60 years on this earth and I’m amazed at what people will believe. Paralegal by trade, so I’m suspicious by nature. That said, I’m just a dot in the Deep South, trying to figure out why I’m one of a very few who seem to realize the emperor has no clothes…

"What can I do?"

That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question.

Below is a video with my answer:

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

This breaks me. She is married to Jonathan Cain. From Journey. The music of my life. I find it interesting that she does not use his name.

And she’s terrifying. How can people believe this craziness?

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Trump Tariffs will be just as successful as Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, Trump Shuttle, Trump Taj Majal, Trump Mortgage, Trump University, Trump Foundation, Trump Entertainment Resorts, and Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts.

If you’re not part of the resistance, you’re part of the problem. And stay out of the way of the people that actually care about this country and the human beings in it.

The cruelty is the point. The hatefulness is the point. The freedom to abuse is the point.

Sadly for the rest of us, it’s the find out phase.

From where I sit, it’s all based in hatefulness. Which is sad.
How does any of this address the problems facing Americans: cost of groceries, cost of meds, cost of healthcare, cost of childcare, schools needing improvement, teachers salaries etc

Mark Kelly is about as centrist and polite as you can get and would never attack a fellow veteran. Kelly literally said he couldn’t find a single quality in Hegseth that would permit him to run the military. Kelly’s words were a stunning indictment.

Banning trans kids from sports solves *none* of the problems that Americans are facing.

Let’s be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home.

Corporate greed is.

Friend, these are frankly heartbreaking days.

I imagine right now you are exhausted and you're asking yourself if you should just stop giving a damn altogether, like so many of the people you think you envy because they are oblivious.

You shouldn't.
