The New York Times produced a detailed, data-driven report on President Trump showing signs of aging. The president, 79, responded by calling the female reporter who co-wrote the story “ugly.” https://cnn.it/48idUFL

This #Thanksgiving, I give thanks for family; my three kids branching out on their own. I give thanks to brave Ukrainians holding the front in Europe against Russian aggression. I give thanks to all those stateside, and around the globe, who continue to fight for democracy. 🕊️

No doubt there is friction when Speaker Johnson daily collides with the Peter Principle. And his greasy fealty to the President does not fully lubricate all the points of friction. Hence, his colleagues grow weary of an incompetent lap dog.

Gratitude is what I feel daily for every detail of my life that manages to hold together as potential for some calamity abounds in this fickle universe.
I don’t know to what provenance, if any, I owe it, but it’s a taking stock of my good luck & the ensuing relief of finding things still in place.
