President Obama once said he'd like to drive alone in his car to clear his thoughts, "but the Secret Service won't let me." He noted the upshot to this is the fact that Mick Jagger and B.B. King will come over to your house and play for you. 💙

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated. He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one. He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers. Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

Swalwell: "We have a 70-plus-year history of failure not just in Iran, but all over the world, of trying to force regime change. By the way, it's being led by a guy who has more plans for the ballroom he's trying to build than anything he's gonna do next in the Middle East."

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.

Does anyone know how 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father will return to Minnesota now that they've been ordered released from ICE detention in Dilley, TX? ICE has been known to leave detainees stranded far from home. If this is the case, we'd like to know how we can help get them home.

We watched When Harry Met Sally last night. You know that scene w Meg Ryan faking an orgasm? That reminded me of The Odd Couple w Walter Matthau & Jack Lemmon. They're in a NY City diner, late at night. Felix is going through his paces with his sinuses. Oscar is mortified. Both scenes, so funny.

We visited the ISKON temple this morning. There were panels illustrating Krishna's life. In one, he slays an ass-demon. Later, Michael and I watched (for me, the first time) 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑦 𝑀𝑒𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦. Perfect day. New name for Oval Office squatter Great movie directed by Rob Reiner.

Donald Trump's address is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 9 p.m ET/8 p.m. CT. It's the perfect time to watch a Rob Reiner film. 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑦 𝑀𝑒𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 is our pick for the evening, esp. since I hadn't seen that movie. Others have their favorites lined up as well. Such a great idea! #RobReiner

Disregard for others is typical for Donald Trump. In 2008, he told Howard Stern about a guest who fell from a stage during a ball at Mar-a-Lago. He said the 80-yr-old bleeding man was "disgusting." He also shared he didn't bother checking in on the guest to see if he was okay. tinyurl.com/26eru6u6

Donald Trump once turned away from an unconscious 80-year-old man who had hit his head
"Get that blood cleaned up, it's disgusting"

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

If you are not a California resident, but you want to help protect our democracy, you can donate to Yes on Prop 50 here:
stopelectionrigging.com
Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act
Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.
