Huh. I have no problem with Trump's latest Executive Order. Never thought I'd say that.

My back has really been hurting this week so I’m giving it a day of rest- usually walk a few miles with dog every morning. He is staring at me. He is displeased. I am living in fear.

I love reading novels. I’m always amazed by folks who don’t read fiction. There is nothing better, to me, than being in the middle of a book that you can’t wait to return to. It’s like living two lives at once.

I had no idea I could fall totally in love with a book about cowboys. About halfway through Lonesome Dove and I’m now dreaming about these characters. Incredible.

Man, I love being in the middle of a very long engrossing novel. My only superpower is that I read really fast. Most novels are over too fast. Lonesome Dove Is completely engrossing and 900ish pages. I get to stay in this world for a while! Never knew I could love a western!

Oh. Liberty Energy, the oil company founded by Trump's Energy Secretary Chris Wright, paid $0 in U.S. taxes last year on $201 million. Peter Thiel's Palantir Technology raked in $1.58 billion and paid zero taxes. Tesla reported no federal income tax paid on nearly $5.7 billion of income in 2025.

April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.

You must listen. This is the most complete account yet of how ICE agents violently abducted a legal citizen in Maine, who had valid ID and no criminal record, and how he’s now suing to hold them accountable. It’s deeply disturbing and completely disgraceful. 👇

Elizabeth Warren on Eric Swalwell: "What surprises me is how these guys keep doing this over and over, he's not the first and probably won't be the last. They get into positions of authority and they think they can have whatever they want. It's good to see a little accountability."

it's an astounding display of our lack of empathy as a society that we are unable to respond to SA with any level of decorum. the problem begins with our attitudes toward men's behavior and our expectations for that. believe survivors. teach men not to rape. teach women to demand better.

Obviously Swalwell is a horrible human being. But I just can't get over the hubris of men who behave this way and then continue to run for office as if this behavior can't touch them. Like how do you think this horrific behavior stays buried??

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Why do most of the MAGA people kind of look alike physically? I'm not talking about the influences or inner circle people. I'm talking about your average MAGA voter on the street. They resemble each other. Is MAGA genetic?

Judaism forbids murder. Netanyahu thrives on it. The Torah correctly respects the Children of Ishmael (Arabic ppl) as a “great nation” prophesied by G-d. Netanyahu doesn’t practice Judaism. Judaism demands Tikkun Olam, healing & repairing of the world. Netanyahu destroys it.
