You’re exactly right Sam, my husband and I cut all contact with most of our family and old friends 10 years ago and what they can’t seem to understand is that it’s not politics, it’s their character, lack of empathy for others. We have no room in our lives for their hate and cruelty. I’m so thankful for you and Adam, your newsletter and our weekly therapy sessions 💙

During yesterday's therapy session, I wished I could have given Sam a giant hug. He was so open and honest with his feelings (as he always is) about the bill passing, and so sweet to keep apologizing for how he wasn't himself as he hyper-vented. I am 100% certain that no one in the session needed nor wanted any apologies from Sam. He spoke from a place of feeling gutted (not unlike our country right now) and we all empathized: Sam spoke for ALL of us. I also thought it was lovely how Adam was so acutely aware of/attentive to Sam's emotions. I really and truly do LOVE you guys and will continue to offer gigantic quantities of thanks to you both for doing so much for so many as you guide us on this journey. The therapy sessions and the newsletter are TRULY our tethers to whatever sanity remains ...

I appreciate you two so much. I'm feeling exactly like Sam today. We are flying our flag upside down. Not celebrating because I feel like our independence is gone.

We'll have some CBD chocolate. Maybe make some Alice B. Toklas brownies.

Tomorrow I'll be back to fighting.

Oh, I refuse to have any friends who support the maggot. I left a long-term friendship (which I wrote about on Medium.com) with a college buddy. She's a real trumper. I told her it wasn't about politics, but about morals, values, and ethics. She didn't get it. A fake Christian. That was back in 2017.

I even stopped talking to my next-door white trash neighbors who think it's okay to cage children. Long story.)

Along with the 'pain' of THE BILL not being felt until

2026, Elections are being 'cancelled. In Miami FL,

Republican mayor and others with term limits adding

one more year to term with Election postpone to 'even

year' 2026 align with Federal election...2025

candidates suing. Purpose is also for current SCOTUS

to 'vote' on Constitutionality...and We The People not to

have a say in 'procedural' stealing of elections.

And Medicaid comes by so many names that people in a lot of states don’t even know that’s what they have.

A side note, I now read the daily newsletter in Sam's accent. :-D
