But I'm back now BABY!

I'm sure I didn't miss anything important over the past couple of weeks. Right?

US lost a surprising 92,000 jobs last month and unemployment rate ticks higher to 4.4% American employers unexpectedly cut 92,000 jobs last month, a sign that the labor market remains under strain. The unemployment rate blipped up to 4.4%.

I think we all knew this was coming…

Trump's speaking today sounds very "wet". Some have opined this is a sign of dementia/prior stroke. If true, watch for what he consumes.

Patients at risk for aspiration pneumonia due to dementia or stroke related dysphagia must consume solid foods or thickened liquids. Water is a no no.

I was able to attend and it was time well spent. Marc and Claudia did a wonderful job keeping us up to date and answering questions thoroughly. I highly recommend attending in the future. Cheers!

Kristi Noem out as Homeland Security secretary, Trump says Her ouster comes after two contentious days of her testimony before Congress. Trump says Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin will take her place.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...or maybe do. I don't really care.

I just got off a horrifying phone call.

Per my former colleagues in CENTCOM, the rumors are true. Iran simply has more missiles than we have to intercept them. Iran has been stockpiling for decades and increased drone capacity after last year’s bombing.

Our bases may end up sitting ducks.

#Talarico has a big question ahead of him he hasn’t nailed down yet.

β€˜Yes’ or β€˜no’ on impeachment?

If a β€˜no’, he risks lowering turnout in a race he’ll need every democrat to win. If a β€˜yes’, he’ll be painted as extreme by the right.

My recommendation, say β€˜no’ but with a wink to the base.

Between The Pitt and Scrubs, which one most accurately represents a life in medicine? I still gotta go with Scrubs.

Oil prices are up. Everything else will be more expensive too. Markets are tumbling. Children and service members are dying.

Still, these fools have no clear end goal and no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Pete Hegseth tells our service members, β€œYou are not defenders anymore, you are warriors.”

The opposite of defender is not warrior. It’s aggressor.

It’s also worth noting, the oath we take as service members is to defend the Constitution of the United States.

Opinion | The rise of a mad emperor Trump has exhibited a total lack of coherence on why he began a new war β€” or how it will end.

β€œThe Trump administration does not know what it’s doing, and it does not have a plan. Instead, it appears that Trump’s mind is shuffling through various fantasies, unimpeded by any knowledge of Iran, which hold his attention for minutes or hours at a time.”

A man calls the police and says, β€œMy neighbor scares me so I’m gonna go light his house on fire.”

The police say, β€œOh, I guess we better come help you burn it down then or things might really get out of hand.”

That’s how dumb Marco Rubio sounds.

I only need a few more followers to hit 10K. Anyone want to jump in the pool? The water’s fine.

Maybe I’ll even send a free copy my book to my ten thousandth follower. 😊

We shot down 3 of our own F-15’s. At $95 million each, that’s $185 million down the drain.

$185 million could give homes to 7,400 unhoused people.

It could feed 205,000 school kids for a year.

Or, it could give 125,000 patients insulin for a year.

But, ya know, we can’t afford those things.

You know what I don’t understand? I make my voice heard to my little 9K following. I don’t expect much in return but I have to try.

Yet, you have all of these celebrities, with their millions of followers, and they stay silent.

If you’re not speaking up now, then when?

It’s been a while since I worked in defense, but I would say the likelihood that there are Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. with orders to activate if they lose contact with their command structure is pretty high.

Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social for all you and your team do!

Incidentally, my wife is a Colombian attorney and soon to be Georgetown Law graduate who recently applied to a position at your firm. We’re both excited for her to get the opportunity to contribute however possible.

3 US service members killed, 5 injured in Iran attacks, CENTCOM says Three U.S. service members were killed in action and five seriously wounded in Operation Epic Fury against Iran, U.S. Central Command said Sunday.

Trump kicked the hornet’s nest. They won’t be able to control the fallout. This is the beginning of the end of the trump presidency.

The current Presidential line of succession is 1) J.D. Vance 2) Mike Johnson 3) Chuck Grassley 4) Marco Rubio

I wonder where the buck will stop.
