Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Kristi Noem couldn’t get to Twitter fast enough to use the Dallas ICE shooting for political points. But local news now says it was detainees who were shot — not ICE agents. She played politics, and three human beings are dead. We need an investigation into how this happened now!

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

California, don’t worry about tsunamis. If I was going to sweep anyone into the ocean, it would be Florida. I’ve been meaning to return Mar-a-Lago to the sea for a while.

I cleaned house at Lord of the Rings book trivia at the ren faire during freaking Hobbit weekend but apparently I know nothing about Tolkien and am a fake fan because I like Rings of Power.

I’ll never understand people cheering on shows being cancelled. Especially ones they didn’t even watch.

A guy was pulled over in Georgia. He shot two cops, killing one with an illegal fully auto pistol (likely a modified Glock). After killing him, cops found bombs and a remote trigger in the vehicle. Despite the numerous federal weapons violations, Pam Bondi has said nothing. Bad guy was white.
