I have to be honest – I really haven’t been following much about Elon Musk until January of this year. It amazes me that a man with such wealth is so insecure and comparable to an elementary school playground bully.

Vance says he’s a person of faith but every time he opens his mouth he sounds like his God is MAGA.

If people like Greg Abbott and JD Vance would stop trying to shoehorn what they feel should be in the scripture as actually in there, that would be great. I’m fairly certain they haven’t really cracked open in the Bible. Maybe once.

If they take Medicaid, I won’t be able to provide my child with the medical care he needs. They’ve already taken so much from others. Then when my child suffers because of no longer receiving cared they’ll put him in a facility. I can’t say how helpless I feel.

With Paula White returning to the White House, it seems like a good opportunity to remind everyone who she is. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Trump has appointed the tongue-talkin’ carnie act Paula White to run his new, First-Amendment-flouting “White House Faith Office.” She is a ridiculous conwoman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgZv...

Alright, should I start to plan my departure from the country? Or to go “underground”? I have some offers.

I’m trying to find something constructive to say about Trump’s Christian coalition featuring Paula White. I can’t say anything nice.

Everything I do is because I love this planet that we’ve been given, and I love these people that I dwell with. Even when I don’t really appreciate things about them. I hope the grace I try to give to them they can try to give to me.

Trump granting access to a foreign national in Elon Musk is treason, is it not?

My wife just called Fetterman’s office. She said “I better not hear you do something like this again!” in the same tone I’ve heard her use to scold our son.

Since some guy I didn’t elect who is not a citizen of this country can have access to the Treasury, I figure I also can have said access. I’m asking Dave McCormick this afternoon. I’ll report back.

Well, I did it. My Twitter account is dead. I held on because my all time favorite baseball player’s wife followed me out of the blue and even corresponded with me a time or two. Rosie O’Donnell then followed me. Oh well. @rosie.com if you’re here I’m open to chat! You were very helpful.

I feel like if I did what I actually wanted to do, and say what I actually want to say, I would lose things like insurance and income. I feel like we have gotten to the point, and maybe we’ve been there all along, where the status of the wealthy is more important than basic human decency.

Walked into my aunt’s house. Stephen Miller was ranting on Fox News. I kept complaining about him until she shut the TV off and I felt like I did good today.

I feel like Trump watched Flight, which by the way is an excellent film, but his main takeaway was that all black pilots are like Denzel’s character.

Where was the compassion this morning, Mr. President? Not even one hint of thinking about the families that were affected or the lives that were lost. Just blaming all kinds of bogeyman that you’ve concocted.

I think about this headline so often.

So here we go. Pastors talking about the "sin of empathy". This is a dangerous and horrible position. it makes empathy and care look like weakness. It is an attempt to make people of faith think they don't have to care. But they do. One of the key features of Jesus is compassion and empathy.

I just briefly went back to my Twitter account. Please remind me to never do that again.

No surprise, but today Donald Trump and JD Vance looked true Christianity in the face and essentially went, “nah.” Despicable.

Thinking of my Uncle Frankie, who served in World War II. He fed soldiers on naval ships. A few times he saw active combat because he was needed. I’d love to hear his thoughts about Elon’s Nazi salute today…

I’m in a restaurant to pick up subs for lunch. They have the inauguration on. The radio also has Phil Collins on. So I’m really getting into One More Night. Awesome sax solo.
