If you buy my book NOW! you will get nothing extra or special as a bonus. Just my gratitude and a promise to apologize much later.

It's a great last gift to give to someone who will have once thought better of you.

As ridiculous and outrageous as these redactions are, they are very effective in further confirming Trump's obvious guilt.

Trump is violating federal law by blocking the release of the Epstein files—denying survivors the accountability they deserve.

By defying our subpoena & now Congress itself, this White House continues to shield powerful abusers and their enablers.

Not that it matters anymore in this fake country, but changing the name of the Kennedy Center is actually illegal.

Asked why no one outside the state of Washington cares enough about its flooded communities that just lost everything they own right before Christmas, today the nation admitted it just kinda assumed the PNW was always living underwater in some sort of giant puddle like that.

Grace Strobel & her friends have a strong #CupOfJoe for President Trump.

“This is not about politics. It’s about human decency.
When you posted the R-word on your social media for the world to see, you showed no human decency.”

Words DO MATTER. Do better.

Donald Trump maliciously mocks the brutal murder of Michele & Rob Reiner, and Republicans don’t bat an eye. But as soon as you quote Charlie Kirk’s views, all hell breaks loose.

My new doctor, whom I’ll probably lose after the insurance goes away, he’s so kind…and then yesterday in my annual exam he suggested perhaps I could read and write only happy stories. Just for awhile. Solid advice that will never be taken under advisement.

Seattle will move forward with its World Cup “Pride Match” on June 26 despite objections from Iran and Egypt over the Pride branding. Both nations asked FIFA to intervene, but local organizers say the plans stand.

If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women.

It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.

My niece has been my truest joy for me to be able to be close to being something like a parent and certainly is more family than family…and for it to be her that gets to first see the book and send me the evidence…what a joy for me. I haven’t even seen one yet.
