Tom and I are going to restart our political cartoon that we did cathartically during the first T-Rump administration. We are going to do some of the old information and some new ones.

I wish the rich donors and whoever convinced President Trump to lower the tariffs cared as much about people facing hunger, and so would convince him to restore Poverty Focused Development Assistance and increase SNAP, WIC and the Child Tax Credit. Now that really would be a beautiful thing!

The new Social Security processes are making it harder for millions of people to access their hard-earned benefits. Donald Trump and Elon Musk have one ultimate goal: to create a cycle of dysfunction and chaos so that they can give tax cuts to billionaires.

Finished watching Netflix' new series, "Zero Day". We don't usually watch thrillers, but this one is so engrossing, we couldn't turn away.

Proud of our NJ Attorney General:
Presidents can’t overrule the Constitution and centuries of precedent with a stroke of a pen.
I'm leading a coalition of 18 states in suing to stop Trump's unlawful EO banning birthright citizenship.
When we say we will fight for the rule of law, we mean it.

Lovely visit with our niece Alexis and David and Trisha last night - including an exciting game of Scattegories to distract us from the pain of all the executive orders being signed yesterday.

Have focused this weekend on finding alternative places and sites to Amazon and Whole Foods, to buy what we usually have gotten from them. We figure that where we spend our money is one thing we can control.
