It’s great. Our washer and dryer are in the basement, so we can’t hear when they’ve finished a cycle. But the app pings on our phones and voila!

I see the Melania movie has a 1.4 out of 10 rating on IMDb. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a rating that low

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Actβ€”a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

The Enemy arrested Don Lemon in LA while he was covering the Grammys. He was arrested for his work in Minnesota. A magistrate judge threw out a similar charge against Lemon a week ago. The Enemy is getting desperate and is losing it.
