Herndon Pride supporting Sabrina, Meron, and Yasmin for Herndon Town Council and talking about queer leadership!

Amen. I'll be speaking on this issue Monday night at the DNC's LGBTQ+ Gala in NYC.

I didn't have the teenage girl mall experience, so initially it was nice that my daughter asked me. Then, it came back to reality. "None of my friends are around, so you'll do." I got her back with the best weapon in my arsenal - How's that honeydew? Better than the honeydon't? She's still mad.

My latest on efficiency, universal care, and who you should actually talk to. open.substack.com/pub/breefram...

I'm joining the Power Lunch Podcast with Nancy Lacore, who just won her primary in SC-01. Congrats, Nancy! We both wore the uniform and left it sooner than we planned. Neither of us is standing down. Service just changes shape. Join us live. June 26, at noon. Register: tinyurl.com/yc3knds5

It’s live. New speaker reel and website. My talks are about belonging, resilience, service, and the choices that define us when things get hard. They are honest, hopeful, occasionally funny, and designed to leave people ready to act. Planning an event? Let’s work together at breefram.com

@thesteadystate.org with a blisteringly strong article today about the dangerous paradox at the heart of authoritarian rule. “Trust is among the most valuable forms of capital a nation possesses. It cannot be manufactured by decree. It cannot be compelled through fear.” substack.com/home/post/p-...

My favorite sign from this morning's protest in Woodstock.

See you in Fredericksburg on the 27th! I'll be delivering the opening remarks for the festival at 11.

No lies detected. 😂

It's Not Rocket Science: Losing a War Is Bad.

Three stops, Saturday June 27, all Pride. 11am, opening Fredericksburg Pride Festival 2:30-4:30, signing books at Herndon Pride 6pm, storytelling at Clare and Don's, Falls Church. $15, doors 5:30 🎟️ bettersaidthandone.org/event/storie... Love and hope. That's the assignment. See you out there.

Six years ago (Trump 1), the Air Force shared this Pride video on its official channels. The second Trump administration erased it. A video can be deleted. The service cannot. I still believe everyone who meets the standards can serve with pride. We tossed our hats to one another once. We can again.

Such a cogent interview. "I think, for the people in Iran, this war has been the worst of both worlds, in that it has seemingly further entrenched a very brutal regime... (and) now Iran has been made to look like more of a victim, and in some places, even a hero" www.npr.org/2026/06/15/n...

Trump twists patriotism into spectacle — power and corruption wrapped in red, white, and blue. I'm taking this flag to an equality rally. It doesn't belong to a UFC-style strongman fantasy. It belongs in a garden. It belongs to those who believe in what it represents. It belongs to all of us.

The Warren County Dems show up! I was honored to speak about Pride, rural Dems, and why this area matters so much. Then I got to introduce someone who proves it: @bethmacy.bsky.social. Beth knows these communities and she'll actually fight for them, instead of hiding from them. Flip the 6th!

Enough was never a finish line. Enough is a direction.

"What is most interesting about Col. Bree Fram’s 11th District Congressional campaign isn’t why it ended, but why it began." If only I was making front page news during the campaign! www.dnronline.com/news/politic...

Chef's kiss!

I was long overdue for a hair appointment. My stylist noticed I'd lost a lot of hair and suggested, "Maybe try less stress in your life." As I laughed, I told her the odds weren't good. So... what's everyone else's completely unrealistic self-care goal for this year?

Lovely day at Culpeper Pride! I was impressed by the scale of the event, and it was great to see so many friends!

One year out from my last day in uniform, I’ve had a lot of endings that close chapters, not the story. It doesn’t mean those endings don’t still hurt, they do. I choose the smile anyway. Here’s why.

"Pulte, (Trump) said, will remain director of the FHFA and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" Because being the Director of National Intelligence is clearly a part-time job for people with no experience. 🤦‍♀️

Would you? Could you? Here's my answer to the questions I got following the appellate court ruling on the trans ban.

BREAKING: Huge news in the D.C. circuit court, which ruled that Trump's trans military ban certainly appears to be based on animus and not legitimate reasons. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Tomorrow, Pride Month begins. Queer folks face real challenges right now—which is exactly why it matters to remember: LGBTQIA+ people lead in extraordinary ways and build brighter futures for all of us. It's why we wrote Forging Queer Leaders. Maybe somebody who needs this can read it. 🏳️‍🌈

Between the hiking, altitude, disc golf, and moments of trying to heed my wife’s admonition of “don’t fall off a mountain,” my downtime in Colorado was perfect for revisiting some of the books I recommend most often and thinking about the future

When your wife says "go chill out for a few days," you don’t argue with the chain of command. You take it literally. Apparently my chill style is rugged outdoorswoman by day, toddler demanding ice cream by night.

A great article on how the work we too often don't think of as work shapes the discussions in boardrooms, courtrooms, and legislative chambers. A must read for anyone thinking about long-term strategy for achieving a future that works for everyone. www.raben.co/insights/cul...

Community Highlight: NoVa Food Rescue Food insecurity exists everywhere. NoVaFR is tackling it with a network of donors, volunteers, and partners. They’ve distributed more than 30 million meals into the community! Watch their story and consider getting involved. Who should we highlight next?

The entire Trump government is a racket to transfer money from taxpayers to Trump and his family, the already extraordinarily wealthy, and his most vociferous and outrageous supporters. newrepublic.com/article/2105...

What a journey.

“This campaign gave me hope at a moment when it can feel increasingly hard to come by and I’m confident we gave that same feeling to others.”

"Any new military combat operations against Iran would be conducted under a new name and operation, a White House official familiar with the discussions said, and from the administration’s point of view this would effectively restart the clock with Congress." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Reacting to this morning's news that Trump's Iran War has pushed inflation to the highest rate in three years.

My political thesis statement.

Sign #3,241 that your phone listens: my playlist of songs "we think you'll enjoy" was filled with country music. Country is the one genre that has never grown on me, yet it fills my campaign manager's playlist and we've spent several thousand miles together in her car over the past few months.

A huge thank you for the hospitality and the courage of the amazing folks in Woodstock. They've been out 62 weeks in a row reminding us what it looks like when we exercise our first amendment rights.

While I’ll make a decision on my own future path soon, you can count on me to always put country first and to remain part of the fight for an America that is better tomorrow than it is today. -Bree Fram

Country first.

“We can’t have third-rate fitness influencers like Pete Hegseth in charge of our military.”

Donald Trump can take away our uniforms, but he can't take away our fight. That’s why I’m running for Congress. Because every American is the right kind of American, and every voice deserves to be heard.

I’m live on Reddit answering your questions about VA-11, healthcare, affordability, campaign finance reform, and what it really means to run a grassroots campaign in 2026. Ask me anything. Seriously. 👇

We need a cure, not a band-aid, when it comes to caring for Americans. Healthcare costs shouldn't bankrupt you. We must pursue universal healthcare.

I’ll be on Instagram Live tonight at 6 Eastern with Adam Dunigan, Marine Veteran and former CIA officer, to talk about how we move our country forward and why we need candidates with bold ideas. Join us there! @adamdunigan.bsky.social
