“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, ..."

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

Fox News must fire Brian Kilmeade – and completely and utterly denounce his genocidal beliefs. Now.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, ..."

As proud as I am for NASA (and CSA + ESA) and, of course, the astronauts – the absolute moral failure of the US government (Republican America) this week – with almost ZERO pushback against Trump who's a terrorist by any and all definitions (a nuclear terrorist at that) rips my brain & heart in two.

Beautiful. Artemis II seconds before splash down.

Artemis II coming in for splash down.

"The man said he 'got rid of their nuclear arsenal', 'obliterated it', he said. Ya know how he likes to use those kinds of words – 'obliterated it', which is not an ambiguous term. That means you took it out. Well, evidently, he didn't do that." Kamala Harris

The fact that there was almost zero push-back from elected Republican officials against Trump as he threatened a country with nuclear annihilation – is perhaps the darkest indictment of any government in human history.

Joy in space. Wishing Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman, and Victor Glover a safe re-entry and splashdown.

Barack Obama's 2015 nuclear deal (formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA) did NOT give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. FACTS.
