I talk too much and I'm bossy. I'm vegan for the animals. I love cats. I never learned how to cook (my husband is a master in the kitchen). I can make a pretty good cup of tea.

Ordered to lie, fired when he refused.

My thoughts on the 60 Minutes interview of former DOJ attorney turned whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, and why any prosecution in the Trump Regime must be viewed with skepticism, if not outright disgust.

Anyway, what we're talking about is, this is what you wrote about one of the most important legislative achievements since the 1960s, which is responsible for over 40 million Americans currently having health care.

And yet, NYT is somehow paying you to be an economics reporter. This is not normal.

I understand not following politics at 13. I wasn't following politics at 13. Especially since I grew up in a Limbaugh home.

But I have this weird aversion to making myself look like a clown in public, so when I don't know something, I ask the people who do.

And then I shut my mouth and listen.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

IT'S OUR TURN

This is a brilliant analysis on where we landed, and where we to go from here. It's hopeful, and I believe he is right. It's our turn to rebuild America as it was meant to be.

He represents what all Republicans stand for. I hope they are proud.

Ok, but maybe you need to re-work that a bit. Also, you could also acknowledge that the original ACA was gutted by Republicans before it was finally passed, which is partly why it has been a problem for some.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Wow. That was powerful. I admit I switched off 60 Minutes last night because of what looked like a Kushner puff piece. Thank you for posting this so I can share with others.
