Kaycee and Max just lost their beloved cat Shiichi, their apartment, and … Brandon Kahn needs your support for Helping Kaycee and Max Rebuild After the Fire

When Max was little, he and I both adored Shari Lewis. Shari was amazing, reinventing herself all the time, refusing to give up, and when the puppets fell out of favor, she gueststarred on TV shows, conducted orchestras for children, and performed in Los Vegas, where Lamb Chop got very risque!

I'm tired of asking people if they were home schooled.

While Americans struggle with rising gas prices, groceries, and health care costs… Trump is throwing a corporate-sponsored UFC birthday party on the White House lawn. @booker.senate.gov: "Donald Trump does not care about you or your family."

UFC. Is this the trashiest organization in the United States? I'd definitely rank them in the top 5.

"Two moments seemed to sum up the whole thing: UFC promoter Daniel Cormier tweeting & then deleting apparent DMs from Eric Trump asking him whether any of the fights were rigged, and fighter Josh Hokit capping his win by hollering into a microphone: 'Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?'"🤮👇

I worked for WISHBONE, writing original books starring that Emmy-award winning, wise-cracking pooch who imagines himself in classic literature. New documentary about the franchise! I wrote the Prince & the Pooch, Robinhound Crusoe, and the Haunted Clubhouse www.whatsthestorywishbone.com

What's The Story, Wishbone? | A Feature Length Documentary

A heartfelt documentary exploring the beloved PBS series that introduced classic literature to an entire generation.

Trump is Putin’s puppet, stooge, tool, pawn and a miserable greedy crook making billions, taking American Taxpayers to the cleaners, just like Vladimir Putin does in Russia.

Release all the Epstein Files. Stop that demented monster from taking our money to reward the Traitors of January 6. Every day is a new horror and the blood is on the GOP's hands. #Trumpisatraitorcowardfascistpedophilemoron

Fool that I am, I realize that I don't have a decent mailing list--just emails here, from substack, etc. SO, I am politely asking if you would all be so kind to sign up to my mailing list on my website? (Also, how do other writers consolidate?). www.carolineleavitt.com/contact

He did say before the presidential election, “Vote for me this one time Christians and you’ll never have to vote again, we’re going to fix it so you’ll never have to vote again” Am I the only one who remembers this??

The @supremecourt.bsky.social is the most egregious, corrupt court we've ever had. Puppets of Trump, the felon, the rapist, the lead title in The Epstein Files.

Repubs think you are all stupid. They lie & lie, but you can see with your eyes & feel with your wallet that they are doing nothing for Americans while enriching themselves. Trump has increased his own wealth by billions & is using your money to pay for his vanity projects. VOTE BLUE. #ProudBlue

We cannot afford this man. He never stops taking from us. He’s a con & a thief. I blame the entire GOP for not reining this corruption in. There is not a single working class American that has not been harmed by his disgusting corruption & criminality. It’s a sickness. A plague. #ProudBlue #Onev1

Do not forget the Epstein Files!!
