Greece is a critical ally of the U.S. Greece deserves better than to have a corrupt and incompetent U.S. Ambassador. Glad Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned. She never should have been appointed or confirmed. Perhaps she will join disgraced Kristi Noem at the Shield of the Americas.
BREAKING: KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE HAS RESIGNED.

We should be working on bills to lower the high costs of living and to address the risks of AI. Many AI bills have been introduced. My AI Kill Switch Act, for example, is a common sense, bipartisan bill. Instead Speaker Johnson cancelled two weeks of session. Ridiculous.
There is too much at stake. Congress must stay in session to pass meaningful AI legislation.

Inflation keeps increasing under GOP policies. Inflation was higher than expected in August. Many Americans are suffering and having trouble making ends meet. What are trump and Republicans focused on? Renaming bodies of water. November is coming.
This week's higher-than-expected inflation report almost certainly means the Fed will increase interest rates next week, but a rate hike or two probably won’t be enough to do the job

We need a new defense strategy. Iran war showed the US cannot sustain a war, defend our bases or defend our allies. These flaws came from years of doing the wrong things, from the first trump administration to Biden to now. Acquisitions, tactics/strategy and force postures need to be changed.
“Adm. Daryl Caudle, the chief of Naval Operations, provided Hegseth with the dimmest picture, saying in the SDOB that the Navy cannot sustain its current level of support for the Iran conflict because there is no anticipated end date, those familiar with the assessment said.”
