The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

My latest campfire dinner while out in my van - rehydrated chicken gumbo (from a small company out in Louisianna), added chicken andouille sausage and bell peppers, with some shrimp i grilled over the fire.
Food always tastes better when camping, but this would have been a good meal anywhere!

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Anyway abolish ice means one thing. Abolish ice. All of it.
And I don’t believe in borders. They are arbitrary lines enforced by violence.
I don’t believe anyone doesn’t belong anywhere & I don’t believe accidents of birth should grant anyone special status anywhere.

When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world.
The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all.
It truly is healing to me.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.
This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
