Sunrise over the beach in southwest Connecticut.

Last sunrise of 2025

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Your health care bill is about to explode.

The notices will start arriving next month.

A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000.

Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up.

We need to fix this. Now.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?"

A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons.

Full moon at the shore this morning.

Full Corn Moon this morning.

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading.

It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

My name is Josh Turek. I'm a two-time Paralympic gold medalist. I'm a proud State Legislator from Council Bluffs who represents the reddest seat held by a Democrat in Iowa.

And I'm the guy who's going to beat Joni Ernst. Repost this, give us a follow, and let’s win together.

Full moon over Long Island Sound.

Full Sturgeon Moon this morning.

There was a time when a U.S. president targeting LGBTQ+ lives by cutting suicide hotlines would've sparked all-out war from Democratic leadership. Outrage...action...accountability.

Like I said—there was a time.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security.

More of this please.

I would like to encourage everyone to contact their Democratic Party senator or representative to ask them if they’ve lost their outrage over a lawless president? Time for the Democratic Party to get off the floor, where Trump left them, and back in the arena!

I haven’t walked this week due to the frigid temperatures but decided to brave it this morning since it was a balmy 15° with no wind. Worth it for this shot with the waning moon.

I’m THRILLED!!! (even if it’s only for 100 days…)

I love the tranquility of the shore in winter.

I’ll take all the help I can get!

I’m going into 2025 with an existential dread for the next 4 years so this mornings sunrise was a welcome bit of beauty.

Happy New Year!

Last sunrise of 2024!

I don’t really post. More of a quiet observer in the background. Just an elder gay trying to stay informed and figure out how to survive the upcoming pandemonium. Not interested in crypto bros or the porn bots that seem to have found me.
