I love hockey (the New York Islanders), iced tea, hot coffee, and my five kids.

![Sarah [00:44:58] No, I 100 percent agree. And, look, his catchphrase was I'll fix it. I'll fix it. And so, listen, here's where I'm at on that. I took a lot of notes during the Obama administration about being an effective minority. And my plan is to not insult the people who voted for Donald Trump. My plan is to hold Donald Trump and the Republican Party, who are clearly going to have all the reins of government at their disposal, to account every single day. Do your best, guys. I want to see what you can do. I want the prices down. I want the goods unlocked. I want the public schools thriving. I want all end to international conflict. I want it all. I want my health care costs to go down. I want Social Security fully funded, but I don't want to pay taxes on it. I want everything and I want it now. And I plan on demanding it. I think the best thing we can do is to hold the people in power, which are going to be Donald Trump and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party, responsible for their promises. I want the prices to go down.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bzwidbjmtse2letyqcd6tdsi/bafkreiadaue27opzzr4hpzw6mdj4wdruheh2bie3eeobjb6xedw7pn3sma@jpeg)
I found this from Sarah Stewart Holland on the podcast Pantsuit Politics to be useful. Do not stop making noise. Demand they keep their promises. If the voting public wants to act like spoiled toddlers I’m going to join right in.
Good morning. It’s a great day to watch the Olympics.

He posted it, he’s going to deny it until someone asks him to apologize for it l, and then he’s going to throw a fit because he refuses to apologize ever. We’ve seen this all before.

Today’s roast culminating in a flat white (my preferred milk to espresso ratio. I also like long blacks quite a bit.)
No latte art mastery here yet. I’m still feeling my way through this.

There are a few monologues from Shakespeare that scare the shit out of me. What do you mean he wrote this 400 years ago??? It helps to have one of the greatest actors of all time perform it, of course.

I don’t know if I’ve told this story but my friend was in a community-supported raw dairy subscription service and when I was visiting her house (she lived in New York) I pasteurized the milk I used for my kids. She wasn’t upset or anything but I think about it all the time when I see these stories.

Bacon egg and cheese with salt and pepper on a sea salt bagel. My friend brought me one from his bagel place this morning along with fresh bagels for the fam before dropping me off at LaGuardia. I know it’s supposed to have ketchup but I can’t do it, y’all. I’ll miss you, New York.

And since someone asked I’m staying at the hotel that the teams stay at when visiting the island. Both Lou and Barry were incredibly nice and Lou even smiled when I thanked him for the Bo Horvat trade. And Barry was so sociable. I’ll love him forever. 💙🧡

Collective oppositional defiant disorder when it comes to the federal government is as American as apple pie.
the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack

Ah, blessed capitalism, where pissed off consumers can actually express displeasure with their purchases. It’s almost like this rancid freak is toxic or something.

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
