I am no longer listening to or supporting any journalist who sits there while the president insults and demeans one of their colleagues. Get a spine or go away.

Courage only counts if you use it when it’s courageous to use it. Otherwise it’s cowardice wrapped in excuses

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

You know, everyone, the only power our disgraced and disgraceful president really wants is the voluntary obedience of cowards & grifters. If people don’t do his illegal & insane demands, he falls apart.

Courage. Use it.

Home Depot has failed to condemn ICE raids on its properties. Vigils will soon take place to remember the people who've been abducted and killed at Home Depot:

These vigils also warn customers that Home Depot has been silent about these injustices.

It’s been now over two months since I had Covid, which triggered both a Lupus & mono flare. I’m now only in a Lupus flare, BUT wanted to show you how I get through my days. Anjelika always finds ways to make me smile & feel better. FINALLY captured it on video. Enjoy & thank YOU so much for caring!🙏

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

This is one of those extremely rare moments when I wish folks who aren't into baseball could be clued into how special this is. We may be witnessing the best individual MLB performance of all-time.
Ohtani has ten strikeouts and two homers tonight, and it's only the 6th inning. Bonkers.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

The more GOP officials and right-wing hacks try to spin and pivot from their Young Republican leaders praising Hitler and racism and gas chambers for their enemies, the more it puts the story in the spotlight.

Keep at it!

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

If you're a 60-year-old couple in my district earning $82,000/year and you are enrolled in a HealthCare.gov plan, your premiums could rise by $1250 a month starting in 2026.

Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans should end the shutdown and join us.
