Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

If we ever win again and the new government is progressive it would be cool to have some sort of new deal situation where they hire tons of people to undo all the damage that’s been done, like fixing the govt websites and stuff. Huge public works stuff

Escalator don’t lie

what an absolute fucking dork

Big nail that I pulled out of my rear tire

That’ll do it. Thanks to the person that left that in the bike lane at 10th & Pine

I got a flat on my ride which stinks, but I threw my bike on the 21 to get back to West and everyone is just watching the Eagles blocked kick TD on a loop on their phones.

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem
