Liberal, educated, Jewish. Just this cantankerous, old guy who reads.

After more than 20 years, I am still in the madness of love with the woman who married me and love the adult spawn that still rattles about our house at strange hours.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Jeffries: “Nobody who's serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously…I'm not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz, who is woefully unqualified to be in whatever position he holds in the administration. He's a joke. These people are all jokes.”

I'll never forget that this shutdown was about confirming a Congresswoman who would have been THE vote for the Epstein files and they gaslit our asses into a national debate about food assistance

The downfall of any budding fascist regime will never come to fruition due to lying to the opposition.

Seriously, negotiating with sociopaths and domestic terrorists only gives them additional time to craft more pipe bombs.

Look at continuing resolution from March.

Painted tonight instead of sketching and actually pretty pleased. This went from being “the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and made in my entire life” to “oh, oh, this turned out pretty good!” 😂 I love art.

I consider myself a bad human being because, once in the late 1990s, I stayed in my sick bed with a 103°F temperature during a city election with only a school bond issue on the ballot that passed by carrying nearly 70% of the vote.

I don't understand people who don't vote.

If you are one of the people who doesn’t bother to vote in Dem primaries,

consider checking yourself.

We get these soulless corporate Dems because the primary voting base favors this kind of corporate centrist Dem.

So if there is a bill to extend the subsidies is Marjorie Taylor Greene voting for it and will she get the others in GOP who are vulnerable--and there are a bunch--to vote for it, publicly calling them out? And does this mean the House is back and Epstein files released?

Trump will say that now “even the Democrats agree” with him and he was “right all along.” Over a month of brutal pain was inflicted on the American people, and now he’ll claim it was “all the Democrats’ fault” and “they finally came to their senses.”

I had an interaction with a celebrity recently in the streets of Palermo, Sicily, and it sparked so much joy.

It made me remember to look up from my phone, because that’s when the magic happens!
