Ironically, the legacy of the current administration WILL be that we have to focus on America first. Because it is going to take a lot of effort, over many years, to fix our system of government, repair what was lost, and literally rebuild the country. We aren't much use to anyone else right now.

Don’t get complacent, Buckeye friends! Polls aren’t votes. But we CAN shift our state back to some sanity and governance that actually represents the people!

On one hand - I LOVE the concept of less Trump coverage. We all need a break. On the other hand - lack of coverage means we won’t be observing the moral and mental decline, and the evil that it’s promoting at a time when voters need to be reminded of this the most. Right now - who really benefits?

I'm just going to keep yelling this louder and louder until it clicks: weird overpaid AI nerds hand-wringing about human extinction are trying to distract you from the extremely deadly and serious harms they are causing yesterday, today and tomorrow www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Headline: "US Data Centers Set to Burn More Natural Gas Than Most Nations" above a photo of natural gas compressor towers, power lines and a crane at an industrial site, illustrating rising gas use tied to data centers.News excerpt reporting that U.S. data centers’ natural gas use is expected to grow by 15 billion cubic feet per day by 2035—amounting to more gas than every country except China, Russia, Iran and the U.S., citing the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Honestly, I'd say the most disastrous decisions of Obama and Biden were not really holding anyone accountable for crimes committed under the previous administration. Obama wanted to "turn the page" on Iraq and the financial meltdown while Biden never put any urgency behind the January 6th cases

Rabies is in the news, so I thought I'd share a terrifying little article suggesting that we're only noticing 7% of human rabies deaths in the United States. 93% just get missed or mistaken for something else, and the victims probably never imagined they were infected. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Today is also the six month anniversary of my father’s death. While I was fighting the Washington Post, I was deep in grief. I hate that I can’t call him to tell him the news that I got my job back. But Daddy, wherever you are, I did it. I stood up for myself like you told me to do. 😭

Wanting everyone to be able to meet their basic needs isn’t inherently opposed to individuals doing well. Socialism isn’t communism. We need to stop looking at the world as a place with finite resources and see the unlimited potential if we work toward common goals that benefit all.

It’s not radical to believe you should be able to afford groceries, see a doctor, breathe clean air, and drink clean water. There’s nothing more American than fighting for a government of, by, and for the people.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
