When I talk to people about running for Congress, my first Q is “do you want to do the job” - not just do you want to ~be a congressman~ but do you want to do all the things the job requires, like travel, have 2 homes, miss your family, etc. This sad piece reinforces for me why that Q matters.

Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly. www.cjr.org/feature-2/we...

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.
