Find excellent interview by Heather Cox Richardson with Gov. Newsom. He says people are cussing more these days.

It's absolutely warranted and needed. Lead on Sam and Adam!

I didn't see Murkowski with her constituents cheering for Ukraine. Checking with Susan Collins on what to do?

Thank you for the laughs today. Really needed after reading the newsletter and seeing the full on fascisness (is that a word?) in Amerikkka. Holy cow! The patriotic, family values, country first, constitution loving, party's full embrace of Putin and full on embrace of policing the streets of Amerikkka. Wow, wow, wow. And how about Anchorage? LOVE it. On your decision for the twice weekly therapy session - I'm good with whatever you two decide is best. Love you two!

I was "this close" to calling today a FTS day. Then I read TBS and literally felt a shift that had me starting to feel true drops of JOY. A huge impact was how Newsom spoke to the "reporter" (I use the term loosely) who asked him about his "trolling the president." I watched that clip several times for how it impacted me - someone speaking the effing truth about the double standards as applied to the POtuS. Newsom spoke calmly and intelligently and I guess I was just on that razor's edge of it being precisely what my very weary spirit needed. A pure drop of joy.

"The wig is what makes this art." = SO perfect for the kid, the red wig, and his sign. Laughter became another drop of joy!

Then the video of the folks in Alaska ... drop, drop, drop.

Other: The Seth Cotlar post left me unsettled and very angry.

Last: Adam beat himself up WAY too much over the little glitch with yesterday's therapy session. There was no need to apologize. It was a great session, for sure! LOVE YOU GUYS.

What will Trumpedo do today to distract from his name in the Trumpedo Files? Don’t attack populists - outflank them. See “Outflanking Populism - a Manifesto to Inspire Trust, Create Hope, and Demand Immediate Positive Change” by George Evans. UK-centric but the message applies everywhere. On Amazon

Yes - I was in favour of Trusk for a long time but when all this came out, it was the right insult!

Note: The best part of this is that TWO grand juries refused to charge him with any crime at all. He'll probably sue for false arrest. I sure as hell would.

.....

Note four: 38? That HIGH? Man, there are a lot of cultists out there.

.....

Note five: Nazis gonna brag about being Nazis.

.....

Note seven: I don't care what Republicans said way back when; those guys are gone and these guys are just fucking liars. If you listen to what they say and think the exact opposite, you'll know the truth.

.....

Note nine: The guy is responsible for killing 83 kids in Samoa. Nothing he can say or do could be close to that, until he makes vaccines illegal.

.....

Note ten: I'm not all that thrilled by Gavin Newsom, but, right now HE IS THE MASTER and Democrats in Congress should be FLOCKING to this woman's side to learn how to sling shit properly! https://www.comstocksmag.com/article/young-professionals-camille-zapata

.....

Note thirteen: Someone buy that pub a round for me!

.....

Note sixteen: I can't wait to read the discovery!

.....

Note eighteen: Crazy isn't confined to Republicans. But if he's calling himself Superman, where's his fucking cape?

.....

Surrender day: Just wondering how Putin gets the Cheeto dust off of his crotch.

.....

Go, Gavin, Go: Why wait until November?

.....

We should bring back the good ol' pie in the face. It was good enough for Anita Bryant, so that should be more than good enough for Sarah Gonzales.

.....

Pete Hegseth is a brainless drunk, and if he weren't in charge of the Pentagon, we'd all still be laughing at him.
