    I believe rank and file employees should have the power to support charity as efficiently as their CEO. That's why we built @GiveGroundswell - a platform that democratizes corporate philanthropy and empowers employees to take action. Follow our journey:

    I generally keep my political commentary to a minimum. But Trump's refugee ban is Un-American.

    Those Marines stood at that wall despite knowing that a suicide attack was imminent. Let that sink in. They did it because those men, women, and children needed their security to reach safety. I wish more Americans had that selfless courage. #Afhganistan

    I can’t wrap my head around gun fetishism…and I’m a former sniper.
    Merry Christmas! 🎄 ps. Santa, please bring ammo. 🎁

    I don’t even know what this kid is majoring in, but if pro hoops don’t work out I’d offer him a job. This type of attitude is everything in an org.
    Houston guard Jamal Shead stayed to clean up after his team following a tough loss to Alabama. Leading by example 🙌 (via @AustinRader24)

    This is repugnant. I served in one of the most forward deployed units as a sniper in the @USMC during the two bloodiest years of the war. On multiple occasions my team jeopardized our lives in order to comply with the rules of war/engagement.

    Want to know how broken health insurance is? I have a Platinum PPO from a major carrier - literally the most Gucci plan imaginable. Got a bill from the hospital that performed my daughter's open heart surgery (the bill far exceeded our max out-of-pocket, but that's not the point)

    Google Photos just reminded me that on this day in 2008, I was in a gunfight in an Afghan marijuana forest 👇👇. I’m as bewildered by the current moment as I was about that one then.

    I'm going to be honest, I am not smart enough to tell anyone reading this what the solution is. But the first step is for EVERYONE to acknowledge there's a problem that needs to be FIXED. Greatest nation on earth... charging $647 to resuscitate a newborn child.

    Dumbest thing I’ve read on the internet all week. Do you know how many mandatory vaccines I received in the Marines? Can we talk about the anthrax vaccine? SMH. Go politicize something less consequential than our national security.
    I’ve been contacted by members of our voluntary military who say they will quit if the COVID vaccine is mandated. I introduced HR 3860 to prohibit any mandatory requirement that a member of the Armed Forces receive a vaccination against COVID-19. It now has 24 sponsors.

    One reason I wrote ONCE A WARRIOR is my belief that our nation should be turning to our military veterans to help solve our country's most complex problems and divisions. I hope you agree.

    Honored to have the support of Prince Harry (a Greyshirt and Afghan veteran himself!) and Meghan on this critically important mission. Learn more about what we're doing to resettle Afghan families at teamrubiconusa.org.
    We're grateful to Archewell Foundation and Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their support of our efforts to welcome Afghan families to the US. This generous donation will help the transition of families into new communities. TeamRubiconUSA.org

    Remember when Putin offered the Taliban bounties on US service members’ heads? I sure as hell do. I bet our Javelins do too.
