Iโ€™m certain youโ€™re right.

Thereโ€™s not a thing they can do to you. Iโ€™m not sure that statute of limitations applies, but if it does, it runs out and theyโ€™re stuck.. which they deserve. Stick it to them. They can not deny any other service based on you ignoring it and not paying it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think this falls under the No Surprise Act. Whatever you do, do not pay them a dime if youโ€™re on Medicaid or a combo of Medicaid/Medicare. Iโ€™d fight it to a certain point but after the level of tolerance hits its peak, just ignore it and any call or correspondence.

Finally someone talking about what the UN *should* exist for - not just to debate or decry, but to peacefully avert crimes against humanity in the moment of crisis

The opinion by Paxton explicitly takes no position on whether breaking quorum is unconstitutional because, as Paxton said, it was tied up in litigation at the time www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/defaul...

NOTABLY the Paxton opinion that Abbott cites doesnโ€™t actually say lawmakers who break quorum are removable โ€” in fact it says this is a fact-specific question only resolvable by a court.

The opinion also does not say itโ€™s unconstitutional to break quorum.

Feel like its a bad sign about the health of the republic that Pritzker has to talk about TX Dems like theyโ€™re the Polish government-in-exile in London

Our Loved Ones Were Kidnapped and Murdered by Hamas We heard promises from the the most powerful people in the world. What the 101 hostages still in Gaza need is action.

That, I did not know, was hyper focused on all the raves about Insta Pot eggs. Thatโ€™s great to know.

They were gathering places. Prior we did community bulk buying and rotated houses to divide up the spoils. People involved in everything from spinning wool, weaving, painting . It was wonderful for the little ones. Lots of love in those spaces.

There was an artist and ver loving community around food. Little cafes. We had one in the Berkshires, our children were raised around them. Thereโ€™s a lentil loaf I can make blindfolded. Everyone was involved in the working food co-ops. Selling their arts. We need a comeback of that kind of community

Philly in the 80s was a hip food mecca. The streets, food trucks of all kinds. An old friend had a โ€œJewish- Rasta-Vegetarian/Veganโ€ , a smash hit, that eventually turned into a big business. Those were the days.

The community cookbooks! All the local fair from grandmas and aunties. Folklore in its own right.

My gosh, the famous carrot cake! They were introducing ingredients to people, like siracha, long before it was the buzz. Thereโ€™s was an explosion in the 80s. Alice Waters. One of my favorite ways to spend time is digging through cramped off the hidden trail used bookstores.

Hers did, too and she asked for a new copy last year. I think my mother had three. An era.

Yes and the ever hailed Chicken Marbella, with olives and prunes. My daughter, a personal chef/nutritionist she makes a version, to this day, using dried apricots. Thereโ€™s a microwaved , but one can easily stove top it, dried bing cherry chutney with a real kick of chili flakes. Delicious.

Lots of lemon and cumin are musts. So good. I canโ€™t think of the bread book without thinking of the original Silver Palate. Iconic and still a go to.

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas Houseโ€”decided to get the hell out of Texasโ€ฆ breaking quorum is where theyโ€™re at right now. And they didnโ€™t just do it by themselvesโ€”they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.
