A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.
A Washington state sheriff literally saying he’s above the law. If he doesn’t “recognize the authority” of the elected officials who make the laws, then what are we doing here??

I asked AI for six–sevvvvennn dad jokes… and it gave me 67. So Merz and I read all of them. No skipping. No dignity. Just pure dad-powered chaos. New episode: “Six-Sevvvennn Gone Wrong.”

My daughter’s first-grade class sang for Veterans Day…
and one line from the pledge hit me harder than I expected.
“One nation. Indivisible.”
Maybe it’s time we remember what that actually means.

If the loudest voices and the cheapest lies can divide us…
then what exactly are we pledging allegiance to?
#SexyDadJokes #Storytelling #Indivisible
We keep hearing “a nation divided.”
But maybe we’ve just forgotten how to do the math.
One nation. Indivisible.
That’s the equation.

Tearing down the people’s house… for a ballroom.
If anyone else had done that, we’d call it an attack.
So what have we been fighting for — if this is what it comes to?

Leadership isn’t a reality show.
And this… isn’t how any of this should work.
#SexyDadJokes #Storytelling #Indivisible
We say “indivisible”… but look around.
This is how division became our national pastime.

I had a revelation at my first-grade daughter's assembly. Four generations of my family served believing in “one nation, indivisible.” This Veterans Day, I asked what happened to that promise — and how we find it again.

There’s no “trans crisis.” No “immigration invasion.” The real crisis is loneliness — people who just want to be seen. Even a fish in a tuxedo wants that.
After two years away, I brought back Sexy Dad Jokes.
Not because I missed the mic — but because we’ve forgotten how to talk to each other.
It’s raw. Imperfect. Human.
We don’t have to agree to care.
Let’s disagree agreeably.

Before anyone believed her, someone else had to die. Danielle Stovall lived to tell the story.

I was just thinking that. Dude just flexed some serious emotional intelligence
Blatant, unapologetic government-directed censorship #kimmel
Let’s not forget, the Raiders are a new team. Lotta hype, and it is indeed a new day w Pete. But Chargers have had a year to gel under Harbaugh. Huge advantage. Ashton will be fine. Geno is still the man. It’ll just take time to forge a new identity on the battlefield.

I don't think it helps the movement to be putting down magas.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."
Authoritarians follow a simple playbook:
1. Discredit the facts
2. Attack the messenger
3. Seize control of the truth
Trump is now targeting the jobs data guy. Why?
Because the truth didn’t flatter him.
So he wants to install a loyalist who WILL lie.
We’ve seen this before. Don’t look away.
Let’s be clear: This isn’t about “jobs data.” It’s about power.
Trump is trying to fire the independent referee because he doesn’t like the score.
Then he’ll install someone who will rig the game.
That’s not leadership. That’s authoritarianism 101.
And yes — we’re watching.

The world feels like it’s on fire. Instead of turning down the temperature, our leaders keep cranking it up.
We could choose a different path.
One that’s smart. Compassionate. Evolved.
What would it look like if we actually got it right?

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
Gov: keeps planes in the sky, food safe, roads drivable
America: “Ugh, useless.”
Also America: panics when DMV closes for 2 hours
Y’all… government is just us in sweatpants doing miracles. Stop tearing it down — give it a rebrand.
