Book: Oath and Honor

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. Liz Cheney, one of the few Republican officials to take a stand against these efforts, witnessed the attack first-hand, and then helped lead the Congressional Select Committee investigation into how it happened. In Oath and Honor, she tells the story of this perilous moment in our history, those who helped Trump spread the stolen election lie, those whose actions preserved our constitutional framework, and the risks we still face.

So informative. I learned so much more about everything that led up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. I'm so impressed by the incredible amount of hard work and attention to detail of the January 6th committee in their pursuit of the truth. It's a true story of patriotism and the pursuit of truth by dedicated leaders who put love of country before their own self interests.

Excerpts:

Continues to show Trump's lack of character. He's a liar, a bully, and a cheat.

Hands Off

There were many protest marches across the country over the weekend. Named "Hands Off" rallies.

Here is one of the signs from one of the rallies.

Don't Forget to Sign on the Dotted Line

President Trump spent almost an hour on Wednesday talking to an invited audience in the Rose Garden of the White House about his plans to impose levies on dozens of U.S. trading partners. He used his “Liberation Day” address to outline how he would bring manufacturing back to the country by signing his controversial executive order. Then he had to be “guided back” on stage following his tariff-touting speech after “forgetting” to sign his executive order.

One person who spotted the clip on X wrote:
          “Trump having his first Biden moment was not on my bingo card for 2025.”
Another joked:
          “Trump: “Mission accomplished!” Staff: “Sir, you forgot the mission.”
A further asked:
          “Does he know where’s he’s going?”
While another went on:
          “Buddy is in another galaxy.”
