I'm a writer, bookseller, and bon vivant living in San Francisco. I love cats, houseplants, bicycles, silly cocktails, and midcentury modern design. I wish A.O.C. were president.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded.
These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

I love how the right is trying to scare us by saying the United States is turning into one of those European countries with great mass transit and free healthcare.

Republicans are plotting to eliminate habeus corpus, cornerstone of the ancient liberties enshrined in the Magna Carta of 1215 and ever since a bulwark against tyranny amongst the English speaking peoples. Should they succeed, Americans will have fewer rights than medieval peasants!

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
