The disgraced former mayor of New York, Rudy (I was just tucking in my shirt) Giuliani, has threatened to sue me for defamation over an interview in which I never said his name. No one even mentioned him.

I want to apologize to Rudy. Going forward I will be certain to say his name directly.

Rudy, you worked with known Russian agents and their proxies to spread lies about me and my father. Their names are Andrii Derkach, Konstantin Kulyk, Andriy Telizhenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky and more. Kulyk handed you a dossier filled with disinformation. You flew to Kyiv in December 2019 to sit down with Derkach, then went on television with him to sell his bullshit tapes.

Trump’s own national security adviser warned the White House that what you brought back was Russian disinformation. You kept going.

Then Trump’s own Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, sanctioned Derkach in September 2020 as an active Russian agent for over a decade, for spreading the same lies you are still spitting. Four months later, on his way out the door, Mnuchin sanctioned the rest of your sources. Kulyk. Telizhenko. Dubinsky. Eleven people and four media front companies in all. Not sanctioned by me. Not by my father. By Donald Trump’s Treasury Department.

And remember Vienna Rudy. In October 2019 you, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman had tickets to fly there to collect a hard drive, courtesy of Dmytro Firtash, an indicted oligarch who has spent a decade in Vienna fighting extradition to the United States. Lev and Igor were arrested at Dulles holding one-way tickets. You canceled yours the next morning. That was way before a computer repairman in Wilmington was ever a twinkle in your eye.

So please, @RudyGiuliani. Please, please sue me. Discovery will be a joy for everyone.

Stateside, a gas station. I drank a frozen blue beverage too quickly, and was struck down by a punishment this entire nation knows, and accepts, and has named.

The drink is called a slush. Ice, sweetness, and a blue that does not occur in nature. The day was hot. I was thirsty. I drank like a soldier at a river.

The pain arrived in my skull like a war horn.

Behind the eyes. Above everything. Total. I gripped the roof of my car. I may have made a sound.

"Brain freeze," said the cashier through the door, with no urgency whatsoever.

It has a NAME. The affliction is so common it has a household name, like a cousin.

"Tongue on the roof of your mouth," called a man at the pumps. He did not look over. He prescribed the remedy mid-pump, casually, the way one mentions weather.

I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth. The war horn faded. The healer nodded at his pump, finished, and was gone in a Chevrolet.

In my land, punishment follows crime by way of courts and seasons. Here, the sentence is instant. Drink with greed, and the ice strikes the mind directly. No trial. No appeal. Perfectly fair.

And here is what moves me. EVERYONE has felt it. The cashier. The healer. Children. Elders. An entire nation united by the same small lightning, all taught the same cure, all passing it on to strangers at gas stations, free of charge.

You cannot fully distrust a country once you know it shares one pain.

The freeze does not punish thirst. It punishes haste.

I finished the slush slowly, like a scholar. Blue tongue. Clear mind.

Then at the door I forgot everything, drank deeply, and was struck down again.

"Tongue, hon," said the cashier, without looking up.

Discipline is a journey.

@JeffreyBrandes @Gh4nder Or, the real question is how much they are raising your taxes and making that harder to see because it’s a bunch of individual charges.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but being a child predator is WAY worse than being an undocumented immigrant.

I’m gonna lose some followers for this. And I’m okay with that. Because if you don’t stand for what you believe in. For what you know is right. Then your silence is enabling what you know is wrong. And right now my party is on the wrong side of history.

ICE murdered a man today. They had already taken his gun. Then killed him. And Trump’s response is fucking sickening.

I got my issues with democrats. I believe in small government and lean mostly conservative. I wasn’t a fan of Obama’s politics but damn I respected the man. I didn’t vote for him either time. I didn’t vote for Hillary bc she is crazy. I voted for Donald the first time because even if I thought he was a piece of shit human being. I still voted for my party. In 2020 I didn’t vote for either bc Biden and Trump both sucked. In 2024 I voted Kamala simply bc I didn’t want Trump to win. I wasn’t a fan of her. But I knew she wouldn’t do anything bat shit crazy until 2028 when we could actually get a good Republican candidate.

We need to fix immigration. We need to cut a lot of wasteful spending. What we don’t need is what he has turned ICE into. Trump, Noem, Hegseth, and unfortunately Vance who I was a big fan of at one point. They all need to be held accountable. This shit needs to stop. We need Republican leaders to put country and morals over party and call this out.

And if your response is- I voted for this, or I support this, or that anyone who is against Trump is a communist or pansy or whatever idiotic troll you want to make— fuck you.

I don’t expect to change anyone’s opinion with this post. But this is where I stand.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Dr. Gladys West, the Black mathematician whose brilliance made GPS possible, has passed at 95. Born on a Dinwiddie County farm during the Great Depression, she overcame segregation to become a scientist and map the world—literally. May we never forget her legacy or the path she paved for generations of mathematicians.
