This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication. You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

When I was a 10 year old, skinny, fearful, kid, I discovered that when you’ve been getting bullied, the real problem is the bully…doesn’t fear you…yet. I turned that around. Life has been much better…ever since.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

The unqualified Pete Hegseth fires a Black four-star general with a deep record of service. As if Gen. Charles Brown was just some D.E.I. hire. As if Hegseth is not some white hire, lacking in merit.
