Thank you! Who doesn’t like a nice cold Aperol spritz, with a side of fun?

Sometimes even your ‘Blooper Reel’, can make for a fun piece of content!

I’m working on submitting a few video pieces to different outlets and media sites. My instinct is to go polished, but it’s also fun to include something that shows how you work under pressure…

and with humor 😹

Tom Homan on ABC does not deny that the administration's position is they have a right to grab people off the street and deport them without a hearing

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

I’ve restarted my cocktail recipe tests and writing.

- Is it in response to these bonkers times? Maybe.

- Does it give me a sense of control to play chemist with liquor? Yup.

-Are the results delicious? Always.

We could have had universal healthcare if the Republicans rolled over the same way the Democrats are.

Trump is gutting efforts to combat foreign election Interference The administration is undercutting the agency charged with preventing foreign actors from meddling in US elections.

“Every cut made to our election security and foreign malign influence operations is like handing a gift on a silver platter to our foreign adversaries such as Russia, China and Iran."

Slo-mo bubble of a batch of our “standard” bitter orange marmalade, off the heat, jelling point reached and surpassed for a harder set.

This is how it’s done 🔥

Cut off Karoline Leavitt and fact-check in real time.

We heard what Trump said about sending troops to Gaza yesterday! @msnbc.com

More Pavlova Love! I seem to be theme dressing too 😅 Lemon yellow to match the lemon curd!

Oooh! I can’t wait to see that! Are you using a compote, curd, or cream to fill it?

I don’t know about you, but in my day, we were taught that exchanging money for people with other countries was called human trafficking.

Made a beautiful mess of a pavlova today on Great Day Connecticut!

Self comforting with pumpkin pie and port. A strangely delicious combination.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.
