It seems pretty contradiction to me. But who expects consistencies?

Can they do that to a congressional website? I can't even find the Constitution on Whitehouse.gov

A question I have always had is why the heck did the agents allow Trump to stand up for his photo op? Shouldn't they have kept him down and covered and rushed him off the stage? That plus the lack of medical transparency about the ear causes doubt.

I don't think that fact gets enough reporting.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Is there a difference between acute and chronic pandemics? It seems like Covid-19 has entered the chronic phase, where TB, malaria, and HIV have been for much longer.

Dear Congress- why are you more concerned about potentially losing your job than you are about DOING your job?

I am sad to hear this.

But if anyone wants to gift me a boat, payment for storage, transport,and one or more persons to take care of the things that I can't, and take me out on the ocean when I want, I would be happy to take it. No quid pro co worries, since I have no money, power, or influence to share.

No, but if they did, they would have to include pilots, maintenance specialists, a hanger and whatever else is needed. But I guess the pres already has all that, as well as a pretty spectacular plane already. But I don't have to worry about emmoliament laws, which the pres should certainly do.

I think it is ok to take a moment to point out how utterly deplorable and offensive this is.

A plea.

Can we stop declaring this a β€œconstitutional crisis?”

It’s bigger.

It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures.

β€œConstitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis

It’s bigger.

There's a lot to abhor here. But I can't helped wondering about a minor point: what makes a watch worth paying 60k for even if someone somehow has the money to do so?

Not a new follower, but I am a proud Grandma of 2. 2 of my offspring have produced one each. One is a 21 yr old nursing student in ND, one is a 2 yr old in DC. Both are adorable. I am in Oregon so far away. If you live anywhere nearby, I would be happy to feed you πŸ˜€

Have you ever read Anne McCaffrey's dragonriders of Pern books? Definitely fiction, entertaining, with characters that you care about, whether human or dragon.

After time spent on the phone with a social security agent today in which she sorted some things for my husband's account, I not only thanked her for her help, but expressed my support for federal employees. In rather vague terms, since I was worried about getting her in trouble for even listening.

I did that recently also. In my case, it was a necesary part of the many things to do after falling victim to a computer scam, so reactive rather than proactive. But that experience has certainly made me aware of the importance of protecting personal info. 1/x

This doesn't sound like productive procrastination to me. As a lifelong procrastinator, I recommend the "I will be able to do it better tomorrow " approach. Just disregard the fact that I am writing this after 3 am, follow my advice and go to
bed.

Although it is not physical, it is emotional and mental violence.

So what is 18F? Yes, I am too lazy (or just plain tired) to find out myself. Also, yes I went to the IRS website and it appears that the link to Direct File is intact. I will probably just continue to use FreeTax USA and pay a little for state. But I am glad that it is there for others.

February 3, 2025 I’m going to start tonight by stating the obvious: the Republicans control both chambers of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
