Most of my career was focused on overpaid CEOs/Income Inequality. Just started a new job w a local Aging in Place program. I tweet social justice, aging, bargains, books, politics, gardens, adoption, humor, hope. Always curious.
How about difficulty sleeping through the night? Does he have that part of aging as well? Or is it just hard for me to sleep because of Trump?

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

One of the problems with excessive CEO pay is that it makes other people think they are entitled to excessive pay. We didn't have these problems in the 1970s for a reason: taxation rates.
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

So it’s now “controversial” to tell people to disobey illegal orders?

Many of us in DC area felt like we were canaries in the coalmine, seeing up front the early DOGE effects. Once "no kings" became a national movement I felt better because in the early spring it felt like others simply weren't aware of how bad things were. We were the loudest canaries we could be.
Sam is right. DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do- hurt poor people, destroyed faith in government, enriched Elon.

During the day I can keep busy & distracted enough to contain the anxiety. But my tired brain lacks the discipline, so these days I am listening to podcasts in the middle of the night. Anyway, looking for more if you have suggestions

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I'm not very good at setting firm boundaries. Right now we have two homeless friends staying with us.
So tonight I'm going through a lot of new follower accounts that don't seem real and hitting "block, block, block." Hope I don't exclude any real neurosurgeons who are just looking for a friend.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Doing repost this morning still have our article 3 at the airport today. Yes they’re probably better ways but this works for me.
In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."
