This couch in my office is where staff leave immigration petitions for me to review. This is a rare sight - it's empty! Happy Friday!
Also, I definitely jinxed it.

Challenge post: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hellhole it is
(This is from a run around the Mall I took in Oct 2024. I was in DC again in April 2025, but I didn't take any scenic photos on that trip. Running the monuments always fills me with awe, and now, sadness too).

I just saw the best Coldplay concert I've ever seen (this was #5). Didn't get on the Jumbotron, but I did get to see Keith Urban come out to play a song with them, and that was way better! Also love Chris's shirt (Everyone is an alien somewhere)!

Just had the most impressive flying experience. There are bad storms in Memphis today. ATC, meteorologists & pilots combined to have us land about 30 seconds before an awful storm started. We're now waiting out the storm just out of the gate but we made it safely with a few bumps. Wow & kudos!!

If you do the NYT crossword, I apologize for this potential spoiler...

The HRSA Map Tool page where you can map out medically underserved is gone. The shortage area finder tool is still working. If that goes down, it will be exponentially harder to file J-1 waivers for international doctors to work in underserved areas.

The GOP wants us to live like the town in Footloose - conservative Christianity and no fun. I thought the pastor was the "bad guy" in that movie, but the GOP thinks it was Ren.

In light of the ADL'S decision to post this statement on X today, I have gone to their website and reported Elon's salute as an antisemitic incident and expressed my disgust with the ADL's statement. www.adl.org/report-incid...

This ad is in my Florida Bar News and it's really nuts. But the truly weird, crazy part is where they boast that 8 of their 9 kids were born by C-Section. Is that Elon head size nonsense a thing??
