My pets and taking it easy. Baltimore enjoyer. Join your union.
Reporters should start yelling at him. Why haven’t we tried that yet?
TRUMP: We’re going to give Americans the money to buy health insurance

REPORTER: But won’t they buy it from
Insurance companies?

TRUMP: Ahhh. Some may. I mean they’ll be negotiating prices

Good time to pivot rhetoric on tax policy from “raise revenue” to “curtail power/influence” IMO.

If I was going to try and defend the NYT right now I would go ahead and not do that.

So many things going on I forget to dwell on some of it, like how weird it is that the president and vice president are publicly opining on ibuprofen. Get a job!

Druid Hill Park is so beautiful right now FYI. Probably post-peak for leaf peeping, but still very colorful.

My sympathies to the journalists (with exceptions!) that have to read through the emails and retool their brains to comprehend the spelling/grammar.

Replace the presidential debates with a 1000 word (televised) Blue Book essay exam. Candidates can pick their own topic.

I had a temp document review job back at the end of the Bush admin., and the amount of highly placed people who can’t write a simple sentence (or spell) was shocking. That was also the best lesson I ever had to be smart about what you’re memorializing.
One thing that the Epstein emails have taught me is that lots of supposedly superior intellects don't understand basic grammar.

A project shouldn't exist unless it furthers adopted city plans and complies with law.

We've flagged noncompliance months in advance of resurfacing every year.

There's enough funding and time every year to fix this problem.

Agency leadership just needs to do it.

Not lost on me that Dick Durbin, one of the Senators voting to give up, is also the minority whip. He coordinated this with Schumer. He’s also been in Congress since 1982!

If you work for any of the spineless Senators that gave up, you need to quit your job loudly and publicly. Free idea: include in your resignation that you intend to run for the seat and reclaim the power your boss abnegated.

If Ravens don’t blow this I’d like to thank the Vikings for the win.

I have an underbaked conspiracy theory, which I’m choosing to not think about any more as to not spoil it.

Maybe I’m still riding high from Election Day, but it feels like even with his supporters/sympathizers in basically every position of power (gov’t, press, biz, etc), he’s going to be so bad at his job that enough people will eventually turn against him and he’ll be recognized for what he is.
Trump says he’s told DOJ to investigate the meatpacking companies, which he blames for high prices.
