Kamala Harris 12/17/25: “We cannot during these next years say, hey I’m going to pull the covers over, wake me up when it’s over. We cannot do that.That is not the spirit of who we are as Americans.The spirit of who we are as Americans is we love our country and we fight for what is good and right.”

Our brilliant beloved Jimmy Kimmel, re the nauseating plaques that the First Felon placed under the presidential portraits in the White House: “It takes a special kind of lunatic to get his insults cast in bronze.”

That’s wild about the First Felon’s 160 posts across a 5-hour period! John Gartner & other psychologists say a person with dementia only gets worse—but wow, what an example of it! That same day John Gartner had said he will be worse the next time you see me—but wow, 160 posts across a 5-hour period!

I think it’s positively ***BRILLIANT*** that the 200+ Korean engineers are now suing ICE!

Robert Costello — a name I had never particularly noticed before — has now lodged himself in my mind and memory forever as the ultimate *scumbag* of all time, based on the brilliant depiction by Lawrence O’Donnell of his horrifying behavior in the courtroom today (or yesterday). Wow, what a scumbag.

Still getting a kick out of the First Felon saying he reduced prices by 1000%! Sellers must really not value their own products if they’re willing to give it to you for free (that’s the first 100% off), and then pay you 9X the original price (the other 900% off) to take the product off their hands!!

Impressive to have Heather Cox Richardson, Lawrence O’Donnell, Seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert, each in their own different ways, highlighting the identical Donald Trump “I don’t care about other people” photo. Here’s your photo to go hand in hand with the First Felon wanting children to go hungry.

Participated in the “Disappeared in America Day of Action” (of which there have been several), this one on Sat, Nov. 1. All dressed in black, walking in silence (except for our drummer), carrying signs with names of Massachusetts people recently disappeared by ICE. A smaller demo, deeply meaningful.

@democracydocket.com First Felon, who cannot be prosecuted for job-related actions, preceded medical comments with “I’m not a doctor.” RFK, who CAN be prosecuted for job-related actions, did NOT precede medical comments with “I’m not a doctor.” Expect lawsuits when unvaccinated children start dying?

Yay! Finally got my second lengthy, detailed message out to Governor Gavin Newsom! (My earlier one was July 11, almost 3 months ago.) I like letting him know what I appreciate about his actions and statements (I keep notes!) and I also like conveying to him my ideas, understandings, and suggestions.

I had to pause Stephen Colbert to go into the kitchen, and the TV landed on this exquisite image of him in this most charming and delightful moment — so delightful that I simply had to photograph my TV! I love that man soooooooo much.  He truly saves my life on an almost daily basis.

Since Trump’s humiliating speech at the UN (talking to West Point grads about trophy wives is at least to US citizens, not foreign heads of state!), been researching 25th Amendment. Seems Vance must initiate. From Pence’s experience, he knew this job would take courage.
