@fetterman.senate.gov, stop sending vague form letters that answer NONE of the concerns I’ve called & emailed you about—most of which reference your betrayal of your voters by running as a Democrat but then consistently voting as a Republican, cozying up to Trump every chance you get! Enough!

This could stop or delay production of flu vaccines this year.

Father,
We lift up #immigrants and #refugees to You, those who seek safety, opportunity, and a better life. Be their shelter in times of uncertainty, their guide in unfamiliar places, and their strength in hardship. Surround them with kindness and the support they need.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

@fetterman.senate.gov — You’ve cooperated with the felon more than enough! Stand up and stop these illegal funding pauses by the President. People will continue to suffer—and you are complicit. I’m so disappointed that I ever voted for you.
And fix your phone so that we don’t get “mailbox full.”

I’m convinced the main requirement of literary fiction is that the characters are under no circumstances allowed to be happy.

Living only on sourdough bread for the last 3 days.

I have very mixed feelings about #GivingTuesday, but here’s one thing I loved—Hope International sends out a list of 5 other charities to support rather than asking for more for themselves. A class act.

This cover led Rockwell to stop painting for Saturday Evening Post - they got complaints about seeing dark-skinned people, and Rockwell refused to pacify racists.
If you don't want others to be blessed as you are, you're at odds with Jesus.

What was the last historical site you visited—and how long ago?
I’m in a Facebook group for Colonial Williamsburg fans, and there are complaints about additional costs and the reduction of services. Some say it’s due to smaller crowds.
Are smaller crowds an issue for all historic sites now?
