The note sent by a system that she got the upgrade for a friend’s upcoming flight; the text from a charity reminding her to nudge me. The unrelenting reminders that in all things she was the center and she was doing little things for everyone as casually as I breathe.

Tom Homan asked for and received a Sheriff’s Deputy badge and credentials despite having no qualifications or reason. The Sheriff of Culpeper VA has been convicted of selling these credentials to people who wanted to impersonate law enforcement.

All deference to Ms. Swift who is clearly brighter and more talented than 10 of me, but I have the wisdom of age: Please get married for yourselves, and not for a crowd at MSG. Signed a Dad.

This is the most horrifying event I can think of, and I can’t help but think it’s deranged MAGA. I quite literally teared up. I cannot imagine the evil in someone’s soul that could do this. I was a single father and had a similar event, driven quite literally by a mentally ill person.

Both of my daughters live in Arlington, which has unbelievable housing costs because it’s always been an upscale, safe DC-area neighborhood. All the talk now is about crime, which is driven mostly by the mentally-ill homeless, and rich kids who are bored and partying.

The purpose of the reflecting pool is to loiter and reflect. It’s literally the designated area for this.

Let’s start with murder and raping stuff: “See, the day of the Lord is coming, a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger... I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty... Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated.” Isaiah 13:9

Never try to bluff a Persian who’s holding an inside strait.

It’s all 1950 again. youtu.be/SkYl_AH-qyk?...

Hillary Clinton , June 2016 on Trump criticizing the Obama Iran deal. As always she was right…

Honestly: Fuck you John Roberts and your Democracy-killing Citizens United. Almost everything horrible happening in America can be traced to you and your corrupt court. wapo.st/3QZmR2g

I uncovered a bombshell that hasn’t been reported anywhere else. It’s a new rule DOJ quietly adopted which gives the Attorney General tremendous new power to punish political enemies and reward friends and donors. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/rcee4...

It’s completely fitting that Maher will get this “honor” under the Trump-ruled Kennedy Center. Like baseball during the steroids era, he’ll have the asterisk of shame next to his name on this list forever. Anyone with any class would refuse it. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/l...

For the first time in 30 years, child deaths are now rising, in large part due to USAID cuts Lancet modelling shows USAID cuts will cause 14 million deaths including 4.5m children, by 2030. Independent CGDev research backs this up

This race cost a study astounding $80 million dollars, much of it financed by David Trone personally. You have to ask yourself why these folks are spending so much to be in Congress, and here’s a hint: It’s not to help you.

Sweet baby Jesus if y’all could see how much money is being spent in the MD congressional by David Trone (70 years old, who represented MD in this seat for 6 years and “retired”) vs April McClain Delaney the current D incumbent, defending the seat. All that D money for a vanity play. It’s insane.

Because of course. Thanks Donnie, you’ve taught every terrorist country how to get American taxpayer money.

Trump on Iran: “Do you mean we can win the battles but lose the war? Nobody’s ever heard of such a thing!”

If any of the news organizations really wanted huge ratings they’d run one day a week as a Trump-free day: Absolutely no mention of him unless it was a real bona fide emergency. I’d tune in for a full hour of local and world news if it was guaranteed Trump-free.

The me, the Reflecting Pool is working well, calmly showing a perfect image of Trump’s America. Surrounded by armed military, it’s the perfect spot to contemplate the state of our society.

The Strait is open and Trump should prove this by having JD Vance sail through standing on the bow of a ship waving an enormous US Flag. ‘Merica!

The reflecting pool is perfectly clear and Trump should prove it by having his entire cabinet go swimming in it and drink from it.

Not a joke, actual photo and correct facts.

Therapy for me is often fixing old cars. I’ll take a fancy one to a Father’s Day car meetup, but today I’m fixing the old Galaxie project I found; just an original old convertible. Brake “hard lines” are one of the most frustrating things to replace, so Chonk kept watch as emotional support…

Let’s watch, but Kristi Noem and Lewandowski spent nearly $1B on no-bid deals to buy these detention centers. Taxpayers are about to take a massive bath on them…. www.wsj.com/us-news/dhs-...

