Oh, to have the innocent optimism of a child in spite of it all.

I hope you are right, Anne.

Deleting medical jargon
Writing normal words that aren't weirdly passive and judgmental

You know how people with advanced dementia think it's the past and are calmer when they recreate their former routines?

U.S. officials in coming days are set to hold the government's biggest coal sales in more than a decade. Yet most power plants served by those mines plan to quit burning coal altogether within 10 years, an Associated Press data analysis shows.

Trump is reviving large sales of coal from public lands. Will anyone want it?

I've never done a pull up in my life, but I have to give bad news to parents of sick children almost every day, and that requires strength that Pete and the rest of this administration will never know.

This strength knows the real flex is to fund healthcare.
