I’m so relieved. I was furious to hear from my friend at a book con that the venue was also hosting an ICE job fair. However, a kind soul reached out to tell me that it wasn’t the bad ICE, it was some other totally unrelated group. I mean, who knew there was more than one ICE group in Florida! 😵‍💫

I’m telling our kids this is Mitch McConnell

True story: I saw my doc this week and she asked about diet, protein, etc., and when she asked about dairy I leaned forward, lowered my voice, and said, “If you knew how much cheese I consume, I’d be in jail.”

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
