I stand with Senator Mark Kelly.

I’ve said this for years, but the real scandal of Russiagate wasn’t that Putin had something on Trump, but that Trump wanted to make the US like Putin’s Russia.

My new book launches today!

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files. There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation. It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.

Make that, "Of course we must." Especially the multiple parties bit. AKA democracy. You artificially limit the number of acceptable parties, you got one-party rule.

Painted tonight, but it’s nowhere near done, so instead here’s a piece I did in 2024 called Frosty Twilight (16”x20” mixed media). I went through a whole birches phase and this was part of that series. Anyhoooo….who’s ready for Monday?! I’m not! Lol #art #painting #mixedmedia #sundayscaries

TRUE JOY IS SERENE: Above all let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul. Inner Peace

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President. Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty. Endless projection. I hate him.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

If you needed any more evidence that the US has been taken over by pathetic middle school nerds, they just tried to jail somebody for beating them in a food fight.

The USA is nothing but a giant middle school. And middle school kids can't run a nation. So do the math.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.
