Anyone else watch the President struggle to pronounce “acetaminophen” while reading from scripted comments today?

Between yesterday’s Senate vote, and today’s Combs verdict, this week has been for shit. And it’s only Wednesday.

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

Great event last night at Politics and Prose. We need writers (possibly more than ever now) so promote away!

Can anyone suggest a purpose for these cuts other than straight-up petty cruelty? Is “Great Performances” more subversive than I realized?

MSNBC reporting that a Wisconsin judge has been arrested for “obstructing an immigration arrest” by the FBI last week. First time ever. WTAF?!

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

I recognize this was only a small part of the piece, but I’m glad you referenced the OVW website being shut down. Since funding was “paused” (!!!) almost two months ago, DV agencies (those with Family Justice Centers, specifically) have been left without information or guidance of any nature. Cruel.

Thank you, Women Aware. It’s been a great third act, capping a forty year legal career. These last three years, working as an advocate for victims, have been incredibly meaningful. Retirement begins Monday, but I’m not going too far. The work is too important.

Last night we introduced amendment after amendment to lower costs for Americans and protect Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

Senate Republicans voted down EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
