Truth. Measured.

20 yrs in the DC area taught me spring means cherry blossoms from a paddle boat in the middle of the Tidal Basin. Trump’s golf course renderings have leaked, and the historic grove is missing. He destroyed the East Wing, erased Jackie’s Rose Garden and he’s going to do it again unless he’s stopped.

The stage at the Great American State Fair is falling apart. It’s the perfect metaphor for Donald Trump’s America: held together with duct tape while the American brand collapses before the world’s eyes.

Air Force Major Jason Watson swore an oath to the Constitution. This is what it looks like in action. Thank you, sir, for your bravery.

What kind of dystopian hell are we living in when MAGA voices are publicly demanding women be sterilized before visiting the United States? Imagine believing that any woman on Earth would undergo a permanent medical procedure just to set foot in this shit hole country.

🔥🔥🔥

Hillary was right about everything and screw you if you still can’t see beyond your own privileged interests. Just think where we would be if she had won.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🍁 I have no idea why you put up with us. We’re the cellar dwellers in the continental crack den.

A nun arrested by ICE while walking to Mass was released from custody one day after Congress members intervened on her behalf. Her crime? Walking while black.

If you dare run for president as a Democrat, you’d better be prepared to expand this ethically bankrupt Court with principled, constitutional, liberal justices. That’s assuming the oligarchs leave enough room for anyone else to win.

Every day I feel much closer and more comfortable with burn it all down. All of it.

Only if your MAGA, Trump, his family, fascists, oligarchs and trillionaires. ♏️

It’s a great day!

Pain is a Brutal Teacher that Knows No Mercy.

Let us pray 🙏🏼

Donald’s big State Fair appears to be a huge success. Standing room only.

I’m sure you’ve seen Trump’s moronic passport post: “Welcome, but be good.” Welcome to whom? A U.S. passport is issued to American citizens. Is he welcoming us back into our own country, threatening us to behave, or is his brain melting inside his skull? We know the answer, but damn he’s stupid.

I guess the administration is seeing Pete climb in popularity. This is revolting and it’s going to get worse.

Next to Trump’s two presidential victories, this is my political nightmare. Don Jr. has been circling the 2028 conversation for years. Bettina Anderson doesn’t look accidental. It looks strategic. Trump wants a dynasty, and this feels like the opening move.

Time to gloat my gloating friends 😁

Urgent action is needed ⬇️

Liz Oyer just uncovered a bombshell. Horrified but not surprised.

The coffin dodging oxygen thief just throws a tarp on everything he fucks up.

We keep our birds alive.

Sunday edition. Cheers

It's the Pro-Algae Liberation Front at work again.

David Hearn, a former U.S. gold medal Olympic canoeist, was arrested Friday for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in D.C. Hearn says he was biking past, saw a piece of liner floating in the water, touched it, and was quickly arrested and taken into custody by Park Police.

Mona Khalil spent decades protecting endangered sea turtles along Lebanon’s coast. An Israeli airstrike struck her home and ultimately took her life. The woman who dedicated her life to protecting vulnerable life became another civilian casualty of the Israeli military campaign in Lebanon.

MacKenzie Scott credits her philanthropic outlook to 2 experiences from her college years when she had little money, a dentist fixed her tooth for free and a roommate loaned her $1,000 when she was considering leaving school. After divorcing Bezos, she married a Seattle science teacher. Be like her.

Chicago is considering renaming the stretch of Wabash Avenue in front of Trump Tower as Barack Hussein Obama Way. Mayor Brandon Johnson supports the proposal and so do I!

For most of us, the opening of the Obama Presidential Center was the real celebration of America’s 250th birthday. A reminder of the country we aspire to be. Everything that follows will feel like background noise and chaos.

Imagine believing you have the judgment to manage one of the world’s most strategically important waterways when you can’t keep a reflecting pool from turning green.

🙌🏼🤍🙌🏼

🤡

We paid 14 million+ for the reflecting pool renovation just to pour peroxide into it and peel the paint off. Every single thing that man touches dies.

The President of the United States is wandering around the Oval Office with Krazy Glue, gold spray paint, rosettes, and filigree ornaments, gluing them to the walls like it’s a Pinterest board.

Oh Michelle you brought it with so much extraordinary class. He shed a tear and so did I.

Listening to President Obama open his presidential center and talk about community, possibility, service, and the power of “we.” The contrast with our current politics couldn’t be more striking. One man built a center around civic engagement. The other builds everything around himself. Yes We Can 🙌🏼

Burnt honey latte for the win. 💛

The former first lady paid homage to her late mom at a Tuesday reception celebrating the upcoming opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. Her custom pencil skirt bore a portrait of Marian Robinson, who died in 2024. Real class is quiet. 🙌🏼🤍🙌🏼

The opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth will feature Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, The Edge, Eddie Vedder, Marc Anthony, Tems, Common, Marsai Martin, and The Roots. This is what respect looks like. Extraordinary

Tenzin Bob Thurman spent decades teaching Tibetan Buddhist wisdom and compassion to generations of seekers. Friend of the Dalai Lama, co-founder of Tibet House with Richard Gere, father of Uma. He touched countless lives, including my own. May his journey continue in peace. Om Mani Padme Hum 🕊️🤍🙌🏼

Excuse me, are there any men in this place?

This is one movie I’ll be first in line to see. Sean Penn has reportedly written and will direct a January 6 film inspired by Michael Fanone’s story, and the rumor is Bradley Cooper may star. None of the casting is confirmed yet, but if this comes together, count me in.
