Dog mom. People mom. Sometimes writing, sometimes making stained glass. Always ready for a nap. I wrote something once https://a.co/d/7O162S9, one day I'll do it again.
How many groceries can I get with patriotic hope?
Rep. Dan Meuser on Trump's economic message: "The president is the best at expressing and providing that patriotic hope that has real results."

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

We have to assume it's going to be 100x's worse than what we think is the very worst because that's what it will be. I thought separating families and putting them in cages was the worst that could happen and look at what's happening now.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Is Trump's birthday parade what will make him feel like a strong man? | Opinion
Donald Trump is having a parade for the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army - and his birthday. Fox News will cover it, of course. Protests are expected.

David Brooks, a conservative columnist speaks about the amount of people who have died directly as a result of cuts to USAID by Doge.

Over 55,000 adults, 6,000 children just from AIDS. That’s a total of 300,000 who have died due to Doge’s cuts.

It’s only been four months.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.
