I just needed a reminder of when our President and First Lady were educated, elegant, and classy, instead of the circus we currently have. 🎪 🤡

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Manipulators aren’t smart... they’re repetitive.

Same tricks, new victims.
The moment you see the pattern, they panic, disappear or gaslight harder.

Because that’s all they have.

BREAKING: I just signed the bill to extend postpartum coverage for Wisconsin moms from a lousy 60 days to one full year after giving birth.

I promised I'd never stop fighting to make sure moms and babies had the postpartum care they need, and today, I delivered on that promise.

JD Vance changed his name, his religion, and his entire political ideology to become the exact avatar his billionaire backer Peter Thiel required.

When a politician reinvents their identity to serve an oligarch, they are an asset.

Otto Kernberg explains narcissistic personality disorder as a defense mechanism:

Kernberg is a 96-year-old Austrian-born American psychoanalyst, professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, and the most-cited psychoanalyst in the world. His work helped shape how narcissistic personality disorder is defined in the DSM.

He describes narcissistic personality disorder as one of the severe personality disorders—but one that operates differently from the others.

Beneath the surface, these individuals have a borderline personality organization: a fragmented self-concept, unstable views of others, and an internal struggle between idealized and persecutory experiences.

But rather than live in that chaos, they construct what Kernberg calls a "pathological grandiose self."

"It is constituted by a combination of ideal aspects of the self, ideal aspects of others that have been incorporated as if one possessed them, and ideal aspirations of the self as if one had achieved them."

In other words, the person absorbs the qualities they admire in others and treats their own aspirations as already achieved—building an internal world of grandiosity and self-sufficiency.

The cost? Everyone else gets devalued.

"Others are devalued; 'we don't need them, we are fine, I'm just great by myself, I don't need anybody else.'"

Kernberg explains that the outside world then gets divided into three categories: depreciated, worthless people; those who are great and must be admired so their qualities can be absorbed; and potential enemies who must be fought off.

This structure creates an illusion of stability. On the surface, the person appears integrated and secure—far more composed than others with severe personality disorders. But underneath the self-satisfaction and grandiosity lies "an incapacity to love others, and an internal sense of grandiosity and emptiness at the same time."

There is no genuine mutuality in their relationships. They need admiration constantly but cannot reciprocate.

In therapy, this dynamic plays out directly with the therapist. Kernberg describes a long-term power struggle:

"They have to show their superiority to the therapist and keep themselves superior to the therapist because the only alternative is then if they would need the therapist, it means that the therapist is superior to them and they would feel immediately inferiorized and humiliated."

The therapeutic work involves gradually clarifying and resolving this superiority-inferiority battle, which then reveals what was always underneath: "the underlying borderline structure against which the narcissistic structure was a defense"—the severe splits between idealized and persecutory relationships that the grandiose self was built to hide.

The narcissistic personality, in Kernberg's framework, is not the core problem. It is the solution the psyche constructed to avoid an even more painful one.

🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.

That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests.

Release everything. Let the truth come out. Or RESIGN!
