Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Cold but beautiful sunny day for Saturday morning shopping In York. The bells from the Minster – – ringing nonstop – – really put a smile on my face.

I can find no words just officially express my outrage and deep sadness at this. The White House is not a private residence. It is sacred ground—a piece of history. One that belongs to all of us.

SO I think you can all guess what I am doing today. I am attacking my current draft with vigor. Whether I or the draft will be victorious on this particular day has yet to be determined ;)

Almost 3 weeks in York— and every day, whether I’m walking around the shops or heading to Pilates or sitting on my desk— I’m surrounded my history.

As my countdown to #York continues, today I am celebrating my favorite city “bar”. Not a place for getting drinks. But a name for the city gates. York has four major bars left in their city walls. This one’s my favorite because— besides being a stunner —it’s near my favorite coffee shop.

My countdown to York has begun. This Thursday I fly to the UK to begin the next chapter of my author life. I feel so fortunate to have been granted a talent visa in literature. Feels like a fairytale.

Over the moon to share I've been granted a UK Talent Visa. That means my beloved York will be my home-in-chief for the next few yrs. SO excited to connect w/ British historical fiction scene, & work on some UK based stories. UK writer friends, hope you don't get sick of me! #historicalfiction

No room in Trump’s MAGA cult for independent thought or action. Tillis wouldn’t sign the suicide pact.
Shock announcement: NC Senator Thom Tillis just announced he is retiring, less than 24 hours after he opposed starting debate on his party’s mega bill.

His seat is up in 2026, and having it be an open seat sure changes the calculus and Democratic chances of flipping it.

Protesters in Boston are rallying behind Los Angeles in opposition to the National Guard and the detainment of union leader David Huerta. They are yelling “Come for one, come for all," with signs that read “Massachusetts stands with our neighbors in Los Angeles."
