Two patriots in
@DataRepublican and
@UnderSecPD who are critical to the fight and come to it from different paths and backgrounds.
Both are essential, as is some grace and understanding that DC is a powder keg and over time enough chicanery and weaponization can color friendly situations as questionable. There's no shortage of infighting, factionalization, and weird underhanded tactics that can lead someone to view something intended as helpful in a different light.
It's also very real to worry about adverse consequences in today's heightened knife fight, particularly with what could be on the horizon. Antennaes up is a good strategy. A lot of patriots came to DC to help drain the swamp from different walks of life and are bumping around in a fast paced environment with different agency cultures, rules, etc. That's a good thing, even if there is an occasional bumps that will make us all stronger as movement as we grow.
DR is awesome.
Upward we all go.
