Itβs my 43rd trip around the sun today.
The last year was a year of deep personal loss, and I feel like it tangibly today.
But motivated by the work ahead.
And as Jonathan mentions below, Iβm deeply grateful for the trust you place in me.
This could get ugly quickly.
War on water.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Sounds familiar.
I canβt believe how stupid everything is
QAnon luminaries say theyβve drafted the Trump βnational emergencyβ declaration to scuttle the midterm elections:
Sherrill: And when people would say to me, βWhy donβt you just do it?β I found that offensive. Because this isnβt his money. This is the peopleβs money. It isnβt his money to leverage for his own personal desires.
Three years late and at 4am, the plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol was finally installed.
In the dark.
With no ceremony to honor the officers.
Republicans are cowards.
Here we go again.

Beshear: We are building affordable housing in rural America. It looks like the average utility bill for each of those houses is going to be about $50 a month because weβre using solar panels. Weβre embracing different parts of green energy in Appalachia.

When did school girls in Iran become our greatest enemy ?
Or that school.
Denver just drew a line in the sandβand itβs a total game-changer.
This morning, Trump rolled out a new, made up job for Kristi Noem, head of βShield of the Americas.β
Noem is essentially getting a paid vacation for the rest of his term to keep her from leaking stories about him.
City Attorney Miko Brown just revealed the legal teeth behind Denver's new resistance plan. This is how you protect a city from federal overreach.

GasBuddy data on diesel prices show the latest 3-, 5-, 6-, and 7-day increases all rank among the largest *ever* recorded.
The Jan 6 plaque has finally been hung at the U.S. Capitol
Happened at 4am
Happened three years late due to politicized foot dragging
Oklahoma!
Senate farmhand Markwayne's been sent to make sure everything's up to date at DHS after a girl who can't say no took things about as far as they could go. But be careful who you dally with in that plane with a fringe on top, or people will say you're in love.

Hegseth: "I only speak American"
There's No Face Like Noem
Wicked Witch of the Midwest Kristi Noem has more shmutz on her face than the Tin Man, and she probably bought ruby slippers with taxpayer money. But we know Stephen Miller is the (grand) wizard behind the curtain and Kristi's only skill is shooting Toto.

I have never been to Iran, served in the military, or worked in foreign relations, but I have playedβand beatenβnearly every Prince of Persia video game. Here are my thoughts on Trump's demand for unconditional surrender... (1/32)
"There is a special providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." - Bismarck
Let's hope so.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent: To ease the temporary gap of oil around the world, we may unsanction other Russian oil.
"There are hundreds of millions of sanctioned barrels of sanctioned crude on the water. And in essence, by unsanctioning them, Treasury can create supply."
