WELKER: You're talking about Trump protecting Arkansas from drugs, yet he pardoned the former president of Honduras who trafficked more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. How does that make us safer?
COTTON: I haven't spoken to POTUS about that pardon. I have to know more about the circumstances

Highly recommend. This man’s life has nothing to do with mine but I saw myself in it a little as a parent and friend who has to weigh how I center myself in others’ life and how I can better be present because there is no do-over.
In Jay Kelly, Clooney plays an emotionally stunted movie star struggling with work and family life. He can relate: "We're all balancing it. We're never getting it perfect." n.pr/3KxixUK
George Clooney's kids don't care about his success (and that's a good thing)

For @thebaltimorebanner.com I want to talk to Maryland-area folks with front-facing jobs like retail, restaurant, packaging stores, traffic enforcement and others who can be on the wrong end of public frustration. In the holiday season, what do you need from the public in terms of patience?

We keep telling you to keep our names out of your mouths and you don’t listen.
Actor BD Wong, of Jurassic Park & SVU fame, apparently made a racist “joke” on Threads last night. Now he’s crashing into the mentions of everyone calling him out with this weird nonapology copypasta reply. It’s all very gross & disappointing I HATE IT HERE.

I turned in my first complete draft of my novel to my agent for approval and then it goes to the publisher on Thursday. Between now and the October 26 release, a lot of editing and back and forth. But it has a beginning, middle and ending. Yay.

Last year I wrote about "Wicked Part 1" and allyship. I have more thoughts for @thebaltimorebanner.com about #wickedforgood and that subject. Anyone wanna talk for a column? (Maryland preferable!) www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...
‘Wicked’ reminds us that allyship is getting on the dang broom
At the end of the first half of “Wicked,” Elphaba asks her friend Galinda to join her on the broom and fly away to launch a movement. But Galinda can’t. That sounds a lot like real life.

NEW: Trump DOJ once again BUSTED for yet another lie told to a federal judge, this time in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s cases:
DOJ told Judge Xinis Costa Rica wouldn’t take Abrego Garcia & instead he has to be deported to Liberia, with which he has no ties at all.
Turns out, it’s a LIE.

Right wing troll who pretends to live in places he does not is upset with Twitter for revealing his actual location. How's he supposed to con people if it does that? So not fair!!!

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I have recreated from memory my ancestral Streeter macaroni and cheese recipe. I get to stay Black and in the family. It’s very reassuring.

We are being lulled into a sense that generic is Ok. That we should not fight it. Resistance is futile. I’ve been cooking more.
I had that thing today where a place you used to love is suddenly not so good anymore.
It’s been my go-to for awhile. You know this kind of spot. A little happy place bubble.
One day you go and the food is off, the employees are younger/worse, and it’s just not good but it also isn’t *bad*.

My take on Piggygate for @thebaltimorebanner.com . Thanks to all of the brave journalists who spoke to me. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...
The president calling a female reporter ‘piggy’ is not normal. None of this is.
President Trump called a female reporter “piggy” on camera and told her to be quiet. How did we get here, and what’s even the point anymore?

You can be on the right side of one issue and still be unrepentantly wrong on most of the others. Remember that.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."
