I would prefer the government pay the air traffic controllers who protect us than for ICE who terrorizes us during the shutdown.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

The last two Dodger championship teams had to fight back from the brink also.

2024 Dodgers had to win two straight elimination games in the NLDS against the Padres and did

2020 Dodgers had to win three straight elimination games in the NLCS against the Braves and did.

4/5 games were on the road

When morning sunlight hits just right! Yes, another Gardenia bloom from my patio. I know that there's SO much to take in, especially in the U.S. but today and this weekend, I'm letting nature take me over! Enjoy! πŸŒ±πŸŒΏπŸƒ

Apart from anything else, the "Lincoln bathroom" wasn't Lincoln's bathroom. It was Lincoln's office and cabinet room.

It wasn't renovated in the 1940s, it was installed in the 1940s.

The thing I'm watching for the most is the margin of Mamdani winning Brooklyn on Tuesday. I think it's going to be an utter smackdown.

And please remember, for the non-New-Yorkers, Brooklyn is not a "neighborhood."

If it were its own city, we'd be the size of Chicago.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

More than 47 million Americans β€” including one in five children β€” don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.
