If the first two words out of your mouth are “Mr. President”… you’re already giving him too much respect.

Hey Chief Justice Roberts—which official act is it when the President threatens to hang lawmakers in his own country?

Arizona set the tone. Now hoping other blue state AG’s will be emboldened to file suits or issue arrest warrants. This is war. Find something. Remember when Texas locked Nicole Collier in the state capitol for nearly 3 days?

The “good guys” need a kickass name for their side in this fight, one that can be inclusive of all people and parties. Otherwise MAGA & media will continue dismissing their opponents as Dems, communists, and antifa. 🤔
“Emancipation Alliance” anyone?

Pam Bondi is so untruthful, she can even lie in her native body language.

Seems to me a literal war on Americans (see Chicago apartment raid) should be eliciting a greater response—not only from the media, but Democratic leadership. Where’s the pushback?

This administration and the GOP Congress being more concerned about the safety and welfare of ICE agents than school children tells you all you need to know about their priorities for America’s future.

So I sold my shares of Disney and NewsCorp, AND published my new novel today…so if tomorrow’s the end of the world as we know it, I feel fine (big nod to R.E.M.).

Comics can longer tell their jokes. Teachers can no longer teach their lessons. And preachers can no longer preach their sermons. 2025 America is an ugly authoritarian state incorporating all the unsavory elements of North Korea, Hungary, and the old Soviet Union.
And it only took eight months.

I’d be shocked if there’s not a book offer on the table for Rep. Nicole Collier in the coming days. Think it would make a fascinating read.

The latest batch of MAGA cowards are repub governors sending “troops” to D.C. for the Faux Energy (probably reported as breaking by Faux News). Where’s this courage and readiness when natural disasters strike other areas of the country? Hint: see Governor Newsom assistance for Puerto Rico.

Some days I wake up determined to push my next book across the finish line, some I wake up gung ho about pushing back against authoritarianism—and then there are others when I say screw it all, and just need to hug my kids and dogs.

The Trump administration has spoken: it’s in our nation’s best interests to replace esteemed Americans leading the fight against cancer & world hunger with former corrections officers, in order to take on a more grave threat—the country’s most notorious dishwashers. lalandscapers.
