Who else says yes more than they should? Overcommits and spreads themselves too thin? How old were you when you started learning to ask for help with things that were difficult to do alone? I wrote about these challenges in today's Aspen Daily News column. www.aspendailynews.com/opinion/grue...

She betrayed her trust for the purpose of destroying our social compact of peaceful governance. Such an attack on democracy should not be considered a non-violent crime. It is playing with fire, threatening society with violence on a scale more massive than any mere assault ever could.

A little more than a year ago, @paperwords.bsky.social received a letter from the US Forest Service detailing plans for a new wildfire recovery project. But a single word caught his eye—and alerted him to a secret, Big Tobacco-style campaign with ramifications for our forests.

Scientists are wary of glyphosate. MAHA loathes it. And our investigation shows California is spraying it everywhere.

If you believe this WHC thing wasn't staged, I've got a horse to sell you. They have shared zero evidence of an actual gunman. Secret Service entered the room before any sounds happened. Members of the cabinet were left behind. Orangeman claimed that "the show will go on." Dude's ear is scar-free.
