John Fetterman has become the focus for lots of Dems. PA just voted for Trump and a R senator. Fetterman is representing his constituents, not you. Be happy to have Fetterman in the D caucus, and focus energy on getting more D congresspeople. Are you happier with a R WV Senator instead of Manchin?

I’m grateful for the return of the Israeli/British hostage with hopefully more to come. It’s a rare good that may come from Trump’s return. Of course Netanyahu delayed action and added to the hostages’ hell to interfere with an election. So hard to weigh the contribution. Still grateful.

Cowboys are now the only NFC team in past 19 years to miss the conference championship game. Jerry Jones should fire his GM, but he can’t and that’s the problem.

Why @nytimes.com have you added an extra step in iOS for sharing articles? All your options and more are on the Apple share sheet. Could you at least have an option to remove your sheet?

Rarely do you see people living their values to the detriment of their pocketbook. @anntelnaes.bsky.social has done just that, and my admiration for her is boundless.
Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.
I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:
“Newspapers die in cowardice.”

Sad that it’s come to this, and I am uneasy about the conflict, but I’m at peace with the Hunter Biden pardon. Any other fair-minded president would have issued it. My old office (EDNY) would never have brought such a case.
