“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way.

Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.

Science works, y'all.

If Democrats push this hard enough, there’s a good chance Trump puts Elon in Gitmo
@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Right now, we have President Elon Musk. And Donald Trump—maybe he's vice president. I guess vice presidents don't do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff. I don't know what you call him, but he is not calling the shots."

CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.

One of Trump’s favorite rhetorical tropes is the notion that America is a "laughing stock" before the world.

The nominations of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Peter Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard to important government offices indicate Trump has shed that concern.

With Trump’s attacks on the press back in the news, just a reminder (especially to younger voters who may not remember) that there were repeated attempts to intimidate journalists during his first term, including his WH decision to seize my press pass. I wrote about it in my book. a.co/d/gfqPCoU

Matt TAibbi, bc he's an incredibly sloppy propagandist, strikes again.

The other day he was sowing conspiracy theories about FISA, which John Cornyn treated as if they weren't make-believe.
