President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Thank you Rick Steves. You are a mensch
And now, I get to partner with the wonderful network of volunteers and caring people who run the Lynnwood Hygiene Center. And — thanks to $400K in community donations — there is funding to develop the center through capital improvements.

Fox: We're seeing rising numbers of measles cases. To be honest, this is somewhat expected as we see declining vaccination rates. Unfortunately, the way things are going right now with the CDC and the current vaccination advisory committees, we're seeing even more mistrust and confusion.

Five or six terms in the House, with two or three in the Senate, both sound sane & balanced. Also, if everyone in these elected offices, knows that there’s a timer running on them, they will be incentivized to focus on substantive achievements, rather than performative shows and feathering their bed
