Took husband to see Epsidoe 3 on the big screen to celebrate its 20th anniversary. It’s scary precisely how close this is to our own reality. Sadly we don’t have the ability to leave the planet.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

It’s ok. As long as you don’t need your investments for the next 10-15 years, the market always trends up. I mean c’mon. Look back to 1929. We are so far ahead from there.

Yes. That was something someone actually said to me. I had to just laugh.

Honestly. Is anyone doing ok?? We need a new greeting other than “how are you doing?”

Because my answer is always - other than “this” (gesticulating wildly around myself) how was the theater Mrs Lincoln.

I had actually been telling myself - At least we have the Kennedy Center. I would hope that they would shut the place down then let him besmirch it with his “culture”

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

It’s truly believable that we are here. Some of us knew what would happen and no one wanted to believe…they all said we won’t let that happen. We will stand with you. As if that matters now. We have failed as a society when more people didn’t vote than votes cast for the winning side.

She was an amazing lady. Consummate coaches wife. Grateful for all the times I got to talk with her over the years.
The Husky community mourns the passing of Carol James and offers sympathies to the James family and all who knew her.

It’s not just that he says there are two genders. It’s the fact saying that the federal government won’t recognize a change to that gender. THAT is the bigger problem. I really wish the news would actually report the issue.

This is the equivalent of being asked if you will defend the right to freedom of speech & answering that you will “study the First Amendment.”

The treatment of the 14th Amendment’s protections & guarantees as optional rather than required is the consistent approach of rightwing lawyers & judges.
Padilla: Will you defend birthright citizenship as the law of the land?

Bondi: I will study birthright citizenship

Padilla: You're asking to be considered for Attorney General and you still need to study the 14th Amendment of the Constitution?

I will share with this space….the first anxiety induced insomnia took over
Last night.

Everything from personal health, to my business, to the state of our country and world….it would be nice if one thing was locked in and advancing smoothly.

But that’s a big ask.
