Social Security is not charity. It’s America's promise to its own people: you did the work, you put in the money, and now you've earned the benefit on the other side. Why break a sacred promise to 73 million hardworking Americans—a promise they rely on and deserve?

A lot of misinformation out there. Just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact-based data around the Southern CA wildfires. The TRUTH: - CA did NOT cut our firefighting budget. We have nearly doubled the size of our firefighting army and built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet. - CA has INCREASED forest management ten-fold since we took office. - California will NOT allow for looting.

@GinPhillips17 @rebeccamakkai So good! Captures that time so beautifully.

Four truths by 1000 Words by @jamiattenberg. My favorite: “we can’t finish what we don’t start.” #5amwritersclub

@erikadreifus Thanks, Erika! A walk with a friend in a beautiful place can really make a difference.

@sarahmcrow Thank you for sharing!

Today’s view: kayakers on tiny Kezar Lake. This is one of my favorite walking routes in New Hampshire. I needed this today! 💙

The Democrats will lose all hope; the Republicans will overreach. Me, I’m sending money tonight, and getting ready to address postcards to voters.

@birkett_morris I imagine that it’s partly because it’s all such a slog. Writing is hard, and selling a book is hard, and then going out and promoting it is hard, and who knows if any of it works? It’s a crazy business. And yet: you have two books to your name!

@birkett_morris I don’t have suggestions but it is a real thing, and with so many causes. Does this feel different than last time?

@savranly Thanks!

@sarahmcrow Good luck!

No #5amWritersClub today, but I'm still up pretty early to write. I've got a quiet, cool house and a novel badly in need of revision.

@KathMSchmidt I started and finished my MFA program at the same ages, 52 and 54! It is never too late!

@ScottJ_Moses I sent 49 queries in batches, over about a year.

We are thrilled to announce that the Le Guin family has donated their family home to Literary Arts to turn into a writers residency. This generous gift will fulfill Ursula K. Le Guin’s lifelong mission to elevate historically underrepresented voices in literature.

For Sunday, some flowers from my garden. Now back to writing! #flowerreport

@SandiPlewis Thanks! Hope your writing’s going well today.

Good morning, writers! Back to revising my novel after feedback from an editor friend. Now I’m cutting pages and asking more story questions. Here’s my inspiration for today: a baby rose from my garden. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

@hanna_neier Thanks, I thought so too! Wish I could remember the variety!

@sarahmcrow So pretty!!
