Couldnโ€™t be happier to be home in Maine this weekend. On Monday, we SHOULD be in Washingtonโ€”but Speaker Johnson is keeping the House locked.

Why? Likely to avoid swearing in Rep. Grijalva, the 218th signer forcing a vote on the Epstein Files.

We owe this to the victims. Disgraceful.

I dont like the conspiracy thoughts roaming my brain but it seems a lot like the plan is to let everyone who is non-able to die. The cynicism is so strong! But I dont think they realize how many Americans there are who will not ever be swayed to that depth of disparity. Italy is rising. When do I?

**"I'll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry - worry that I wasn't quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn't live up to my mother's hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude."**
My life didn't quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily - on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions - but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn't quite found.
At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with - Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people's living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks.
It healed something in me.
At 60, I began learning Italian - not for work, but so l could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.
At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage - something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.
At 80, I took up watercolor painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.
Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I'm learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter - though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.
**I'm writing this to tell you something simple:**
**Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter - if you let yourself bloom again.**
Let these years ahead be your *treasure years*.
You don't need to be famous. Yโ€ฆ

Given todayโ€™s news, I was recently introduced to this piece by Patricia Routledge, and i always found it really moving.

so.... are they wanting this shutdown because any death to them is a good death? They can falsely blame democrats if many die due to lack of medicine, housing and food. Is the cynicism so strong that they figure the housing stock will increase and more food and jobs for those who survive?

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion โ€” just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?
