I haven’t seen anyone say anything about the family members. I’m not sure Melania would be there at this point, and they could sneak her in, but maybe Eric? Jr. would probably be off somewhere trying to figure out his cut of the inheritance.

Yep, and rotting in the fields. Orchards that depend on immigrant workers to harvest fragile fruit crops like cherries are losing most of their crops (Michigan resident here who lived in the farm area of the state.)

That’s part of the point. If Repubs vote the amendment down it gives a message of supporting the continued coverup of what the files contain. It’s a state level version of the bills several people in US house are introducing.

I think TACO was threatened, but not about Alaska. Remarks by both Fox News reporters and Peter Alexander (NBC) about Leavitt and Witkoff’s demeanor before the “press conference” are telling. Something big happened. I don’t know if I want to know what it was.

I was a doctoral student in 1993. I was in the middle of my NRSA Fellowship when the law was passed. This summary doesn’t even mention that the early research for breast cancer treatment for the most part was conducted in men. (I worked with kids in unrelated research but was quite aware of this!)

He probably is incensed that the research in breast cancer moved from being conducted primarily with male research participants to female. 😒

The problem is that the regime can harass the people who served under Obama, by “investigations” and even bogus lawsuits. Unlike Biden, Obama didn’t know what was coming and didn’t do “pardons” for his admin officials. Comey and McCabe were some of the earliest examples of what they could do.

I think I need to clarify. I was *not* angry about your assessment of how the history would affect sleep. I was/am angry at the circumstances we’re in, and especially the behaviors of most of SCOTUS. No worries about your “safety” advisories!

I often see your letters first on FB, but read them on Substack. Your advice about what to read before bed, or not, is helpful. I have to say that summaries of today’s SCOTUS decision would not have allowed me to sleep if I hadn’t known about it beforehand. I am so angry. But as always, thank you.
