    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...)

    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

    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.

    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.

    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."
