It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Mike Johnson: "Of course the branches have to respect our constitutional order, but ... "

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people:

- X markers will be a focal point
- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will
- Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders.

The rubicon has been crossed.

They are going to ignore court orders.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

It’s true. Joe Biden had EXACTLY the same deal with Mexico that Trump just announced — except he didn't have to threaten a trade war to get it.

Let’s see if the mainstream media reports this accurately. (Don’t hold your breath!)

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Dear Canada and Mexico,

We’re so, so sorry.

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart.

Don’t sell against the competition.

Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better

It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

“the vibes have shifted” is passive voice. “tech oligarchs made deliberate changes to social media algorithms which altered the way most people perceive reality in a successful attempt to engineer business-favorable outcomes” is more EW WOKE CRINGE but it’s also direct, accurate, and meaningful

DC Children's Hospital has just contacted me to tell me my reporting is "inaccurate" that they have stopped providing gender affirming care.

How is it inaccurate?

They still provide "mental healthcare."

Read my response.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Thank you Erin for all that you do. It’s exhausting work but we appreciate you so much. Take care of yourself 💚

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.

Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries.

We are not going anywhere.

Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

Intentional double speaking on their part… I just hope people will do their own fact checking 😵‍💫
