Boy, does this commentary resonate! This morning, my spouse and I were each trying to figure out how to get out of index funds that add Space X. And we’re seeing significant price increases in almost everything we buy or do, with no relief in sight. Plus, today is set to break heat records in every area - east coast to west coast - our family members live.

My disdain - and anxiety - at the Kafkaesque reality of being a forced passenger on the deranged Trump-Billionaire-MAGA train line grow daily.

I enjoy your refulgent prose even when the topics are horrifying

Most of us are Forced Passengers of a clown car towing a dumpster fire driven by a demented narcissist. But there are those who welcomed him. How's the ride so far, MAGAts? Tired of winning yet?

Our family, the one I raised, not the ones who raised me, lived in the NY metro area for 30+ years. Do you believe in miracles? Yes! My 42 yr old son is going home for the ticker tape parade, "I owe it to my 9 year old self." So right now I'm smiling.

The billionaires may have bought our great Nation. One wonders how much Space X shares trump bought recently? As long as we're still standing, we'll push back in small ways - GOTV, pay my neighbor's electric bill, send the little Afghan boy I tutor to "summer camp".

Hurry up, Karma! What are you waiting for?!

Dear Don,

The term ‘ceasefire’ means you stop shooting at sh!t. You don’t get to change that meaning.

Sincerely,

My spouse and I are not happy to know that somehow our retirement funds will be helping out Musk. Since I read a lot of history, I think we peons have always had the burden of helping out parasites.

I am excited about the Knicks. But I live in NY, and I am embarrassed about the way people have rioted at the watch party in Bryant Park and elsewhere, and even more shocked and embarrassed at the way people have treated the Spurs outside their Manhattan hotel. I know that it's a small percentage of the people in NY, but shame on you, you are making the greatest city in the world look very bad.

Question - who is calling the shots in Trump's war against Iran? Certainly not the Commander-in-Chief. He's not capable. Don't tell me it's Pete Hegseth. He's a puppet, too. Can't our military refuse to continue bombing?
