I feel like it’s more important than ever to be intentional about noticing things like happiness, joy, and beauty where I can find them, and appreciating and embracing them more than ever. I feel that is what will get me through these crazy times.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

I am afraid one party and its current White House resident are too timid to use the hell out of SCOTUS’s granting of presidential immunity and release Jack Smith’s report no matter what the courts say. Heck, pardon everyone in DOJ who may have had a hand in its release while you’re at it.
