Had a breakfast burrito yesterday. Today's menu--TACO. It would be amusing if not for the real toll already paid in both lives and money. We've accomplished nothing of substance, at great cost. It's maddening.

Stephen Miller is salivating at the prospect of the US taking Greenland from Denmark. The only word he didn't use in his defense of this imperialist land grab was 'lebensraum.' But the whole 'we deserve to own every asset in our hemisphere' is pretty familiar to students of history.

Last night I watched an 'In Memoriam' reel, with photos of celebrities who died in 2025. Let's also remember the other losses:
USAID
Corp. for Public Broadcasting
Separation of Powers
Separation of Church and State
Competence, fairness, and decency from government officials, starting at the top.

Hey @bloomberg.com --I got a notification from you saying millions of Americans are at risk of paying more for health insurance next year 'with the govt shutdown.' Shutdown isn't the cause of premium increase--it's Dems using the only tool they have to fight it. Please correct or clarify.

We've already reached the 'but Mussolini made the trains run on time' stage. The people cheering the stock market at record highs aren't at the grocery store trying to figure out how to stretch the weekly grocery budget to buy enough food so their kids don't go hungry.

Shooting at a homeless encampment in Minneapolis. 12 injured, 4 critically. Brian Kilmeade still has a job after stating homeless people should be euthanized. I'm disgusted beyond words.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

I’m going to be honest- I don’t know what actions are the best to take to fight against this. But I do know that adverse comments got this postponed so at the very least we can speak out against this ...

100% tariff on chips, except for on those companies he likes (those pretending they'll move manufacturing facilities to the US).

Apparently Roy Cooper is running for Senate. I would have completely missed the announcement but for the 6 fundraising emails and the 'I can't believe he said he prayed' kerfuffle. I sincerely hope he sends Tillis packing, but I'm already suffering from donation fatigue.
