9.11 - I had been in Rome for just a week and was arriving by train in Naples. It was nearing sunset, but 8 hours away (and unbeknownst to me) the first tower had just been hit. I encountered a Brit and several Pakistani/British guys, “have you heard?!” they frantically asked me.

Allowing the wealthiest person on the planet unfettered access to private and secure data of the American public and government systems does not just erode the separation of powers that keeps our Democracy resilient - it perches us perilously on the precipice of a disastrous end.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

BREAKING: I’m hearing from several VA employees that they have been locked out of VATAS - thats how employees request leave - like administrative leave to file EEO complaints. It also shows your work schedule and OT. If this has happened to you, please reach out using the contact info in my bio.

Public schools offer greater accessibility, ensuring all children, regardless of income, receive a free education, unlike private schools. They promote diversity and inclusion, exposing students to peers from various backgrounds, which fosters social growth and prepares them for the real world.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
