We have a government full of rank amateurs playing in the professional league.
Wouldn't be so bad, but in this game much is irreversibly lost.
A dangerous blend of narcissistic incompetence and ruthless malevolence.

Others may have been able to press significantly more weight than me at the gym this afternoon, but I still had the cutest gym bag (tote bag w/ art by my 7 yo son back in the day; a fundraiser 4 his school many moons ago).

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

The only what’s on this administration’s central radar makes any kind of sense is when you remember that a rapacious real estate mogul is, in fact, your president…
WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Good on MIT for refusing the "compact". In addition 2 constitutional issues, I honestly can't see how any university could in good conscience agree 2 a compact so open-ended on what the administration could dictate, their institution would essentially exist @ the mercy of rule by monarch's decree.

Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City on Saturday and called on his party’s leadership to do the same, criticizing them for a delay that he said allowed President Trump to exploit Democratic divisions.

Yet another 21st century harvest, this one by Ben from his walk with Marco on Mt Pleasant in the FLX this AM. Hard not to be impressed by the “bounty,” & grateful for the one in the bowl. Beautiful sweet tart apples, light yellow flesh flecked w/ rose inside. Variety? Your guess is as good as mine!
