including Israel's QME but also a regional arms race, sensitive defense technology, & end use issues (read: UAE has transferred US-manufactured weapons to AQ-linked fighters in Yemen) in

    As a former officer and proud mustang, I condemn calls for martial law from (and ) and the incoherent and dangerous conspiracy ramblings of Gen McInerney is a virus. We must inoculate with facts and transparency. There is no digital prophet

    Courtesy of misinfo king QAnon, (Russian intel or basement dweller) we are to believe CIA and US special ops got into a fire fight with each other in Germany as military seized a server farm manipulating votes. I can’t even anymore....

    This is a hugely important story, w/evidence linked: "For years, UN investigators secretly compiled evidence that implicated Rwandan President Paul Kagame & other high-level officials in mass killings before, during & after the 1994 Rwandan genocide":

    This Episcopalian just got to tell this joke to her observant Jewish spouse, who did not know it. What a holiday gift!

    Replying to @rabbijilljacobs @kampeas
    you know that joke about the Rebbe of the Atheists, right?

    What a contrast to Pompeo: 25 years ago, a Secretary of State who trusted the professionals, couldn’t have cared less about his following, and was secure enough to let Richard Holbrooke bestride Europe brokered an end to the Bosnian war.

    Happy 25th Dayton! Time for and Herzegovina to become a normal adult:

    I am heartbroken for the risk this poses to career State employees and catering staff. Also, how can we ask anyone to give up holiday social engagements with leaders doing this? This is not the America we want to share with the world.

    Scoop: Pompeo and his wife are hosting multiple holiday parties (one on the 8th floor of the State Dept with more than 900 invitees & food & drinks). At the same time, Pompeo’s subordinates are warned against meetings for “non-mission critical events.”

    Lots of data from other sectors about how companies with 30% women on their boards do better at anticipating and managing risk, so this finding is just what you'd expect. I'll do a thread with sources when I'm not running to a meeting, or y'all can do it for me.

    Via , companies with at least 30% women on their boards tend to perform better on disclosures, innovation & performance, per new study. Correlation isn't causation, but quite interesting.

    Hey, unlike too much of our current political discourse, read this thread and I promise you will learn something new.

    Every time Georgia news conferences get around, people fawn over the official ASL interpreter for the state. A lot of it is your typical “ooh sign language looks so cool, he’s so animated” nonsense but let me tell you what is cool about David Cowan: he is a deaf interpreter.

    The plot thickens considerably,

    As notes, this gentleman personally reworked the Hungarian constitution to read: "Hungary shall protect the institution of marriage as the union of a man & a woman..."

    Pompeo savaged Turkey during a classified NATO meeting this afternoon, saying Ankara opposes the principles of the alliance and undermines its cohesion. The Greeks (unsurprisingly) leaked the details to an Athens newspaper

    It's pretty hard to improve on a story as told by Secretary-designate , but Steven Holmes does here. I'd never seen the Sonia Weitz poem: "A black GI stood by the door (I never saw a black before) He'll set me free before I die, I thought, he must be the Messiah."

    This is not what national greatness looks like.

    The whole thing, completely collapsed. A major scientific installation in Puerto Rico.
