I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I don’t care who is in the White House–ending a critical home loan assistance program that serves 15,000 veterans is cruel and disrespectful.

Without an alternative in place, veterans who served our country are now at risk of losing their homes.

Cooper: Trump chose to attack you, blame you for this.

Newsom: People are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives.[Trump] wanted to politicize it… I stood next to Biden. And he had the backs of every single person in this community. He didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us.

I mean this wholly complimentarily: this is brilliant work and I wish I hadn't watched it. Feathered dinosaurs continue to be scarier than non-feathered ones.

This is my boy back in 2020 when he was a little angry-eyebrows baby who liked best to tuck his head into my elbow and sigh and snooze, and his favorite best-ever person was his big brother Ollie (2006-2023). Whom he misses, like I do, every day.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️

The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
