Allow myself to introduce myself.

I host a historical true crime podcast called Vintage Villains. I have written a lot of books. The Other Mrs Miller is the best known of them.

I like to crochet cute critters and do a lot of cooking and baking.

I swear a lot, and I really fucking hate bigots.
Elon went after #USAID not for alleged fraud, but because Starlink was under investigation, among other things. HE is the fraud, and he's spending $40 million dollars on propaganda filled with lies.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

USAID provides lifesaving humanitarian aid around the globe.

Musk, the world's wealthiest man, is calling for its closure, describing it as a "criminal organization."

And it looks like Musk will get his way.

This is America.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

the media has now more or less uniformly adopted the theory that the president is allowed to violate the law and constitution however much he wants to so long as he says he is going to do it in advance

Gonna burn one while the world burns. Wasn't legal last time fascism was beating down the door, so at least there's that I guess.

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

I also have my yearly physical coming up. We are racing against our deteriorating meatsacks to bring you some quality fiction here!
Wrote for a solid hour on a sort-of supersekrit projekt I'm working on with @msallied.bsky.social. We're both stupid excited about it.

Anyway, tomorrow I get to find out how badly I'm falling apart at my annual physical. Until then, read books, do science, be ungovernable, and

From the timing (a judge had ordered Trump to sit for deposition next week), it seems ABC News didn't even bother to depose Trump, much less file for summary judgment, and instead paid a $15m bribe to a slush fund Presidential "foundation" not yet established. It's obscene.
JUST IN: A day after Trump and George Stephanopoulos were ordered to appear for depositions, they settled the case.

ABC has agreed to make a $15 million contribution to Trump presidential museum/foundation and air an apology for mischaracterizing the E. Jean Carroll verdict.

I personally don’t celebrate gun wielding assassins in broad daylight under any circumstances.

That being said: United HealthCare absolutely did try to kill me by trying to cut my chemotherapy dosage and I had to get my senator to intervene and it was one of the most traumatic weeks of my life.

United Health Care has the highest claim denial rate in the industry. They want to penalize people for making "non-critical" emergency room visits. My guess is it's up to them to decide what's critical short of arriving in a body bag.

Anyway the CEO was just murdered. 🤷‍♀️

The country that twice elected the incompetent philandering rapist over a highly qualified woman isn't going to flinch twice at Pete Hegseth being an abuser.
