Am I missing something here?

TikTok is getting the farewell that Vine deserved.

Biden: Good afternoon. It's a very good afternoon, because at long last I can announce a cease fire. And a hostage deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas

☀️ Paid youth summer jobs participation
👶 Universal pre-K access
🏘️ Affordable housing & homeownership investment
👩‍🍳 Small business creation
🌳 Parks programming
👩‍🏫 BPS early college & career seats

Appeal it — if you’re right, he will win (he won’t)

If your incarcerated spouse falls deathly ill, the Duval jail might not tell you The Alexanders’ story shows the difficulties families face when their loved ones fall sick behind bars and they can’t get updates on their conditions.

“I’m his wife,” Dionne Alexander said. “Don’t I have the right to know what’s happening?”

Jags are not a bad team — we’ve lost 10 games, 8 are one-possession games.

This is the Tuesdayiest Monday of the year.

You too, COJ.

Good morning to everyone except the Houston Texans.
