To everyone eating up the sloppy propaganda of the Donny Taliban regime, I want to tell you about my girlfriend who is totally hot but you’ll never meet her cause she goes to a different school. She’s rich and her dad is King of the Firemen.

I was recently reminded again that there is a significant group of people who forget (or choose to) who was President in 2020 during the height of the COVID pandemic. The truth is just so inconvenient for the mythology that has developed since.

One of the reasons we have a judicial system at all is because the court of public opinion is fickle, gullible, and rash. It’s fine to hate people for being douchbags, but being a douchebag is not a crime. It’s very important that remains codified. Our litmus test is understanding why.

The stock market is complete and utter bullshit. All the newly minted armchair economists don’t realize that because they’re just dazzled by the fun little game of it all. It even comes with a bunch of cool jargon. Short! Correction! Buy the dip! Everything is made up and the points don’t matter!

I think it needs to be stated that you don’t have to love Democrats to hate fascists. But it is prudent to collaborate with them given their position. At least those of them with the spine to use it.

Amidst the doom I have to say - seeing the tipping point where resistance goes mainstream happening at Town Halls is so incredibly goddamn American it reminds me there are still some reasons to be proud.

Against this backdrop, and the long and strange relationship between the GOP and MAGA, which has seen loyalty increasingly replace duty, I ask you, as my Representative, and my fellow citizen, these questions…

Senator, With every passing day, every hour, every dense minute in the constant noise, since the Trump Administration took power, there has been chaos, acrimony, division, confusion, petulance, and incompetence wreaking havoc on our civil structure, government function, and international affairs…

Things to keep in mind: - ALWAYS punch up, NEVER punch down. - Don’t feed the trolls. Recognize lost causes and move on. - Every elected public servant works for and is accountable to The People. That’s us.

- Fear is a weapon and no one is immune. Bravery is being afraid and acting nonetheless. - Coalition requires compromise. Trust can be hard. We’re in this together with a common goal. Don’t get distracted.
