Started today by rescuing a savanna sparrow that somehow got into my daughter's bedroom. Still can't figure out how it got into the house. Her room is the furthest point from any of the doors.

Hydrate, people. In this heat, if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated.
Get someplace cool: your local library, an indoor mall, anywhere you can exist out of the blazing sun for several hours.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
