Episode drop today‼️
BringRidgeHome and I joined Emmy award-winning actor Maurice Benard on his podcast, State of Mind, to discuss mental health and resilience.

This episode isn’t about politics; it’s about the art of possibility.

Take a Listen 👉 youtu.be/6l8t8jiEKkU?si…

This is exactly the first thing that came to mind the first time I heard about this.

If we tax unrealized gains, does that mean I get to claim unrealized losses?!

Dude has some valid points.

Fact: The US Navy is in charged of the Baltimore Bridge salvage effort

Fact: The US Navy has more Admirals that warships

Fact: there is not one Admiral in uniform today who is a salvage master

Fact: salvage masters were once among the Navy’s most respected officers

Fact:…

This is why TikTok US is dangerous for teens and children.

And it’s not just #TikTok .

YouTube Meta are also culpable.

It’s time something more is done about this.

I don’t want algorithms promoting this type of content to my children.

Mike Pence on Fox News: 'It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year.'

Met with Lt. Ridge Alkonis. We have a responsibility to ensure the safety and care of our servicemembers while they serve abroad. His story is a reminder that we must do better.

Today was a full circle moment. Last year, I hosted Brittany Alkonis for the State of the Union while she was advocating for the safe return of her husband, Navy LT Ridge Alkonis, who was unnecessarily imprisoned by the Japanese Government. This morning, I was able to catch up…

Let me be very clear: this legislation to restrict TikTok does NOT ban the app.

It separates ties to the Chinese Communist Party 🇨🇳 and prevents them from accessing the data of Americans—especially our kids.

Leader Schumer should put this bill on the floor soon.

I just voted to force the sale of TikTok by its China-owned parent company.

As a Member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee and former intelligence officer, I know the national security threats posed by ByteDance’s ownership of TikTok and the risks to American users. (1/6)

The top two senators on Senate Intel are now supporting the TikTok bill. That is a massive coup for lawmakers who want ByteDance to divest its holdings in TikTok

The Administration continues to put out unserious budget proposals it knows have no chance whatsoever of garnering bipartisan support—which means they will never become law. Our fiscal path is unsustainable and both parties need to work together before we reach the crisis point.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has a message for the 'Ceasefire Now' people and its 🔥🔥🔥

“One of the things that I have found somewhat absent from the [media] coverage is that what we are talking about in the first phase is women, elderly, and wounded…

Incredible coverage. No one on TV is doing what Jake Tapper is doing to keep the families of the hostages in the news.

Ever since Oct. 7, Jake has not let a single day go by without the important reminder of these innocent lives being held by Hamas.

This is so dumb.

People will literally have heart attacks today because we keep doing this.

Thank you Congressman Nick LaLota for your continued dedication to not only Ridge, but to all of our service members stationed overseas! SOFA reform is coming and we’re grateful to be working alongside you and your colleagues to make it happen.

He gave my voice a platform & without it I don’t believe Ridge would be home. Thank you Jake Tapper! It was surreal and wonderful to have you both in the same room.

To wrongfully detained families, find your platform, find your champion. To President Biden finish the job #BringThemHome

Amen, Nick LaLota 🗽💪🇺🇸🫡!

We need better SOFAs so that something like this never happens again.

Every American service member sent abroad should be guaranteed access to a lawyer and translator if accused of a crime. Period.

I am proud that Navy LT and Mrs. Ridge Alkonis will be my guests for the State of the Union.

Ridge was unjustly imprisoned by the Japanese government for 507 days after they denied him access to an attorney and a translator and coerced a confession. I started working with his…
