E-mails showing that Epstein was advising the Russians on how to manipulate Trump should be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Notice I said, “should be.”

The temptation to say/think that this is the beginning of the end for Trump is enticing. But we’ve been down this path before, and he seems to always get away with it. May the majority of the American people wake up and smell the diaper. This needs to finish him.

During my career, I was privileged to work with military colleagues on a daily basis.I have especially fond memories of all the uniformed folks I served with in Iraq, particularly, the soldiers of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry who kept me in one piece.Happy Veterans Day & thank you for your service

The Brits have stopped sharing drug trafficking intel w/us in the Caribbean, Latin American region. They believe our extra judicial killings are illegal. If you’ve worked on this stuff or w/ the Brits, you know this is really a big deal. DOD folks—your professional liability insurance won’t work.

One of the biggest honors of my Foreign Service career was serving along side our MSG Detachments. Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fi now and always.

Visiting old friends this weekend at my old stomping grounds in Monterrey, Nuevo León.

Trump, Miller and company will do everything in their power (which is considerable) to prevent and avoid a fair mid term election.

In the nothing to see here category, it turns out that donors to the construction of Trumps "big beautiful ballroom" have $279 billion in government contracts. And more than 50% are facing, or have recently faced federal enforcement actions. But all this is just normal, right?

Imagine if Biden said he didn’t know a guy who he pardoned? A guy that helped his family make millions this year alone.Why does Trump always get a pass? Why have Americans totally normalized blatant corruption?

Latino communities around the country are under siege from a cruel, undisciplined, hateful occupation army. Men, women, children, regardless of immigration status or even citizenship are all fair game. Schools, churches, streets, courtrooms, and now even trick or treating. Despicable.

Keeping this in mind, watch or rewatch, contemporary Fail Safe film, “House of Dynamite.” Then substitute the NSC staffers in the movie for the current Trump losers. Substitute the SecDef for Hegseth and POTUS for Trump. Result: Scariest movie ever made.

Praying for all my dear friends and the Jamaican people. Hopefully, the USG has transitioned some of the vast DOD assets in theatre to respond quickly to humanitarian needs. Special prayer for my former colleagues at the Embassy in Kingston. Be safe!

Imagine making a viscous, rabid dictator like Maduro and and a totally failed president like Petro sympathetic. Remarkable performance by Donald J. Trump.

Looks like the die is cast and there will be “kinetic” strikes inside Venezuela itself. Look, Maduro needs to go & I’m a big fan of Maria Corina & the real president, Edmundo Gonzalez. But if they come into power on the backs of a U.S. intervention, they will be doomed to failure.

Trump has destroyed the White House worse than the Brits did during the war of 1812.

Please see my article for @steadystatevets.bsky.social on the Western Hemisphere.

There are no longer three branches of government. Supreme Court is a rubber stamp for Trump, and the legislative branch has ceased to exist. Worst constitutional crisis since the Civil War, and most Americans are sleep walking through all of it.

Yesterday, Trump posted an AI video of him crapping on Americans, today he is bulldozing the East Wing for his, big beautiful, dance hall. It will take generations to recover from all of this.

In the Caribbean, we may have just gone from extrajudicial killings to out and out murder,

Trump just commuted George Santos sentence. If Epstein were alive, he’d be next. The nation’s most corrupt administration in history rolls on.

I’ve denounced the Maduro regime and Chavistas for years. They’ve destroyed Venezuela. Big fan of Maria Corina and the real president, Edmundo Gonzalez. But if they come to power on the backs of a U.S. military intervention, they will be doomed to failure.

The Trump Administration’s entire Latin American foreign policy consists of blowing up ships in international waters, giving $40 billion in cash to Argentina, and now flying B-2 bombers near Venezuelan air space. Oh, don’t forget about taking Petro’s visa when he said something mean (and dumb).

In 2001, the USG’s Air Bridge Denial Program, coordinated by CIA contractors, working w Peruvian Air Force jets, shot down a “drug trafficking”aircraft over Peru. Turns out they killed an American missionary & her baby. Program was disbanded. Sound familiar? Just a matter of time.

82nd Airborne is not enough. At this rate, tactical nuclear weapons may be our only hope.

For pipsqueak Mike Johnson to basically say that protesting this administration is the equivalent of being a terrorist is obscene and terrifying. And for those of us (myself and many friends and colleagues) who personally experienced real terrorism-highly insulting.

The intersection between butt hurt MAGA and leftist, pro Chavistas over the Maria Corina Peace Prize is truly something to behold.

By choosing the incredibly courageous “Iron Lady” of the Venezuelan opposition, the Nobel Committee has managed to piss off both Maduro and Donald Trump. Good stuff.

Ok, the guy who threw the Subway sandwich, the guy who got away on the bike, or this guy?

Not only a repulsive, degenerate human being with destructive policies- he’s also dumb as a rock.

My social circle is basically composed of 3 groups- former diplomats, both U.S. and foreign; journalists, both U.S. and foreign; former Federal Law Enforcement Officers. All 3 groups are overwhelmingly aghast and frightened about what’s going on in our country today. @steadystatevets.bsky.social

I personally witnessed this while I was stationed in places like Nicaragua, Haiti, Peru. My colleagues in @steadystatevets.bsky.social have seen it in many other places. Now it is here, and it’s all hands on deck time. The danger is now.

Mamas don’t let your children grow up to be a Stephen Miller.

A clear violation of DOD Directive 1344.10, specifically barring uniformed personnel from participating in partisan political events. No respect for the law, or for our military. Just shameful.

ICE is helping recreate history.

Anyone else find it amusing that Bad Bunny can run for president, but Melania Trump cannot?

I worked hand in glove w federal law enforcement for 3.5 decades. My brother was a senior FLEO. My best friends today are distinguished former LEOS. It pains me to say it, ICE needs to be dismantled and defunded.

So, Hegseth wants to send the 82nd Airborne into Portland, Oregon, United States of America. Yes, you read that right. Yet, most Americans will sleepwalk through another lazy Saturday.

I’m a born and raised New Yorker who hated Trump when he was just another rich jackass.

So, turns out, Elon Musk has been taking incredible amounts of money from Chinese investors, in other words, from the Chinese Communist Party. While working on our most sensitive military projects. Everyone ok with that?

YOU TUBE TV has dropped Univision from its channels here in South Texas a (checks notes) a high density Spanish speaking area. Univision provided vital information for the Spanish speaking and migrant communities on all the current challenges with ICE, etc. Will be exploring other options, pendejos

Just like the flag officers being lectured today, I took the same oath to defend and protect the constitution. Not to wage war on my fellow citizens. Not loyalty to one man. If you don’t have a big problem with what Hegseth and Trump said today-you’re part of the problem.

And it’s totally racist.

My report from Elmo’s hellsite: MAGA’s ignorance about Bad Bunny, Puerto Rico and the Spanish language is just staggering.

So, this guy or the guy who threw the Subway sandwich?

They’re planning to go after anyone who dares disagree with them. And it’s terrifying.

Scary, scary stuff.

The Comey indictment will backfire. Comey is a meticulous guy, will bring receipts, and is spoiling for a fight. Damn shame he isn’t more likable.

Everyone that I talked to has no idea why Hegseth is summoning 800 general officers to Virginia. Unprecedented, and honestly, sounds pretty sinister. Something very big is afoot.
