If he builds his golden ballroom, how soon can it be torn down?

Indeed, let’s remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

Two of my friends died of cancer this week. One, lung cancer; the other, breast cancer. And two other friends celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary today. Joy and sorrow, woven fine.

A statement from Kamala D. Harris:

Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.

This Administration’s actions are not about public safety β€”they’re about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process.

Protest is a powerful tool β€” essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.

I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.

I'm a breast cancer survivor. I'm likely to be a cancer patient again. I pray for cutting edge research to extend the time I have with my kids.

This breaks my heart.

It's going to lead to so much death.

There's a twisted strategy behind Trump 2.0's assault on the national parks. It begins with breaking the most popular of the nation's public assets.

Read all about it in my latest Substack post, "DOGE-ing the national Parks: First, Break Them."

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
