Donald Trump equals upset and chaos. Yesterday's shooting is part of his violent rhetoric and the hate he spreads. We desperately need a respite from his emotional abuse, but we won't get it until we defeat him soundly in November. Plan accordingly. Find things to comfort yourself with.

Wonder why the White House would have a Parkinson's expert visiting over the last year. Very suspicious stuff

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Yeah because the White House was working on a bill to help those with Parkinson’s disease that was signed this week. This is literal far right disinformation from the New York Times.

To my mind, there's no doubt Biden was coherent last night. He was old, but coherent. George S, on the other hand, asked the same question over and over. I can only assume he didn't get the answer he wanted

Happy Canada Day. I grew up in Detroit. Every year, Detroit and Windsor held fireworks over the river between the two countries some time between July 1 and July 4. It was a neighborly tradition.

The ed board of the Philly Inquirer is infinitely better than the NYT ed board, which is mostly Republicans who pine for the days before Trump. It’s a bad thing that NYT has over 9M subscribers. One thing all of us could do is tell our friends and family that NYT Politics and Opinion are trash.

The Philadelphia Inquirer gets it right. x.com/adambonin/st...

I just got back from my second ever trip to CostCo. OMG. I could not deal. That place is complete chaos. My husband laughed and said he could see me descending in gibbering idiocy by the moment. I’m never going back

Just got back from an author event with Charlie Donlea, who writes thrillers. He gave an early presentation to my writer group and then one open to the public. Both were informative and charming.

“The notion that the Justice Department is simply a political weapon surely comes as something of a surprise to Mr. Biden given that the same department is putting his own son, Hunter, on trial on Monday on federal gun charges.” www.nytimes.com/2024/05/31/u...

Biden Denounces ‘Reckless’ G.O.P. Efforts to Discredit Trump Convictionwww.nytimes.com The president broke his long silence over his predecessor’s legal troubles, calling the New York jury’s guilty verdict vindication for the idea that “no one is above the law.”

It's possible to be too cynical. Who knew?

For folks who want to know about the shoestring reality of indie press, it is often not very promising. My publisher @inspiredquill.bsky.social is very lucky to have such a dedicated director, but many aren't, and in time, we may also not be either. Anything you can buy, or support, helps so much.

If Sen. Rick Scott really wants to relitigate his Medicare scandal as he runs for re-election, we can do that, but it seems like a topic he should want to avoid.

In fact, I'm doing an event at the LA Times Festival of Books on Saturday, followed by a book signing. Come down to the USC campus and say hello!

Will you be making any public appearances while you are out here?
