Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

This doesn't eliminate the pain. But hopefully it gives you a little space to process it, and then down the road, to work your way beyond it.

and repeat all this until you start to feel calmer. And then repeat the whole thing as needed as the pain recurs.

3) Finally - say out loud - even if you don't believe it at the moment - I *WILL* be okay - with as much conviction as you can muster

2) Find a timeframe that you believe in - could be a year, could be 5 years - what's important is that there is SOME TIME at which you can say out loud - in ____ months, I will NOT be feeling this way. And say it out loud.

I am very sorry for your grief and your pain.

In case it helps, something I remember from a very different context:

1) First, acknowledge that you hurt and it makes TOTAL SENSE that you hurt and are in pain. There's nothing to apologize for or deny

Bessent says the Trump admin may now lift sanctions on even more Russian oil to try and reduce oil prices during Trump’s war. This would provide a massive injection of cash to fund Putin’s war machine.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
