Just published - "First They Kill You." My story of two cancers and stem-cell replacement. It's got self-doubt and bad dreams, medical marvels, helpful hallucinations and the love of family and friends. I judge it a damn good read but that's just me talking. www.amazon.com/First-They-K...
Just a reminder - not a remainder.
I'd love to ask Woody to compare and contrast the Epstein scene with Hugh Hefner's Playboy Clubs. I think one of Epstein's idols growing up had to be Hefner and his empire, while Hef would have greatly admired Epstein's insider influence and reach.

What is inside Pam Bondi that she saw the horrific images of old perverts abusing children and felt she had to protect the perverts? We are not the same.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

This is unbelievable. His gun was never in his hand.
To claim that "video" supports this claim is simply a lie, and millions of people know that.
The editors at the Post (if there are such people) are a disgrace to journalism.

They also said Pretti waved his gun in last nights headline. The @NYPost has long been a laughable lying scandal rag tabloid, but it’s mind-boggling how it’s become a total mouthpiece for Trump and his goon squad.

He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him.

Not a “paid protester.”
Not an Antifa battalion commander.
Not “bussed in from out of state.”
A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Small thing watching the Bills presser.
I'd address Terry Pegula as Terry. Not Mr. Pegula.
Ever see LeBron or Josh Allen addressed as Mr. James or Mr. Allen? Exactly.
Be an equal. The whole Mr. Mara, Mr. Kraft that NFL TV people do. Nonsense.
Being a billionaire does not equate an honorific.

Trump’s party is like the depraved gathering in Kubrick’s film Eyes Wide Shut.
Still wild that this is real — as Trump loots the country and health care bills skyrocket with masked goons terrorizing black and brown people… they rich dance in dog masks at Mar-A-Lago Eyes Wide Shut-style
