    Remember to keep your hands inside the car when riding this roller-coaster. Hopefully this is the last major hill and not too many twist and turns afterwards.
    Take care.

    to CAborn, Kaw, and cld...

    in the face of 47, you all make me (ever so slightly) less of a misanthrope

    thank you all

      if you're like many of us now, you are also a misanthrope, not because of any negative nature but due to the hateful rhetoric and behavior of those who are inflicting those on the rest of us - and we see no relief on the horizon.

      They. are the true misanthropes; you and many others may t not hate humankind as much as be dismayed abd distrustful of many of our species- understandably.

      That's another reason I pray for Kevin Drum to survive and thrive not only for Marian, the cats. and his many longtime followers- we need someone who can be outraged by current news, yet respond rationally (and much more civill) than I can, in private or in public.

      It's not only hard to be "bright-sded" in such times, I don't think that it's helpful or even possible.

    Wishing the best for you and your family as you work your way through the puzzle of your illness But as you well know this is a bad disease that is not curable. You've been lucky enough to had wonderful remissions over the past several years...........and now there may not be anything left to do.

    Wishing you well and hoping that you can get rest and that the critical test numbers turn around quickly. So many people are pulling for you!

    Best wishes, Kevin. You have made all of our lives more informed, more righteous, and most of the time, more fun.

    Pulling for you just like everyone else here is, but regardless, thank you for everything, man. You're irreplaceable.

    My prayers that things get better.

    I’ve been reading you for decades and I’m a much better person for it.

    Hoping for the best! You’re my go-to for something interesting to read for 10 years now, and I often read your stuff first thing in the morning. Hang in there!

    Thousands of people are pulling for you. Thank you for everything you have done for us for so many years, with your data driven reality checks that made us all smarter. Please get well!

    Ever since the Calpundit days I’ve been following you religiously, checking your page multiple times during the day. You’re not allowed to do this. You need to get better ASAP.

    Hang in there, Kevin. Get better. I hope that either your doctors or your own system will repair what's needed and get you back on your feet again.

    Three and a half billion years of evolution has produced a lot of backup tricks, most of which we know nothing about.

    Reduce stress, stay strong, and get well.

    WASHINGTON— A nationwide database tracking misconduct by US police officers has been shut down following an order by President Donald Trump.

    A note on the Department of Justice's website states Trump had revoked an executive order signed by former president Joe Biden and the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) would be decommissioned.

    "User agencies can no longer query or add data to the NLEAD. The U.S. Department of Justice is decommissioning the NLEAD in accordance with federal standards."

    Worried about you all over again, & starting to feel downright furious with your medical team. Thinking of you & hoping & praying for the best— fast!!!

  14. dfhoughton

    I know many people who don't comment here are pulling for you. We will all join you in breathing easier when you're feeling better.

    Each day without a post brings more concern, but my continued hope is that there will be better days ahead, despite those worrisome bad numbers. That last upturn is still lower than the number that another reader mentioned as having preceded a turnaround.

    If only the goodwill of so many friends and of jabberwocking could give you strength to overcome this disease, your recovery would be certain.

  16. jmlowenstein

    I’m an infrequent poster but avid reader who just wants you to know you’re appreciated and I’m pulling for you.

    Getting very worried Kevin, hope you can pull it out! Hang in their and keep fighting, the country needs you.
