Friday Night

I’ve been watching the infighting that is breaking out inside of the Trump camp today and scanning the briefs being filed in the TikTok case in front of the Supreme Court, but I’m trying to stay in holiday mode here just a little bit longer, enjoying the last few precious minutes with our kids, before they return to their own lives.

Even though Donald Trump hasn’t become the president yet, it’s already a daily swamp, and it’s hard to keep it at bay. The crazy will become the new normal if we let it, and of course we can’t. A president’s violation of his oath of office and the trust of the American people, even when predictable, can’t become normalized. There can’t be any looking away or any giving up—the people with the ability and the comfort to look away are precisely the people who have to stay in the fight to protect others and protect the country. I’m preparing for that work ahead of us by soaking in these last hours with family. I hope you’re taking good care of yourself too.

I’ll be back Sunday night with The Week Ahead, but wanted to share this picture with you tonight of Bella, keeping watch over her flock.

We’re in this together,

Joyce
