An important message from Fed Board Chair Jerome Powell, against whom the Trump regime has now opened a bogus criminal investigation.

Screenshot of a post on X by Cristina Cordova (@cjc…) saying: “Turns out the last line of defense against authoritarian pressure is a mild-mannered former investment banker armed with spreadsheets.” The post quotes a Federal Reserve account post linking to a “Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell.” Below is a video still of Jerome Powell in a suit and tie standing in front of blue curtains with a U.S. flag to the side, with a “cc” closed-caption icon and a speaker icon on the video thumbnail.

What does it say about me and how often I dare to venture outdoors that when I put on clothing (out of my pjs, since I work from home) the dog panics about my departure.

I’m weirdly excited to go back to work, both on book edits for my next book with @ecwpress.bsky.social and teaching King’s. How lucky am I, for that feeling? Miss my students! Miss words!

“In one of the most astonishing political transformations in the history of democracy,” Hitler destroyed “a constitutional republic through constitutional means,” Timothy W. Ryback wrote in January. Revisit one of The Atlantic’s most-read stories of 2025: theatln.tc/wPdKTofM

My Dad asked to read a part of latest nonfiction, and I warned him it placed my grandpa in war, which I haven’t experienced but deeply researched. Dad is critical of EVERY war movie and depiction for all its flaws so I was nervous to share. He sent this 🥹

It’s #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek. I have rheumatoid arthritis, celiac and Graves’ disease, all autoimmune. My body constantly aches. Some days, my hands literally will not move. The fatigue is so crushing that sometimes even eating feels an impossible labour. Still, I have so much joy. Writing. Books

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Okay, so I didn’t quite make my #writing goal because Rheumatoid Arthritis has its demands and said I was done typing even though my brain want. But in just over 48 hours I wrote 9,287 words and I’m not sad about that. Book halfway finished! Publishing announcement coming soon…
