Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am talking to the one and only Philippa Gregory about her new novel on #JaneBoleyn - the treacherous Lady Rochford, and asking if she really deserves that reputation.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Powered by greed, lust, hatred and vengaence the religious right steamrolls the rest of the country with little to no pushback. Odd.

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."

That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.
