Last night, after a wonderful dinner with three friends, including one who joined us remotely from Mexico, at Bill and Bernardine's, Bill handed us this card as we were leaving. I want both to keep it close and pass it on.
That's wonderful news!

We expected better from her?
At today's briefing, WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who has banned the AP from covering Presidential events, was bragging about the success of Trump's anti-immigration efforts by citing a report from... the AP.
She then went on to brag about a Judge refusing to block her banning of the AP.

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
Democrats? Republicans? Helloooo?
It is hard to imagine someone more disqualified to run our intelligence agencies than Tulsi Gabbard.
Bernie Sanders: "For Mr. Musk and his fellow oligarchs, the needs, the concerns, the pain, the ideas, and dreams of ordinary people are simply an impediment to what they the oligarchs are entitled to. And that is really what they believe -- they are entitled to all the wealth and power they have."
