I love to grow flowers from seed.

I would just like to reiterate that if Eric Swalwell and his attorney believe any statements that my wife and I have made are not true, he should sue us immediately. He can DM me, and I’ll let him know where to serve us. But this will never happen.

No ORD means no independent research. No chemical risk assessments. No scientific firewall between industry lobbyists and federal health policy. They’re not just cutting jobs. They’re cutting the part of the EPA that tells us the truth.

This was always the outcome - rightly or wrongly, they feel like they “won”

They now know they can hijack the global economy via the Strait of Hormuz.

They assess a mine clearing operation would be costly for the US. We’ll have to prove them wrong or deal with emboldened Iran.

The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden.

You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Just a shout to @allysammarco.bsky.social. I am so proud of you and love you. Many thought their story was an isolated incident until they started learning about others. You put your name, credibility, and career on the record in hopes it would allow others to do the same or stop another victim ❤️

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.
