1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" Math doesn’t lie—people do. A buried NSA‑authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world.

I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see.

Maryland has the nickname 'America in miniature". Until I was in 2nd grade, I thought Maryland was the entire United States. I was surprised to learn that there were 49 other states.

All my family enjoy it. The New Zealand and Australia versions are fun too.

99° in NJ. Hope you have some good popsicles in the freezer.

Safe travels. See you Friday night! (Will probably not be discussing baseball).

Only 2x for me. My sister has the 45 of this. Probably very scratched.

Cory Booker is displaying true leadership right now, and every elected Democrat needs to be meeting this moment like this.

This is NOT business as usual and your actions need to reflect that.

'Heartbreak Kid" & "No Hope" by The Vaccines? Are you trying to tell me something?

Oops, I have The Vaccines. My match is at 1 pm. 🤞

It's on my calendar!

@booker-julian.bsky.social Good morning Julian. That Marissa Nadler tune was lovely, thank you.

Loved hearing the Andy Kim, thank you. I was exactly the right age to be reading about him in 16 Magazine. He was a real teen idol, but I preferred Bobby Sherman. 😎

British tourist detained by ICE during 'dream' backpacking trip in US Becky Burke, 28, was handcuffed and taken to a detention cell in Tacoma, Washington, on February 26 and is still in custody, according to her distraught family.

The US is no longer welcoming to tourists. A British backpacker's dream trip became a nightmare after ICE agents detained her at the Canadian border. Becky Burke, 28, remains in a Tacoma detention cell, leaving her family in deep distress.

@bookshop-org.bsky.social Just downloaded the app today, and bought an e-book to read.

Lovely to hear you this morning 🌞

Thank you.

@robynhitchcock.bsky.social Happy birthday from your New Jersey birthday buddy! Enjoying the Substack stories. I worked across the street from NYC's Iriquois Hotel in the 1980's. Might have seen you from my 7th floor office window.

I see my NJ Senators all the time: Cory Booker & Andy Kim.

Thank you. My first F@N was Dec. 2, 2005 - Calexico. First time seeing them too, but not the last.

In December, NYT revealed that Elon Musk and SpaceX were failing to meet govt reporting protocol designed to protect state secrets while they haul in billions in Pentagon contracts.

This triggered three reviews, according to the NYT. One was from the Defense Department inspector general. 1/

Loved hearing from The Walkmen's F@N. Was it the album release day? I remember a lot of their family attended. It was a jouous occasion. #iwasthere

Here's something Dems can consider doing right now: Band together and tell Trump and the GOP that they will not get *a single vote* for any legislation or nominee until he ends Elon Musk's illegal mission to gut our government.

My exchange w/Rep Don Beyer on this:

Good news about the Iain Matthews box set, thank you. It was a pleasure to hear him this morning.

Good morning music lover. Hope you are well. Come play some songs on Let's Loop.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and-

Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

What the Hell Is Going on at NIH? Scientists sound the alarm about Trump’s unprecedented “Big Brother” research crackdown.

Really thankful to all of the scientists who made themselves available to talk to me about the unprecedented situation at NIH.

I've never had so many people reach out to me for a story like this.
