A private client, w/absolutely no online, electronic capabilities, sent typewriter developed notes, with hand written comments in the margins, and asked me to make something of them. And here it is! I am so proud of him. I have to admit, I am pretty proud of myself, as well. It is out on Amazon now.

A Transplant Journey
Followup with Davita today shows his phosphorus is declining again, which is a good thing. Seems the new meds are working. His HgB is stable, so the issue with the bleed has, so far, been corrected......

Narrator: This is fascism.
The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis ) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Maine’s food pantries stare down volunteer shortage
At Neighbor’s Cupboard in Winterport, funding cuts aren’t the biggest challenge. It's keeping volunteers, especially as they get older.

The REPUBLICANS hold the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.

And they are willing to actually shut the entire government down before they will stop cutting medical benefits for Americans or hold a vote on the Epstein Files 😡

THE BALL IS IN THEIR COURT.

I am begging @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov - let it shut down and fight to get what we need when they see you aren't playing the games anymore. You played and lost the last time. LET IT FAIL! They need to know they need ALL OF US to make things work. Not just red hatters.

Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin on American soil just weeks ago. That emboldened Putin, leading to the attacks on Poland right now. It’s not a stretch to say that Donald Trump is fanning the flames of a world war.

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

If Republicans want Democrats to provide votes to fund the Trump administration, they can start by restoring the health care that they ripped away to finance more tax handouts for billionaires.

This fight is about saving health care and lowering costs for millions of Americans.

anyone else finding that when they are trying to be nice and help people grow their audience by connecting with them, suddenly you are inundated with "hey, how are you" "are you single, want to chat" messages? I kind of hoped that wouldn't follow us here.

Which is it, SecScottBessent ? The numbers are great or the numbers are weak? The numbers are fake or the numbers are real? You can't have it both ways. If Trump is correct, don't do the rate cut. www.reuters.com/business/fed...
Fed cut seen near certain after inflation data, Bessent comments
The likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September is now seen near 100% after new data showed U.S. inflation increased at a moderate pace in July and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he thought an aggressive half-point cut was possible given recent weak employment numbers.
