Do you like a good murder?
So long as you're not the victim.
In my twisty, gritty, contemp adult psych thriller, bodies drop like flies. It's a heady mix of pop culture, elevated pulp fiction, & secrets galore.

For some time, I've posed 5 ways to fight fascism:
3.5% of a population in the streets.
Peeling off 4 people in the Senate or 8 people in the House.
Rescuing GOP from a predictable catastrophe.
Fighting Trump in the courts.
Winning in 2026.
Peeling off is really important.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Typically, the humiliation of a no-bill is that prosecutors could not persuade a *majority* of grand jurors to indict on a relatively low burden of proof.
