As a congressman, nominating young people for military academies is the best part of the job. But I got to go flying with one who is all grown up now! Amazing full circle.

It's great to see that there are still some decent ex-GOP reps around. Another RINO that was probably before your time was Dan Evans who I consider to be a friend as well as our once Republican senator. He decided not to run for a second term because the GOP wasn't serious about helping America.

Mr Adam Kinzinger we the UK and Scotland and Ireland and other countries have so much respect for you Democrats we really care about you the American people do not let trump s comedy cabinet pass the house

We the UK and Scotland and Ireland and other countries really care about the American people sir we don't want the American people to loose their social security and their medicare we love you Democrats

Kinzinger may sound like a reasonable guy usually, but if Trump wasn’t a thing he would still be a right wing republican voting with other right wing republicans to stop progress in America 99% of the time. Attacks on other left wing accounts should come as a surprise.

I don’t have a problem with him usually. I appreciate he’s been very firm on promoting democracy and I find he’s usually very well spoken. Unfortunately he’s also very much a traditional republican and I don’t think he’s moderated his views much. He’s really not that different to Liz Cheney.

I can appreciate that sentiment. But it is kind of strange that applicants for military academies need recommendations from Congress to get in. Seems in most cases they won’t know the applicant very well.

I'm a flaming liberal, but I'm Pro-Our-Military and Pro-Defense. In this modern age with the threats to democracy foreign and domestic, we must remain vigilant and be tough. We might have to stand up to the Trumpers AND China soon. I applaud that lady.

It pains to see - once a glorious, GOP go from a major & respected party, reduced to a lap poodle controlled by a man who never believed in GOP's core values. Education & family values Believe in yourself Be honest & respectful to those whom you disagree with Make money the old fashion way - EARN IT

That’s always the best! Let’s hope she can maintain her flight and combat status!! She worked incredibly hard to get where she’s at, I hate for a fucked up CIC and secretary of defense to take it away from her…

I agree she got there by earning her spot. Trump doesn’t want her there and neither will his secretary of defense. They want to strip women of all combat positions. Segregate them or just dismiss them.

My nephew was appointed to the AF academy. He’s now a Major. He’s flown tons of missions around the world. Nominating youngsters to our academies is one of the best things any member of Congress does.

My son almost went to Airforce Academy. He was nominated by Amy Klobuchar and Keith Ellingson…..Al Franken didn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️. Didn’t get in but is in medical school instead. Worked out fine 😀

awesome! it must be a scary time for a woman in the service. i think Hegseth is out but if not he plans to force women out. smh. thank you to all who serve. best of luck and may you not be asked to do anything unconstitutional!

Hey, thanks Adam! I’ve been trying to float. The idea that the Democratic Party should rename itself as the pro democracy party, and draw a thick line in the sand make it easy for pro democracy Americans from all parties to pick a side. What do you think? Please let me know.
