A private client, w/absolutely no online, electronic capabilities, sent typewriter developed notes, with hand written comments in the margins, and asked me to make something of them. And here it is! I am so proud of him. I have to admit, I am pretty proud of myself, as well. It is out on Amazon now.

Can someone please ask Trump where the entrance for the public will be now that he has demolished the original? I'm dying to know how he will answer that. Will we walk through the ballroom?

A Transplant Journey

Followup with Davita today shows his phosphorus is declining again, which is a good thing. Seems the new meds are working. His HgB is stable, so the issue with the bleed has, so far, been corrected......

Narrator: This is fascism.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis
) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Maine’s food pantries stare down volunteer shortage

At Neighbor’s Cupboard in Winterport, funding cuts aren’t the biggest challenge. It's keeping volunteers, especially as they get older.

The REPUBLICANS hold the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.

And they are willing to actually shut the entire government down before they will stop cutting medical benefits for Americans or hold a vote on the Epstein Files 😡

THE BALL IS IN THEIR COURT.

I am begging @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov - let it shut down and fight to get what we need when they see you aren't playing the games anymore. You played and lost the last time. LET IT FAIL! They need to know they need ALL OF US to make things work. Not just red hatters.

Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin on American soil just weeks ago. That emboldened Putin, leading to the attacks on Poland right now. It’s not a stretch to say that Donald Trump is fanning the flames of a world war.
