Nothing is illegal if you control the judiciary…
The people who want to pack the Supreme Court are the actual threat to our democracy.

In life, I struggle, I suffer, I’m tempted, I’m tested, sometimes I feel so weak. But when I am weak, I am strong. Because Christ, He is my hope, He is my strength, He is a firm foundation that never fails. Jesus is worthy of it all. May He be glorified always, not just on the mountain tops, but even in the valleys.
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.”
Psalms 62:5, 8

Good morning from Andrews airbase outside Washington D.C. We are about three dozen passengers headed to Guantánamo Bay, a few of us bound for next week’s pretrial hearings in the USS Cole case. The judge, lawyers, support staff are already there. nytimes.com/article/uss-cole…

Watch what they do not what they say…
Charlie Scharf, CEO of Wells Fargo:
“While economic uncertainty exists and consumer sentiment remains mixed, our data shows that our consumer and business customers are doing well.
Consumers are spending more, loan delinquencies are low, and deposit and investment balances have grown. Businesses continue to have strong balance sheets and losses remain low. While higher interest rates, higher oil prices and persistent inflation create risks to the economy, strong positive forces such as the investment in AI infrastructure, high employment levels and consistent wage growth continue to outweigh the risks.”

.@realmikefox is one of the best people I know. He has always been this way, since the day I met him. Clever, funny, sarcastic, loyal, wicked smart, tireless, and fun. He doesn’t want pity. If you take anything from seeing him inside this body-that-has-other-ideas, remember what he once told me. “I got dealt a pretty good card hand. This was just in there.” He’s the same guy he ever was.
Love you forever, my brother Mike.

Incredible performance from my pal John of his hit song Superman. 25 years ago, he performed the song at the Concert for New York City. The concert raised 35 million for families and first responders directly impacted by the terrorist attack in NYC. Never Forget.
Under the glow of the Tribute in Light, @JohnOndrasik performed “Superman,” a song that has come to symbolize courage, sacrifice, and the strength to carry on.
His performance was part of a night of music and remembrance marking 25 years since 9/11, bringing together artists, survivors, families, and people across the country to reflect on the lives and legacies of those we lost. As the beams illuminated the New York City skyline, Ondrasik joined Cyndi Lauper and Lainey Wilson in a powerful evening of reflection, honoring the sacrifice, resilience, and service that continue to shape how we remember September 11.
“9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan,” presented by ABC News in partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
Twenty-five years later, the promise to never forget remains as important as ever. Support the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and help carry these stories forward for generations to come. Every gift to The Never Forget Fund will be matched dollar for dollar by @MikeBloomberg, up to $25 million. Support at neverforget.org

Not-for-profit hospitals currently hold $2.2 to $2.5 trillion in total assets, of which roughly $750 billion to $900 billion is cash and investments.
Communities across America lose ~$8 to $14 billion per year in property taxes; and the federal government loses ~$12 to $18 billion per year in corporate income taxes.
Of course local communities and states miss out on tens of billions of dollars in sales taxes as well.
Kaiser - alone - is sitting on ~$73B in cash and investments.
Those private jets don’t fuel themselves and those stadium suites are very expensive!

Want more affordable homes? Then we need more on the market.
The capital-gains exclusion on home sales hasn’t changed since 1997. Its value has thus been cut in half, discouraging homeowners from selling. Fewer homes mean higher prices and fewer choices for buyers.
