I put your post thru Google Translate and my laptop short circuited. Love, Mom

Oh my, that cute little blond Tri-Delt from UF is all worked up this morning!!

He has no idea how property and casualty rates are calculated, does he? And no inkling about state regulation for insurance sold in that state. Nor any understanding that forcing actuarially unsound rates will result in an insurance availability crisis? What a dim bulb!

Can I be the personnel director for the robot staff, please?

What a great idea, Speaker Johnson!

I hope your menorah faces a window so others can see the light and understand you will not be fearful in these days of hateful, anti-Semitic acts.

Hideous!

Lonely? Do you need a visit from Mom and Dad?

Why is it that whenever they send Hassett out to explain some awful economic indicator, he does the interview with a constant grin? Like he’s joyful at the misery his boss has created?

Our daughters and granddaughters will read about Speaker Pelosi in future history books. I know they will understand what a transformation leader she was.

And is there a photo you can post? Love, Mom

WTF? I live in south Georgia (Valdosta) and our Republican congressman Austin Scott has not held a town hall meeting in ten years! I’ve called his office repeatedly to ask when he plans to hold one, and all I’m told is that “my concerns will be shared with Representative Scott.”

Still untethered to reality.

It seems to me that Republicans get caught with sleazy porn, extra-marital affairs, or child predator stings a whole lot more than you’d think, considering their so-called religious beliefs.

What inane gobbledygook!

Not exactly the actions one would take when campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize …

As a liberal voter adrift among a crushing MAGA majority in my small south Georgia town, this news is a balm for my soul. Please run for governor of Georgia, Mr. Duncan!

Here I am, a “stupid elderly white hippie” reporting for duty, comrade Miller!

Start at The Villages!

What’s next? Will the prestigious Smithsonian Natural History Museum replace their human evolution exhibit with one that displays our origins in the biblical Garden of Eden? I’m so sorry, Frans Boas.

A confederacy of grifters!

Please take a look at this documentary made about some elderly Ukrainian grandmothers who refused to leave their homes near Chernobyl after the disaster. I watched it a couple of years ago as part of an anthropology class. You may be able to use some of the information

Hassett’s odd smiley face is so off-putting. Do you think he smiles so much while defending the mad King because he knows that what he’s saying is a form of pretzel logic? Or is he just another Trump happy cultist?

I enjoy your writing, Molly, whether it’s Blue Sky or your fabulous book. I’m at page 206 and should finish it today. Thanks for sharing your story and your mother’s story … wrenching at times, hilarious at times.

You were not alone in the Charleston Rental Applicant Hell.

My copy just arrived this week! I’m taking a break from binging MobLand to dive into your new book. Your mother’s writing got me through my 20’s and 30’s - I’m in my mid-70’s now so I want to learn more about you both! P.S. I really enjoy your commentary on Morning Joe!

This is what can happen if we let AI create a Secretary of the Treasury.

Trump: “I am the captain now”

I’m a 74 year old non-violent hippie grandma who would definitely try and land a punch on this annoying buzzing gnat!

Maybe, maybe not? Romans (and Greeks) were very good at creating their own history.
