They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

Speaking of, a ripe lime should be at least 30% yellow. Don't be juicing those grass green guys. They aren't juicy, they're bitter, and the perfume hasn't developed. Let them hang out on the counter for a few days, then refrigerate in a container so they don't dehydrate and get hard.

to be fair, rolling back air and water pollution rules and cutting food assistance is a great way to reduce people’s life expectancy
The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.
White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health
Parts of the “MAHA report” contradict scientific consensus.

If your reaction to Joe Biden being diagnosed with cancer is to double down on criticizing him and the party, you need to go outside, touch some grass, and re-evaluate your life choices.

All sensible perspective lost to click fever derangement.
Don't watch CNN right now if you don't want to get depressed. Brian Stelter is going on about "the timing" of the cancer diagnosis and his colleague Tapper's book. Apparently, there's something really important about that.
I thought we might get some respectful coverage at least today.
