Reheated the leftovers of these enchiladas I made for Rob and me last night for my dinner tonight. As I read up on the Epstein votes (yay House and Senate), the state environmental legislation progress and my city council it's best for me to not be hangry.

*sigh* as the child of a survivor of SA by a Catholic priest I'm never surprised, always disappointed. In this case by both the Church and the justice system.
Rev. Carlo Alberto Capella was released from prison and quietly returned to work after being convicted of possessing and distributing child pornography while serving as a Vatican diplomat, according to reports on Catholic blogs.
A convicted priest is back at work. Child advocates want Pope Leo to act.
Carlo Alberto Capella served prison time for a child pornography conviction but was allowed to return to work at the Vatican, posing a test for Pope Leo XIV.

Working-class car buyers will be the hardest hit by a 25% tariff on imported vehicles as almost all low-cost new cars sold in the US are built elsewhere. Lower-income buyers will suffer another blow from expected hikes in used car prices as demand surges and supply shrinks reut.rs/3FOnzJJ

PLEASE submit written testimony OPPOSING SB 210, that would REPEAL our vote-by-mail system. It is getting a public hearing on Monday, March 31
(TOMORROW) and would
make it difficult for disabled, elderly & people who can't afford to take time from work to vote.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.
