Husband, father, and a believer in democracy and will fight for it. I love a good pun and need to laugh more these days… but sadly I am not.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

RIP St. Francis of Assisi, died this day 1226, exactly 800 years ago, tomorrow is his feast day. He has always been my favorite saint. "A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows." "Make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love."

Trump's "trapped in a fantasy world" where "he is doing a great job, he's fantastic, the economy's great," says John Harwood. "His psychological disfigurement will not allow him to feel the voters' pain."

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.

Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Donald Trump trying to dismantle the International Criminal Court, so the US can't be tried for war crimes, is like a serial killer lobbying for the repeal of the criminalization of homicide. It also mean Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are *definitely* committing war crimes.
