Artist. Nature lover. Dog lover. Independent. Rabid fan of democracy and freedom. Fierce advocate of women, girls, LGBTQ friends & fam. I thrive on a steady diet of humor & speak fluent sarcasm.
This resonates with me and I know many of you too.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

You’re right. I’m sorry. I agree with you. The baby needs a bath. So let’s just dump it in a vat of Clorox. Is it Clorox? Hell, who cares what’s in there—just dump it in! We’re just gonna throw the bathwater out anyway!

This post resonates with me. It was attributed to Ron Howard most recently, but ends up, it was penned by a woman from Pittsburgh in 2018, Lori Gallagher Witt.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

The “front yard” is still solid but looking more thawed with each passing day. You won’t believe the sounds it makes when it starts to move. I’ll video that with sound & post later. Hope it’s in the daylight.

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.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

Honored to be named Communications Task Force Co-Chair for the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social! Trump and his Republican allies are already trying to hide the impacts of their attacks on women - we're not about to let them.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
