I’m a late with this post, with nothing to report but a break. I spent a blissful 14 days traveling to the Democratic Republic of Congo and London. London is obviously blissful. But to enjoy the DRC — with its lack of any respect for women, shocking poverty, painfully corrupt government, as well as its unpredictable electricity and running indoor water — one must’ve been tortured by many weeks of “what fresh hell is this,” aka, Trump.

Back to my CNN obsession and constant anxiety this week, well rested and with fresh perspective. I highly recommend this respite from all news Trump. It does a human soul good.
