Dear RFK JR, I heard you want to take away my PTSD meds because you think they’re hazardous to your health. I invite you to do an experiment with me. I’ll stop taking my meds, and on the third day, lock myself in a room with you. If you can stay alive for 24 hours, you can take them from me.

In America we don’t bow to Kings or would be dictators. Today across the country people will actually gather to say NO. They want you to believe resistance is futile, that their power is inevitable. It’s not. History proves that people who stay engaged can change the course of events.

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

‘Since World War ll ended, Europe has been able to stand up to Russia by relying on the US. But now it is confronted by a strongman in the White House, Trump, as well as one in the Kremlin, Putin. Its capacity to withstand both will depend on money, determination, and political unity.’

Musk is firing people who operate the Veterans Crisis Line. One of the most substantial and successful tools to fight veteran suicide today. They literally did a 2014 documentary about it that won an Oscar. Can someone point me to the outrage from the MAGA “we love the troops” crowd?

My life is a story of the difference between a President who works for the people versus a would-be-king who serves only himself. He is not my President. And he isn’t yours either, whether you realize it or not.
