That mark looks similar to ones that have appeared on my hands. I'm 85, and my doctor told me they're the result of my skin's aging. I'm no spring chicken, and neither is Dreckmeister.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

@meidastouch.com World War II didn't end with Japan's surrender. It ended officially on December 31, 1946, when President Truman issued a proclamation:

I call the current incompetent criminal now occupying the White House "Dreckmeister." Someone has described the #2 incompetent as "Just Dance Vance." We need to create nicknames for all the MAGAts holding public office. I'd like to start with one for the attorney general: "Bondage."

Slavery was bad.

This is theft. Full stop.

Stealing library books is an act of censorship that encourages and normalizes criminal activity targeting public property. By removing books to silence voices and viewpoints, these individuals seek to indoctrinate and harm young readers. https://bit.ly/3HHERcK

Night night sweet dreamies

Be gentle with yourself.
Look in the mirror and say:
I love you.
I respect you.
I love who you’ve grown to be

Love who you are
Be proud of you
Always

PETITION: Don't Ban Books in the United States Proposed censorship measures in several states could deny your right to read some books in our Nation's libraries and lead to librarians facing criminal charges for the books on the shelves.

What do you mean the nearest McDonald's is 20 miles away?! Isn't Scotland the home of McDonald's?!"

LOOK OVER THERE! A tale told by felons, full of treason and tantrums, signifying absolutely nothing.

That’s the game now. The official MAGA strategy is Scandal Whac-A-Mole for the convicted felon, business fraud, grifter-in-chief. Every time a real one pops up—like, say, a decades-long relationship with a sex trafficker who belonged on Interpol’s holiday card…

Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel spent $15 million helping JD Vance win a U.S. Senate seat.

That investment is clearly continuing to pay off.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to the top.

Monsieur le Président Macron va rentrer chez lui et puis chercher à adopter un chaton ou un chat. Il a bien vu l'importance d'un chat au sein de pouvoir...

Of course, he's clever. That's part of the Cat Job Description! 😽

I'm a fellow Dodger fan (see my photo). In 2000, they chose me as Truest of the Blue. The picture is from the Dodger Dugout Experience at Blue Heaven on Earth, with two of my favorite Dodgers, Justin Turner and Max Muncy.

I enjoyed your July 1 column in the New Republic. I spent half of my junior year and all of my senior year of high school, nearly 70 years ago, in Las Vegas, NV. Every assembly and pep rally began with prayers -- Christian prayers. I'm Jewish, and was offended.

Love the Planet, Use the Library Lower your carbon footprint one check out at a time

Library books are used and returned for the next reader, making them a sustainable resource for environmentally conscious bibliophiles.

I shop at Amazon only because it's the sole source of accessories for my smartphone. When my current order arrives, I will close my account.

I read your column today. It will be one of the things I'll miss. I bit the bullet and cancelled my subscription. Your publisher is ignorant of the journalistic ethics I learned in junior high more than 70 years ago. IMNSHO, the Times is now a paper most high schools would be ashamed of.

How do you know when Faux News is lying? Whenever they're on the air. Good luck, Gavin, in stopping their lies! I live in California.
