    1. This is 65th day tweeting about driving out a kid with epilepsy. I will not stop until they apologize. The time has come to explain, why am I doing this? The kid & his family don't want to sue or return 2 ND. So is this about him or more?...

  2. More reader reviews of my book A MIND UNRAVELED. It's a memoir about living with intractable epilepsy, which NY Times calls "remarkable," New Yorker calls "poignant," People calls "inspiring" and Oprah calls "a book to be thankful for." Links to buy here:

  3. If you believe that any criticism of something a female politician does is, in and of itself, sexist, please unfollow me. I criticize male politicians, I criticize female politicians. I will not create different standards of analysis based on gender.

  4. Shutdowns are never appropriate. If politicians can't do their damned jobs, if they think extortion is a legitimate element of political debate, they should go home.

  5. ...and everyone coming on to comment is arguing that this is still sexist. Because...reasons. Somehow, applying consistent principals is discriminatory. This is why we lose.

  6. GOP on health care: Pay doctors with chickens. GOP on federal employees: Cut the grass for your landlord. GOP on corporate donors: "Here, have some tax cuts AND subsidies AND power AND control of regulations. Poor, poor suffering corporations."

  7. To be clear: I criticize decisions, actions and failures. If you see my criticism solely through the prism of whether I am talking about a man or a woman - and have a different opinion depending on which it is - then YOU are sexist. My standards dont change depending on gender.

  8. Gee, for some reason, TSA employees who have been ordered to work without pay are starting to call in sick in mass numbers. That means lots of chaos at airports. Will GOP ever figure out no one will work for free long-term? When the planes are grounded, maybe they will get it.

  9. Self satisfaction is the enemy of success. Success is a long game, self-satisfaction is often flippant and poorly thought out. If you fight to feel good about yourself, or to poke a stick into political opponents, you lose. Fight to win.

    Maybe McConnell should wake up before Trump drives the party and the country into a ditch

    Trump is rambling incoherently as usual in the Rose Garden, while being insulting, rude, and sexist as usual and says the could go on months, maybe a year. Meanwhile, Pence and Trump appointees are getting raises while federal workers are losing homes.

  12. It is almost beyond comprehension that we have a president who does not understand the difference between revenue of private industry and government expenditures. No, Mr. President - trade among companies will not pay for the wall. This is the dumbest man to ever be president.

  13. People were wandering through the White House when no tours because of shutdown? Just like the people calling him when the switchboard was off. GOD this man lies.

    Undo
  14. The shutdown will never stop unless GOP senate votes on package they already passed. This is about Trump's ego. He never caves on his ego. The fact that they have nowhere to spend $5 bill & arent through preliminary analysis (with $1 bill in hand) shows this is not about policy.

  16. Trump vowed to keep the government shut down for 'months or even years': Schumer

    2/3. When I returned from two-week FMLA leave at this HHS agency, I'd found out my replacement was hired, and they kept me to train her then threw me out. Among other occurrences, a mgr had told me, "ppl who work at --- have to drive. That's part of working at --".(they don't)..

    1/3 Yup. I'm an attorney w/ epilepsy and I was working for a certain agency under the fed. Dept. of *Health & Human Services* and was demoted & fired soon after I disclosed my epilepsy for FMLA leave and b/c I couldn't drive to meetings after I had my first seizure in 10 years...

  19. 21..live his life thinking hes alone, with no way to fight back. I'll continue this war on , either so they can serve as an example of how to fix things, or to communicate to every institution -if drive out people w/ epilepsy, I could show up at your door with war. Done

  20. 20...ND, to explain what they did wrong, to make sure this never happens to another kid with epilepsy. That is all James and his family want - to protect the next kid who might be driven out because of ignorance or discrimination. But ND has yet to accept. James will not....
