Hi @realDonaldTrump . 👋 Navy vet here. I voted by mail from an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Persian Gulf - twice. ✌️ Were my shipmates & I engaging in “massive fraud” then? Were you when you voted in Florida elections from The White House? 🤷‍♂️ Asking for a nation. 🇺🇸

I voted by military absentee ballot more than 10 times in my career. And today, as I watched this GOP lawyer object to every single military ballot, I thought to myself, “Is this what happened to my vote?” Did any of them ever really count? This BS stops right here, right now.

A reminder as Virginia removes its Robert E Lee monument today: In 1859 Virginia executed abolitionist John Brown for the crime of treason b/c he freed slaves. Yes, the first American executed for treason was b/c he freed slaves. Brown deserves the monument—A true American hero.

You come into the Federal House. You order a ginger ale. You read some obscure passage from a chapter they didn’t assign you to read in American Naval Heritage and then pretend…you pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some townies and embarrass Group 3 majors?

And worse, when we use our departure from service to cash in with disinformation entities that dishonor our country by further dividing Americans, we are making ourselves a selfish addition to our nation's problems instead of a humble stitch in the fabric of a solution. (5/10)

What does the Presidential Election of 1876 have to do with #BlackLivesMatter protests - and what does it mean for this moment in American history? Buckle up: it’s a #thread about corruption, Rutherford B. Hayes, and why this country remains unequal. (1/16)

☝️This wasn't written for sympathy, but rather a reminder that veterans are not a monolith, war is hell, and our feelings are often incongruent.

…to be the stick. That’s gonna last until next year - you’re gonna be in here regurgitating tropes about gun power and, you know, the necessity of the battleship on naval supremacy.

One of the things I learned running for Congress - and helping others do the same - is how profoundly little I truly understood about how life actually works for different people from different city blocks, suburbs, and neighborhoods. (6/10)

See the sad thing about you is in 20 years you're gonna be in command at sea and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: You spent six bucks on that ginger ale you coulda' got for free at your sponsor’s house.

Yesterday, @RepJohnKatko & the @NRCC thought it was cool to call veterans like me “cowardly.” Today, they say it doesn’t count because “it was only in the subject line of the email.” Let’s show them that it does. Chip in $5 now so we can beat ‘em: #NY24

We can have policy debates about DoD funding and "supporting the troops." But there is no policy debate about honoring my dead friends and our Gold Star families. There is no political positioning. You are either good, or you are evil. Donald Trump shows us what he truly is.

I’m a ballot observer at a table with a Republican lawyer who is objecting to ALL military absentee ballots to keep them from being counted. Absolutely sickening.

Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because the Battle of Jutland drastically underestimates the impact of maneuverability —

Come for the pedantic takes on naval matters, stay for the paternalistic takes on how you won’t be happy without a husband. 🙄 This is creepy and gross. Sadly, it’s been his shtick for a long time, but people who pretend to be serious still follow him.

I grew up Catholic. People like @realDonaldTrump are why I am hesitant to introduce my family to the faith. He acts pious on Sunday but unholy as hell Friday to Saturday. @JoeBiden ? He restores my faith. That’s not a prerequisite for the presidency, but it means a lot to me.
