@KatTimpf I just cried with you as I listened to Greg read your words. Sending so much love and hope to you.

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.   It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.   The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.   The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my  son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.   In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.   The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.   I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.   That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.   I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

@MaryLTrump You are an idiot and a traitor.

So weird Donald didn't stand up, ask for his shoes, defiantly raise his fist, and say "Fight, fight, fight."

Yes!!

@Steve_Perrault Oyster River high school baseball in Durham, New Hampshire. My son Owen is a senior and is a thrill to watch. Went 444 yesterday and was the winning starting pitcher.

@Jared_Carrabis @Section10Pod Instead of watching the Red Sox yesterday, I was so lucky to watch my son Owen get four doubles, five RBIs and get the win on starting pitch for this high school baseball team. He’ll be planning in Boston next year, for Wentworth Institute of Technology.

I hate that I have to watch the Red Sox today so soon after watching the Red Sox.

Congratulations Owen!! Wentworth is lucky to have you! #nhiaabaseball #gobobcats

@RealCandaceO So obviously in love with Charlie Kirk that she has to go after his grieving widow. Shameful.

🚨The Tyler Robinson hearing explained. Why won’t Donald Trump command his FBI to hand over the discovery documents?

@RealCandaceO You are a naïve fraud.

Please spare us the paid influencer campaign to convince us that Erika’s life was at risk from empty seats. Just this one time, please oh please spare us, Turning Point.

🚨 THEY WERE ALL SO YOUNG! This heartbreaking video shows the innocent faces of young Americans whose lives were brutally stolen by illegal aliens • Anya Varfolomeev, 19 • Nikolay Oskin, 19 • Ava Moore, 18 • Chloe Polzin, 21 • Halie Helgeson, 18 & Brady Heiling, 19 • Ivory Smith, 7 • Jocelyn Nungaray, 12 • Katie Abraham, 20 • Kayla Hamilton, 20 • Laken Riley, 22 • Dayanara, 11 & Maria Pleitez, 42 • Matthew Denice, 23 • Nate Baker, 21 • Rachel Morin, 37 • Mora Gerety, 8 All gone, murdered by people who should’ve never been here.

Charlie Kirk: “Have a wonderful weekend, everybody. Shabbat Shalom. Good Shabbos. Turn off your phone. Enjoy your family. God bless America.”

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

She didn’t drive her car at an ICE agent. She wasn’t assaulting ICE agents. She didn’t lose her life while obstructing law enforcement. She was murdered by an illegal alien criminal - the kind of person Renee Good and Alex Pretti were trying to protect. So of course Democrats don’t give a shit about Sheridan Gorman.

An illegal alien was caught at the border, but was released, not deported, by the Biden Admin. The illegal ended up in a major American city, where he'd later take the life of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman. How many times will this same story be repeated? We don't have to live this way.

The only Awards Ceremony speech worth watching. Greatest of all time.

If you’re mad that women are gaining freedom you may be a terrible piece of shit.

@itsrosesm Absolutely

@RoKhanna @RepThomasMassie False

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war in Iran with American lives at risk. Congress must convene on Monday to vote on @RepThomasMassie & my WPR to stop this. Every member of Congress should go on record this weekend on how they will vote.

@NYCMayor 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
