Apple Mail continues to be the worst email app for performing the basic task of ... searching one's inbox. When I search for nearly any term, it just does this endlessly and never returns any results.
Trump and Noem took resources away from critical DHS programs to boost ICE’s terror in our communities. At House Democrats' Minnesota hearing, I spoke with Mendota Heights Police Chief Kelly McCarthy on how this was never about safety.

This is where most people get it wrong. They stay busy, but nothing really moves. The problem isn’t the effort, it’s the direction. There’s a simple way to cut through the noise and focus on what actually drives results. #HedgehogPrinciple #InnovativeSmile #OrangeCarrotMedia
Trump's EPA just repealed the Endangerment Finding. That was the legal basis for ALL federal greenhouse gas regulation. Then he ordered the Pentagon to buy coal. It's not a policy. It's a bailout. #EPAEndangermentFinding #FollowTheMoney #CoalBailout #ClimateRegulation #RenewableEnergy #EPA

Fireworks exploding over the Mediterranean... celebrating a doctor from 1,700 years ago. Just witnessed Ravello's Festival of St. Pantaleone, an entire town honouring a physician-martyr while our junior doctors strike for basic recognition. Running a healthcare agency, the irony wasn't lost on me.
Today, #Ukraine commemorates the #Chornobyl catastrophe. In April 1986, any mention of the disaster was quickly suppressed by Moscow. People paid with their lives for the delayed response. In february 2025, a russian drone struck the anti-radiation shield over the reactor unit 4. 📹

The General Assembly is busy debating congressional maps and playing political games. Meanwhile, 52 miles of pipeline are about to cut straight thru Marion, Hendricks, Boone, and Hamilton counties. Trees gone. Yards dug up. Eminent domain on the table. And almost nobody is talking about it. I am.
