Retired news and magazine editor, reporter and photographer; political communications coordinator; graphic artist and strong union advocate. Expect some satire, some wit, some snark and truth.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J) has not cast a vote in nearly three months. He has not appeared at a public event in his district. He has not held a town hall, attended a committee hearing or stepped onto the House floor.

He hasn’t been seen in Congress for months. Now Republicans are worried.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr.’s New Jersey district is among the country’s most competitive, and his absence from the House since March has sparked increasing alarm in his party.

Tonight might be a good time to read over the lyrics of the Barry McGuire song, "Eve of Destruction." The song recorded 61 years ago still ring true.

A brave reporter should ask Trump now what he wants for his birthday because, you know, it will takes months of planning and millions of dollars to create another spectacularly boring event. But what if he says all he wants is thermo-nuclear war.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

I keep seeing stories about MAGA voters who are appalled by the actions of the Trump/Musk presidency and wish they had their votes back. Now they can repent.

Happy Pi Day! My seventh grade teacher taught us the easiest way to remember the value of Pi -- 3.1415926. Try this: "Gee. I want a drink alcoholic of course." I learned that 65 years ago.

All those in favor of building a dome over the White House and sucking all the air out, form a double line all the way across the country.

The AP Stylebook has been published since 1953. No president has complained about it, except Trump. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles says she has read the AP Stylebook (evidently nothing better to do since it's 524 pages). Her conclusion is the stylebook has been "weaponized." Alert Hegseth!

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

IS THIS JUST A COINCIDENCE? The first two initials for Trump and Vance are exact opposites! Both have five letters in their last name! Both got their jobs by having to kiss the butts of someone higher up the food chain!
