A border patrol agent went into a women’s bathroom with a loaded weapon and tried to hit on someone inside.

A CBP agent being paid by the federal government sexually harassed a woman in a public washroom.

just want to point out o.p.'s photos show nicely that buddha's tightly-curled "hair" is an artfully packed array of snail shells.

buddha was sitting in the sun & a snail felt sorry for his bald head. he called his pals & they all lined up to shield. naturally they broiled & were stick there 4ever ❤️

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

Still thinking about yesterday in the shop. I was struggling leaving with the pram & trolly. A woman whispered to her teenage son “what’s happening there?” (nodding towards me) then “now, what can you do to help her?” He whispered “push the trolly?” she gently said “yes, & if she says no, that’s ok”

Eliminating the penny is absolutely the right policy outcome, but the Constitution gives CONGRESS the power to coin money, not the executive. Nixing the penny by presidential order may turn out to be too a high of a price, despite it being the right outcome. Why? 1/ 🧵
