The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

My only comment for now.
Not a question, an appreciation. I was owed a substantial sum when the law recently changed. Instead of coding it as refund, it was coded as overpayment. I made a single call a few months ago. Last week the entire amount appeared in my bank account, thanks to a competent employee doing their job.
Had a lovely family vacation in the murder capital of America.
Gun violence is the number one cause of death of children and teens in America. Not food dyes. Not seed oils. Not vaccines. What is the Trump administration and RFK Jr. going to do about it? #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain
I’ll drive.
Huh. From shaking hands, you say? All my life, I’ve shaken hands palm to palm. Why did no ever have the kindness to tell me I was doing it wrong?
Kash Patel raided John Bolton's house early in the morning of the day we are supposed to get some Epstein files. He also tipped off reporters so they would all cover it all day. Or maybe the Epstein files are in Mrs. Bolton's nightstand
Wait. Isn’t that his signature?
Honored to call her friend.
As always, an insightful 🧵 from YLE My takeaway is #7 - <65 & not high risk but want the Covid-19 vaccine? ⚠️ Consider getting it this week before FDA label changes. What’s "high risk”? 🔗 www.cdc.gov/covid/vaccin... (Will “physical inactivity” still count? Could be an easier way to get the vax?🤷)

This helped me today. Small Kindnesses, by Danusha Laméris
I want to divorce previous moments, get married to this moment, and have a whole new set of babies with it.
Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files. Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office. One side dodges accountability. The other fights for democracy. Repost @djmelodie
Lizzie Fletcher. She holds one of the seats they’re trying to steal.
Haven’t done that, but my home WiFi network is FBI Surveillance Van.
Hmmm. It’s an enigma.
Because Tiny Desk concerts are a threat to, to, I can’t even imagine what?
All of this. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Imagine a different setting. Create a different setting.
Medicaid checks? No such thing. Medicaid, like Medicare, pays directly to the provider. How do these people not know that?
We could win 35 House seats & we need 4. Get to work.

For those asking, Yale recorded a lot of their popular lecture courses and put them online for free. Just faculty doing our thing in a classroom. In front of students. You can find them here: oyc.yale.edu/courses
I’m pretty sure it’s up to kindergarten teachers to get this sorted. If you’ve been following the news, you know that teachers are choosing/changing their students’ genders between circle time and lunch. I did it every day until I retired. And it wasn’t easy with just blunt scissors and glue sticks.
I was there too. Great crowd!
Thousands of people standing together in Boulder. And so many horns honking you can’t even carry on a conversation. #Nokings
I’m not telling anyone how to protest but I am saying the optics of the police and marines being violent against protestors decked out in red white and blue waving American flags would be undeniably bad…
And I’m writing a book about what happens when the person you love most in the world finds out he has cancer and will die soon. And then does.

Voice of experience here. Make a plan now for the first day of school in the fall. Make it something you can look forward to all summer. It gets easier every year, but the first day still hits hard.
On June 14, everyone who wants to continue the sloppy, messy, ice cream sundae that is the American experiment, needs to come out and peacefully defend it. Find the "No Kings" protest near you. Go to. www.mobilize.us/nokings/
New travel plans unlocked!
The price of a single avocado jumped overnight from 69 cents to $2.49. Adios, avocado toast.
Doesn’t matter. He knows his people will believe him despite clear evidence.
So it’s Bring Your Kids to Work Day?
I just recommend DJT be fired for saying he was looking forward to the pope’s funeral.
Anybody? Anybody?
Finished planning a trip through 7 state and national parks for next month. A friend is coming from England to join me. I guess it’s also good news that she hasn’t changed her mind about coming here!
Class of 74. There aren’t enough jellybeans on the planet.
Y'all aren't gonna convince me to be angry at Gretchen Whitmer for going to the White House in good faith to advocate for her constituents and being dragged into nonsense by Trump's notorious bad faith. The Governor has fought tooth and nail for what's right. She has more than earned my trust.
I urge you to send this stat to anyone in your family and friend group that has bought into the moral panic about women's sports. Like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social thehill.com/homenews/lgb...
Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.
300 people in tiny Sugar Land TX, in the rain.
@maddow.msnbc.com 200 people in a suburb outside of Houston.
Ready in Houston, with extra signs to share.

Bringing extras to give away.
We’re ready in Houston.
On the way to make mine now. Protesting with my book club tomorrow.
If only there was something he could do.
We should each buy these books for the teens in our lives.
Mailed 200 postcards from Houston. 🤞
That’s how you show the proper respect.
My book club in Houston is writing postcards for you!
Plan today for the economic blackout tomorrow.
And that’s what they want to prevent. They aren’t even pretending anymore.
It was me! And all my friends!
I painted a room this week and today I get to put it back together and add some cozy new touches. Sadly, I do not have enough rooms to get me through 4 terrifying years.
His followers are saying it for him. I just had someone tell me that being a descendant of holocaust survivors is proof that I’m antisemitic.
This is the dress my aunt wore on the voyage from Eastern Europe to Ellis Island. There were no survivors in the village my family fled. Today, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, let us remember that immigration is a matter of humanity, not politics.
In the tub with a mug of coffee as I read this. Self-care to stay strong for what needs to be done.
HAPPY MLK DAY EVERYONE!!!!! Today we celebrate a TRUE AMERICAN HERO. (And we mock a true American DJT ZERO) #MLKDay
Where my attention will be today.
It’s times like this when I wish I was a drinking woman.
Even if you can’t get pregnant. Someone you love may need them.

That is very cool. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us shlubs.
I can only imagine the terror and uncertainty. Be safe, above all else.

Squirrels come home at dusk. We had our hole repaired in the morning while they were “at work.” We decided to replace all the siding with Hardi-Plank to prevent them from getting in again. It was the right choice for us.
I don’t want Greenland. I don’t want the Panama Canal. I want my Social Security and universal healthcare.
👇🏽🤔 (We don’t know who made this… but 🎯)
And also the inequities of medical debt. Thom’s treatment, unsuccessful though it was, resulted in a single bill for $23. We were privileged not only by the quality of our insurance but also by our connections who instantly arranged for his admission as a research subject.
Oh good! Useless investigations are proven solutions to economic hardship, you know, the price of eggs.

These links are perfect. Your own Senators’ info appears, the letters are written, you add the info your Senators want in correspondence—subject, name and address. Thank you, Scott!
Shout out to libraries 🔥 (Sorry - whisper out)
I’d appreciate a follow.
Delighted to find you here!
