Things are bad, but Southeastern Pennsylvania is entering peak produce season and I for one am going to appreciate it. Boring old garden peas are bursting with life, and you cannot convince me the berries are better anywhere. Peaches are coming soon!

John Hoffman’s wife threw herself in front of their 20 yr old daughter to protect her from being assassinated by Boelter. Literally threw herself on top of her daughter. This is what it means when you say you’ll take a bullet for your child. And Trump refuses to call Walz.

• Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it...

22 state AG’s just filed a brief blasting Trump’s freeze on foreign aid as unconstitutional. Congress controls the purse, not the President. The freeze didn’t just hurt global health, it cost U.S. jobs, research, and farmers. The case hits court July 7.

Itcan be easy to forget through all of the anger, confusion, fear, etc. that Melissa and Mark Hortman were real people. Their children are now parentless. They had to put their dog down yesterday after it was also shot by the MAGA terrorist. The Hoffman family is also suffering today. ❤️
