If you missed a flight because of long TSA lines at the airport, then blame Republican Senator Katie Britt for blocking a bill to fund TSA.
The heat is especially intense at the beach if there’s zero air movement. On those days parking sand chair at the waves edge was only relief. Today I’d be lucky to get out of the chair gracefully.
It is a felony to steal someone’s private Social Security data and give it to a third party without consent.
Elon Musk's DOGE did that 350 million times.
350 MILLION FELONIES.
Michael McFaul: "It is a reflection of our current political environment that Trump has been able to take the United States into a war that few Americans wanted, that he never mentioned on the campaign trail, and that received neither congressional authorization, nor UN or NATO approval."
These aren’t even good wrecker talking points!
Q: What is the running cost at the moment of this war?
Bessent: About 11 billion thus far
Q: As you look long term at America's finances, how long are you planning for this to continue? There's no chance you would say we can't afford it?
Bessent: Absolutely not

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
🚨Reuters investigation by @pearswick.press & me: Iran school struck on 1st day of war had yearlong online presence, including many photos of children & their activities, before it was bombed with at least 6 other buildings along 325m axis. www.reuters.com/investigatio...
Seven soldiers have died, 140 have been injured, civilian Iranian schoolchildren have perished, and billions of $$ have been spent. The WH is advertising this as a game.

Our service members don’t choose the battles, but they forever bear the cost. Our hearts are with the families of these heroes. Please keep them in your prayers.
It is jarring, much like this whole presidency is jarring. Orwell would probably look back now and think he may have underplayed his dystopian vision.
we recently made the switch to electric (finally) ourselves and I absolutely adore the Ioniq EV9. It's also true for road trips (youth basketball tournaments in central PA) it takes a bit more thinking/planning. But, after a few of those you get completely used to it and it's smooth sailing.
The propaganda and lies from the White House do nothing to make Americans safer and only serve the interests of the Iranian regime.
What he is describing, "no quarter," is a war crime.
A real Secretary of Defense, not some Fox News clown, would know never to use such language. Ever.

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats
A drive to Malibu does take some planning. I hate shopping for clothes. I'd rather go looking through 2nd hand stores for something I have no need for! HA!
I sometimes wonder who they are using for sizing these days! Hardly anything is sewn here anymore. Pattern grading is probably all computerized now. We did ours by hand. I was blown away when I found a pair of chinos that fit me like a glove at Costco. That was a one of event for sure!
It's probably because you are so active, and that's a good thing. My son and grandson are over 6' and both have back issues. Grandson had to get an injection to mitigate the problem. Sitting at a computer all day doesn't help.
It is a pain to find petite sizing these days. It almost does not exist anymore.
I kinda figured we had opposite problems right off the bat!
You can't add fabric! I will stop my bitching. 🤣
Yes 101 is a pretty drive. I have all the time in the world and I don't go anywhere these days and mutter about the traffic when I do, like today going into Laguna and forgetting its spring break. Ugh.
Are you going as far as Lompoc?
I would have been happy with 5.8 so I didn't always have to alter clothing. Was 5.5.5, now I am shrinking... and really have to hem everything except sweats.
🇺🇸 Rep. @tedlieu.bsky.social says there is “ample evidence” in the full Epstein files alleging Donald Trump raped children. “This is all on videotape.”
I take it the drive was long and a PITA!
A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
Survivors statement: "Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous. This is a betrayal of the very people this process is supposed to serve." #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverup
Lordy be!
Sounds like your night time job is as a sharp shooter!
Does that mean you have to stay in a hotel for the week and drive home in Friday traffic?
