We are so grateful for all you do. Endless thanks!!

Absolutely! Don’t let the job kill you; everything you do is incredibly important, but please take time for yourself, and I seriously mean time out of *every day*! There are doctors (surgeons, ER doctors, et cetera) and RNs who work 12+ hour shifts, but they have mandatory breaks/time off to rest and recover. Same for all very crucial workers (pilots, for example), they all have forced time off to recover. We all love the work you do, but if you don’t give enough time for you, we may not have you at some point! I don’t mean to sound rude or patronizing, I just want to add a perspective to think about (personally knowing many doctors, pilots, nurses, etc.). Basically, take care of *yourself* in the same way that you take care of all of us! Be well, and thank you for your incredible passion!

Please take care of yourself. Take time to program in at least 30 minutes of meditation, yoga or tai chi. Hire a personal teacher for these endeavors, someone to help keep you on track. Again, take the time to nourish yourself. We cannot afford to have you burn out!

That is exactly what I wanted to share. I second that emotion!

I'm all in with this sentiment! Aaron, I so admire and respect you--your integrity and your drive! We couldn't have anyone better giving us the information we need and fighting with us, day after day, and, when necessary, hour after hour. You keep me going day after day. Thank you!

Aaron, you are an excellent reporter and we certainly appreciate what you do. Take care.

Please rest, refocus. You are important to history. You make this Jewish mother, incredibly proud.

Bassehound's avatar

Refocus on no sides like true reporters do.

Schmendryck's avatar

Somehow I think your sarcasm is a bit too subtle.

Bassehound's avatar

Sadly there is no reporting here that is not sided. True reporters report without bias.

Schmendryck's avatar

Sadly both sidesism has been a bane both to the mainstream media and to society in general while real bias has been a benefit to one side far more than the other. Bring back a robust Fairness Doctrine if you want to see your concern addressed, but you can bet that most legislators and that most biased side of the media would be lobbying against it the minute it was suggested. In fact most of them would be bankrupted by it, which frankly I think wouldn't be a bad thing.

Anyone thinking journalists are, ever were, or ought to be neutral in reportage ignores the history of journalism and influence of editors. We are all products of our time and passions or never would have entered the profession. Devoted to facts, absolutely; devotion to being “Fair and Balanced” is absurd and unrealistic.

Bassehound's avatar

Copy, ignore not all journalists are part of the corp world. There have been some and Aaron has in part suggested giving just the facts mam so to speak. Yep chosen and sided facts. Rather be “unrealistic” as suggested rather than be part of caved world. Long gone is ai allowed to even utter the thought of questioning. Just be part of one crowd or the other to fit in the division world.

Stop telling him what to do!

Bassehound's avatar

Lol, bow at an altar or shut up.

DAVID SCHULZ's avatar

Better yet, do it yourself: you are obviously articulate and have the time to respond to posters … now is the time to lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Bassehound's avatar

Ah, bow at the altar or off with one who does not. Today’s massive limited thinking only allowed.

DAVID SCHULZ's avatar

Damn, that mute button is great - probably passive aggressive but better than blocking. This is facilitating the Lead Follow or Get out of the Thread version.

DAVID SCHULZ's avatar

Oy. i’m kvelling with joy that we have such a Mishpocha I could just plotz!

Not just tribe members and lands folk, we’re much more diverse, but anyone without the type of goyishe kopf reigning at theMuskSewer.

They are absolutely flooding the zone. My entire platform became political overnight because it had to. Today, I’m just excited that Zohran won and Trump is losing his shit over it. I leave for Colombia in the morning. Enjoy your night off!

Kathey Hunt's avatar

Safe travels to you, and an enjoyable trip. 🫶🏽 I have relatives from that beautiful country.

ShutUpTiffany's avatar

Thanks! I’ve never been. I’m currrntly in the air, getting ready to land in Houston before I board my flight to MDE in a couple of hours.

Eileen M. Forbes's avatar

Good, Aaron. I’m glad ur going to get some actual rest tonight. 🫶🏼

Leslie Goodman-Malamuth's avatar

Bless you and your work, Aaron. In future years, your nonstop efforts during these holocaust days will be documented with the gravity devoted to the famous war correspondents of the past.

AND the elderly in wheelchairs, getting arrested for protesting and being zip tied. Thank you Aaron for all you’ve done. Definitely eat up on your sour candy and get some good rest. ( Sugar overload and sleep go so good together 😂) We never know what tomorrow will bring! I love you 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Kathy Bailey's avatar

Those poor elderly people. Scared just wanting their voices heard. Shame on the officers that did this.

Dori Eckerty's avatar

I would truly like to know how these people sleep at night knowing what they have just done.

Joan-Avicii’s Mom's avatar

Zip-tying the hands of the elderly is abuse. As we age we develop thin skin susceptible to fine tears that introduce bacteria and other pathogens into our blood leading to infection, wounds and bruises that are slow to heal. It’s unnecessary to zip-tie a senior’s hands and compromise their lives and the safety and well-being of some of the people in wheelchairs. Zip-tying the hands of ANYONE who is compromised is abusive and nothing but a display of dominance.

OK buddy! BTW Congrats on the Rolling Stones article! Reminds me of an old song, Nothing like the thrill that'll get you, like the thrill of being on the cover of the Rolling Stone! Be sure to send 5 copies to your mother!

I so appreciate your hard work. My 29 yr old daughter has complex disabilities and most people think Medicaid is only so people living in poverty can go to the Dr. For people with disabilities it’s so much more. Medicaid is 75% of our household income (SSI the other 25% $80 of SNAP, per month, is mixed in too). Deep cuts to Medicaid is so much more than people not being able to go to the Dr. It means not having anyone to get you out of bed, feed you, bathe you, and so much more. It could be life or death for some. Lord help us!

Enjoy your personal time brother :)

Bless your heart. We all appreciate you. Thank you for everything you do to keep us informed.

Red Kitten's avatar

I can physically see how hard It is on you sometimes. You’re still my number one trusted new source and I appreciate everything you do!

Camela Moulder's avatar

Thanks for keeping me sane Aaron! Have a wonderful evening!!

Kolokia's avatar

Just today I decided that I'm going to just come here for the news so that I won't spend so much time and get so overwhelmed or emotionally distraught.

Your no nonsense facts will make it so that I can keep up without becoming a victim.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are doing for me and our country.

Toni's avatar

Many blessings to you Aaron. Get some rest.

Aaron, nobody talks about the Medicare cuts in this big beautiful Bill. I’ve heard that there are cut to Medicare as well as Medicaid. Why isn’t anyone talking about that and can you confirm it?

S. A. Linden's avatar

I've gotten messaging on it, but it seems to be minimal in the big discussions. Yep, that's bound to affect a lot more healthcare recipients. Real popular stuff . . . 🙄
