Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME.
Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

One more break: This is the kind of thing where we need more independent or even citizen journalism. CNN and the NYT won't cover something like this. But it's these kinds of stunts that might keep us from fascism.
Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Got a note from my son’s teacher that he’s clowning in class and would be bringing home a behavior contract. Not me in the car rider line, watching my 12yo turn the corner making the holy cross gesture as he walks to my car. Not even Jesus has your back right now, son. Lord. #kids #raisingoodhumans

I hope that people will take the time to read this. There has been a lot of positive economic news in these last four years; over a million jobs and more. This is a nonpartisan plea, it's ok to cheer for America.

Kid throwback. 8years ago.
4yo son, I just picked up from daycare: “Mommy, can I get a #HappyMeal?”
Me: “ABSOLUTELY NO you can NOT! You did not get a good report from Ms. Tiffany today!”
4yo, lowers his eyes and meets mine in the rearview mirror: “Okaaaaay, well can I get a Sad Meal?”
