This is an awful halftime show. Great hit songs, wasted on this odd production. Dude... you’re great but you’re not Michael Jackson. Gotta do more than stand and sing. This is a stadium.

JUST IN: US Navy's top admiral @USNavyCNO issues a new message to fleet, after noose found on ship. "We cannot tolerate extremist behavior of any kind, and must engage in open and honest conversations with each other and take action. Leaders at all levels must lead by example."
"We also have a responsibility to educate, and inspire those in the Navy, those coming into the Fleet, and those leaving our service that extremist behavior is unacceptable. Hate and extremist ideology are wedges that divide us." - @USNavyCNO
"Some Sailors may think their voices do not matter right now, or feel frustrated seeking to be seen and be heard. But let me be clear, each of your voices matter. This stand-down is another in our efforts to listen, to learn, and to improve."
So excited to receive my hand-delivered copy of @gaylelemmon’s Daughters of Kobani. Stay tuned! Catch Gayle and I in a special episode of #DefenseOneRadio next week talking about her original on-the-ground reporting in @DefenseOne that helped seed this book. #syria#sdf#ypj

JUST IN: "The men and women of the FBI will leave no stone unturned in this investigation." - Steven D'Antuono, FBI Wash Field Office, opening a press conference. Scouring 1000s of vids and images for leads, asks public to keep sending them into FBI tip lines.
FBI warns Capitol riot participants if you don't come forward, "Agents from our local field offices will be knocking on your door."

Hi. I just sentenced a child molester to prison today.
So, since last Tuesday I've been on jury duty, as you may recall. I experienced the Capitol mob riot story a little differently, in fits and starts as I checked my phone between judge's recesses in courthouse. /1
Last week, we heard graphic testimony by a 17-year old girl alleging how her mom's boyfriend (her de facto father from age 2) raped and touched her from age 10 to 13. Our 12-person jury convicted him of two counts of aggravated sexual battery, and sentenced him today.
We were just the 4th jury trial in Fairfax Co., Va., since COVID. They're adjusting courtroom procedures for safety, which is why this trial went on longer than usual. My utmost respect to the officers of the court who hear this kind of thing regularly, and are trying to work.