Just pointing out that hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer: It breaks the bond between paint and a substrate. The attempts to use hydrogen peroxide to kill algae (not in itself a bad plan, but not by pouring it around the edges) have now ruined the $14M paint job.

Chonk and Eevee have visitors. So many visitors…

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

This is absolutely illegal, complete theft. $300M. Congress will do nothing. Calling this a ballrom is just stupid: He’s building a bunker for the civil war he’s going to incite. wapo.st/3QOZsQX

It’s really striking to watch NYC, Mandami and the joy the Knicks bring to millions together, vs. the hatred, violence and divisiveness we witnessed that Trump purposefully produced on the WhiteHouse lawn just a few days ago…

It’s so fantastic to see every great living President together today in Chicago.

A day of joyous soccer fans, ecstatic New Yorkers in the streets celebrating their team and city, and truly loving Americans wistfully showing their respect at Obama’s library opening while Trump is sidelined, derided and laughed at by the entire world. ‘Merica

Trump announces he’s tearing up the Alaska purchase agreement, will negotiate a new agreement with Russia. “That deal was very unfair, I can get a much better deal!”

Trump negotiating the Panama Canal: “We very strongly negotiated. There will be a canal; we will not pay for it, but we will pay for it. We agreed that at in the future we might be able to very strongly use the canal. We’ll see how it goes. It’ll be the greatest canal, that I can tell you.”

Cheap Trick has just signed on to play at Trump's 4th of July event. As the headliner, they've agreed to play only one song.

The G8 or NATO should just include a morning run or a bike ride for leaders. Full press coverage: everyone just jump into some shorts and a t-shirt and do a 3k run or a 5 mile ride.

Trump’s Government is negotiating OneGov agreements with IT companies, including companies that I’ve run or been in senior management. They explained that the goal of the negotiations is to issue a press release touting massive savings, even if those savings aren’t real: Companies can propose huge

Trump will eventually decree that the Iran agreement that’s published is just part of the full agreement and there’s another part that’s super secret squirrel classified that makes it “very strong” but he can’t make that public (because of course it doesn’t actually exist).

4th time I’ve seen this idiot on @CNN in 60 hours. I counted “ as I say in my book” 14 times across this appearances. It’s just so ridiculous how broken we are as a country, and how there are folks on the air 24 hours a day happily chipping away for a buck.

It’s just a sad truth that America’s first signed unconditional surrender comes at our 250th birthday. We passed apex in 1980; Republican obsessions killed America.

Trump will drain the reflecting pool and blame massive structural problems “that no one could have expected” prior to the July 4th Trump Reich Rally rather than let everyone see his failure. This will cost taxpayers more than $100 million in the end all because of his stupidity and vanity projects.

I don’t know why media keeps referring to Trump’s project as a “Ballroom”. A ballroom could be built for $50 million and be fantastic. He’s building a bunker. $700m of the project is classified. It’s Bunker, it’s not a ballroom.

It’s funny that none of the Billionaires are lifting a finger to bail Trump out of his reflecting pool disaster. He’s just the village idiot that no one wants to deal with unless he’s handing them $.

Kentucky Republicans begin to search for a replacement: “We’re searching the prisons, we’ve got some leads from the animal abuse agencies. He leaves big shoes to fill but Kentucky has a long history of sending the absolute worst to represent us, and we feel we are up to the task once again.”

Me 6 weeks ago…just sayin’

I’m 10 miles west of the WhiteHouse. The rain has started here and is headed east.

Thank you to the many people who messaged me or emailed me. I’m not really ready to get back. Thinking, reading, grieving, ignoring. The important thing is the dogs are ok. It’s so hard when I’m losing my country and my kids’ future all at the same time as losing my guiding light. Thanks folks.

My other gave up to her MS. She was the best person. I’m probably done here, but I’ve really enjoyed the company.

Me seeing the night star formation and trying to take a picture with my 2 dogs on a leash pulling…

I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.
