a github comment from @steveklabnik saying "@aaron-hartwig you were absolutely right! this is a real bug in the code, not user error."

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND STORY: French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy and scrub it into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring.

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

Tom, context matters. In April we had 26 overruns from over 213,000+ 🔴🚇station stops which is a 99.99% reliability rate & overruns are not considered a safety issue by federal database or other peer agencies as it simply does not pose a safety risk. ATO is safer operations.

there’s something so enchantingly beautiful about one man saying “i’m going to throw this ball as hard as i can” and another guy with a bat saying “the fuck you are”

If true this is a death sentence

Adam Kinzinger (S... & @AdamKinzinger Follow So let me get this straight, @GavinNewsom desperate to platform MAGA, @chuckschumer is defacto supporting the CR. What's the point of an opposition party again?

the primary divide in the Democratic Party right now is not left vs. right

it’s fighters vs. cowards. that’s why even former republicans like kinzinger who are centrists on policy are absolutely furious at Schumer
