@booker.senate.gov Thank you for fighting for NJ!

A really good read (or watch): Marc Elias interviews Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project - newsletters.democracydocket.com/my-conversat...
Rick is really good at clarifying things:
Why maga stick w Tr*mp / Why Republicans in gov can’t break free / Why Dems messaging is bad / what you can do & cope

Kudos to my home state! Governor Kathy Hochul rocks for getting free meals for all NY Public School kids.

As he lurched forward his liftgate flew open, and his groceries tumbled out…yogurts smashed, cherries and assorted fruit rolling in all directions, meat packages ripped, jars broken …it was fn glorious. I stepped over the carnage and DID not stop to help. Karma, baby, karMA.

I was stepping off the curb outside of my local supermarket with my one bag of stuff, when a dude in an SUV that was idling at the curb locked eyes with me and yet he proceeded to hit the gas to avoid having to wait the 5 seconds while I crossed in front of him. He nearly knocked me over. 1/2

Happy Father’s Day!

Yikes. I scared myself.

Thank you @maddow.msnbc.com Your show tonight has been truly inspiring. 💙

Reporter: Wall Street analysts have a new term called the TACO trade.. Saying Trump always chickens out on tariffs…  

Trump: I kick out?

Reporter: Chicken out.

It’s been a while since I’ve flubbed an email reply. This was a mild one. Still embarrassing. But a good reminder. Have you done this?

And I check, but I already know what I did - I replied to the wrong person. I apologized to her: “I’d never email this to the farm - I’m just negotiating vegetables with hubby. Which I probably shouldn’t do at 2am”.

I get a very sweet email from the farm owner, saying in essence “Can we help?”…😳

at 2 AM,
I get what I thought was an email from M., listing the veggie array of the week. On autopilot (because 2 AM) I reply to “M.” in my usual shorthand: “Not awful, but what are the subs?”. Next morning…

Story: We get weekly delivery from the local CSA organic farm. Hubby (M.) always sends me the farm’s weekly email with the upcoming veggies. By the way, M. HATES a lot of vegetables, and we often substitute for a preferred veg when available. A couple of days ago…

I just deleted the super annoying Shop pay and the Shop App. I don’t know why one needs to use this.

😉

Pockets. That’s the tweet. Women will understand.

Who knew T. was so *weak* he couldn’t get someone returned here if he wanted to. Just sayin…

For those of you (US citizens) traveling outside the US: upon return:
(contrary to rumor,+ not to be too specific/don’t want to jinx it) But US Cust0ms officials were casual+ NOT in any way zealous, re: items purchased, (way under the $800 limit). We were honest & said exactly what we bought. YMMV.

Where are my old house people? I need those who can feel this sadness:The beautiful, c1880 Queen Anne Victorian next door to me was sold & the new owner had a crew arrive yesterday & gut the house down to the studs, original chestnut millwork/moldings, plaster, and several fireplaces, all gone. 😕

Caturday. Zip’s whiskers are growing in curly. Rokk regularly chews them off her, but lately the balance of power has shifted as Zip got chonky

Ick. And, who carries cash anymore?

Amazing! Not what I would have guessed would be the result. Kudos to the shareholders.

Bots, scammers, and trolls are populating Bluesky now. Signs - few or no replies to posts; dependence on memes, AI, and famous quotes; overabundant use of emojis; little or no personal or original content. DMs to you that begin with a question.

🥄 pass it on

For all federal employees:

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

And absolutely none of it makes the cultists’ lives one iota better.

I could have written this. Thank you. Following you immediately.

mind like water.
