Murphy: "Let me say that again. The man that my Republican colleagues are about to vote to lead the FBI believes there is irrefutable proof that the agency he is about to lead secretly organized the violent assault on the Capitol. That is bananas. My Republican colleagues know that."

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

From my friend's interview at yesterday's DC protests. "They are killing the checks and balances. I am hoping the judiciary can rise to the challenge. I’m afraid we are starting in the steps of Hitler’s Germany where the leadership is creating lots of law–all of which is unlawful.”

This is absolutely terrifying. Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data, raising alarm at IRS www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Ovarian cancer will, in all likelihood, kill me on its own. But knowing my death will be all but guaranteed because Musk, Trump, RFK, and all the idiots who support them prevented vital cancer research and the potential discovery of a cure is almost too much to bear. #cansky #ovariancancer #cancer

On Valentine's Day, my amazing husband gave me the perfect present. He ran all the errands today so I could have extra rest time. Forget roses and sentimental cards....that's a real profession of a real love.

Decimating medical research, worsening the health of millions, and violating our sacred checks and balances. He hit the trifecta of stupid, dangerous, and illegal decisions.

We are living in the flashback scenes of every dystopian I've read.

And in breaking news, after much debate, I decided to change my opening Wordle word from slate to orate.

There goes any potential cure for my ovarian cancer. There are terribly real consequences to this unlawful destruction of our government and democracy. #cancersky #cansky #coup

One of the worst side effects of #cancer: spending far too many hours on the phone with representatives from health insurance, medical providers, and pharmacy services and no one is able to resolve anything. And, of course, the bills just keep on coming. #cansky #oncsky

I continue to struggle balancing being informed (and therefore stressed and outraged) about our nation's fall into oligarchy and authoritarianism and keeping sane through a media diet. How are others doing it?

I long for the good ole days of reading dystopian novels rather than living in one.

As someone actively fighting #ovariancancer, I'm both horrified and terrified. This could literally seal my fate when chemo and Parp Inhibitors stop being effective, as they do often do for this #cancer. #cancersky #cansky #oncsky #medsky

Having FluA while on chemo is the absolute worst. My white blood cells are exhausted. As is the rest of me. #cancer #cancersky #cansky #flu

Not to whine (although I totally am whining) but if you're getting chemo for cancer and only have one really good week out of every three, it seems completely unfair to suffer through a bad cold during that good week. #cancer #cancersky #oncsky #ovariancancer

Today. Yes, today will be the day I get back to polishing my second novel. Definitely today. Tomorrow at the latest. Absolutely by the end of the week. End of the month for sure. #writing #writingcommunity #author #WIP

Silver linings of cancer: 🦋 No matter how bad I actually look, I'm always told how great how I look. 🦋 "Sorry, I can't" is assumed to be cancer-related and therefore bulletproof. 🦋 You say 'love you' (and hear it said in return) lots more often. #Cancersky #chemo #ovariancancer #cancer #fcancer

When you and your husband are completely stir crazy, snow covers the ground, and it's 25 degrees, you end up at the indoor #golf suite at the North Bethesda Marriott.
