It’s always struck me as odd that Stauffenberg & others who tried to kill Hitler are considered honorable men. They opposed Hitler only when he was losing war. While winning, they were all for him. Feel the same about those Republicans only now conceding Biden won.

My sister was just diagnosed with Covid. She's a HS teacher here in GA. In room classes. No masks required. She's been wearing hers, but she's only one of a few. She's in the night sweats, loss of taste and smell and horrific headache stage.
WEAR A DAMN MASK

I am tired. I’ve spent the last 8 months caring for #COVID patients. I’ve missed my family and friends. I’ve missed birthdays and my own wedding anniversary. I’ve coded nurses and doctors who worked in the same hospital as I when they contracted #coronavirus. I kept going.

The work we began with the Paris Agreement is far from done. I'm returning to government to get America back on track to address the biggest challenge of this generation and those that will follow. The climate crisis demands nothing less than all hands on deck.

For four years, I spoke out vigorously against Donald Trump’s craven dishonesty, corrupt pursuit of personal interests, & trampling of our democratic principles. After serving over three decades in national security, I felt compelled to condemn Trump’s depravity & incompetence.
