If you buy my book NOW! you will get nothing extra or special as a bonus. Just my gratitude and a promise to apologize much later. It's a great last gift to give to someone who will have once thought better of you.

I will reiterate that I think forcing a constitutional crisis is the only way out of this problem. – Arrest ICE agents – Nullify federal actions – Declare state sovereignty It will be dangerous, of course, but if we believe in constitutional democratic values, then what choice do we have?

First time I went to Romania it was only a couple of years after the revolution. The only jobs the ex-Securitate goons could get was as badly paid waiters and they didn’t get tips ‘cos everybody hated them. I hope the ICE asshats are reading this post.

The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same.

Trump is violating federal law by blocking the release of the Epstein files—denying survivors the accountability they deserve. By defying our subpoena & now Congress itself, this White House continues to shield powerful abusers and their enablers.

My new doctor, whom I’ll probably lose after the insurance goes away, he’s so kind…and then yesterday in my annual exam he suggested perhaps I could read and write only happy stories. Just for awhile. Solid advice that will never be taken under advisement.

If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women. It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.

I hear they are shipping early. It’s a great holiday stocking stuffer, fits in most sized socks real good…& long as it isn’t a special Jesus sock, the heresies shouldn’t spontaneously combust or nothing. You may want to ask children to look away on Xmas morning, though.
