On Monday morning, I head to Matera, Italy, for another round of brainstorming new book ideas. I'm thinking of returning to a stalled book – I've got around 250 pages of it written, but I think I overcomplicated the storyline...and I can't figure out where to go.

For the second year in a row, WCK is partnering with the community of Tarasivka in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region to cultivate a half-hectare community field—growing potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, and cabbage. WCK provides the seeds, seedlings, fertilizer, and crop protection supplies. Come autumn, the harvest goes directly to approximately 230 families living in the community as vegetable kits.
This is what empowering communities to care for themselves looks like: local hands growing food that travels from the field to the families who need it most. #ChefsForUkraine

#InvictusSpirit Awards presented by @ATCO.

Trump: the Kennedy Center "was losing hundreds of millions" before I got involved.

Reality: $40.7M surplus in FY2024.

Since he took over: $23M projected deficit.

He's not saving the Kennedy Center. He's the reason it needs saving. And he wants "recognition" for it.

Dear @mariashriver, @Kennedy_HRC, @KerryKennedyRFK

STAND UP to this.

GATHER the entire KENNEDY FAMILY (except RFK JR) and speak in front of the Kennedy Center and call out this horrific ABUSE OF POWER by Trump.

Ken Paxton and the State of Texas Murdered Tierra Walker

Tierra Walker asked to live.

That is the sentence that should have been enough. She was 37, a mother, a wife, a daughter who took care of her own mother, a woman who worked three kinds of jobs and still made a life. The pregnancy was wanted. She said so. She also said, as the seizures came and the clots formed and her blood pressure tried to kill her, that she did not think she would survive it. She had already lost twins to preeclampsia. She knew the shape of this disease. She asked doctors to end the pregnancy so she could stay on earth for the son who still needed her.

They told her the baby was fine.

The baby was 20 weeks old and could not live outside her body. She could. Preeclampsia does not care about anyone's politics. Its treatment is not a debate club. The treatment is delivery. At that gestation, delivery is an abortion. In a functioning hospital in a functioning country, that is called emergency medicine. In Texas it had been recoded as a risk to the doctor's license, liberty, and future. So they wrote notes. They said she was at high risk of deterioration and death. They treated the number on the cuff and sent the woman home.

On December 30, 2024, her son found her lifeless on his birthday.

Do not look away from that. Do not sand it into "a complicated case." A child should not become an orphan because grown professionals were more afraid of Ken Paxton than of a mother dying in her own bed. Paxton did not have to hold the discharge papers. He helped build the machine that made discharge the coward's safest option: a near-total ban, a paper-thin exception, penalties savage enough to teach every obstetrician in the state that hesitation is cheaper than courage. The GOP took the power Dobbs handed them and used it to drag emergency care backward — not to the era before ultrasound, but to the era when a pregnant woman's life was negotiable.

Tierra Walker was not collateral. She was the point at which a slogan met a body. She was smart and tired and specific. She named the thing that would kill her and asked for the only treatment that stops it. They had magnesium. They had antihypertensives. They had an operating room. What they did not have was the will to treat her as the patient and human being.

Her family has now done the last thing a family should have to do. They filed suit to prove what any honest clinician already knows: a woman who can still be saved is not a vessel you get to gamble with.

Tierra Walker told them exactly what was coming. She was right — and if not for Ken Paxton and the State of Texas, she would still be alive.

A food kit might seem simple, but it can make a world of difference to a child in Gaza. This week, WCK delivered food kits along with treats like juice and biscuits to children at hospitals. The food will help fuel their recovery, but it will do something else that’s just as important: bring them a moment of hope, joy, and comfort. #ChefsForGaza

NEW: Top things to know from the whistleblower disclosure I received:

-Officers allegedly told to break state law thousands of times
-Lie to access voter information
- U.S. citizens swept up
-Compiled with bad data aka “supplemental magic”

THIS MUST STOP NOW.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

BREAKING: A whistleblower came to my office alleging the Trump Administration is directing federal officers to break state law in its hunt for “evidence” for Trump’s baseless voter fraud claims, including lying to access sensitive voter information and fabricating law enforcement records against U.S. citizens.

This is happening weeks before the midterms. DHS must shut it down. NOW.
