How embarrassing to be an American at this moment.
I hope the EU responds by defending Ukraine. Russia can't handle the full might of Europe, they couldn't even defeat Ukraine alone.

I know one thing that could happen that would help me sleep at night
A lot of people are sleep deprived, according to the CDC. Some take supplements like melatonin to help. Now there's growing interest in magnesium as a sleep aid. But is there any evidence it works?
Americans don't get enough sleep. Can magnesium supplements help?

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

I started tagging our local GOP party on Facebook when Trump/Repubs do something vile, and it makes the news. No comments really, just wanted to let them know. So of course after a while they have blocked me.
But, it turns out they have a women's only Facebook group. Separate, but equal I'm sure.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Some intel: I've talked to journalists and folks on the Hill about this. Last night after OMB's action, some Senate Dems tried to unify the caucus to vote against Duffy. Schumer, among others, opposed it, and it flopped.
The current Dem leadership strategy is to use strong language but not do shit.

Yesterday, every Democrat voted to advance Sean Duffy (DOT)'s nomination.
In protest against Trump's unconstitutional freezing of federal funds, 22 Democrats voted NO on confirmation today.
Glad to see more demonstrated urgency. But that 22 should be 47.

Talk every day for weeks. Agree morally and socially. Have some matching interests. Amazing first date that lasted for hours. Talk about next date and future plans. Nice kiss at the end. Go home. Wake up, "Thanks, but I'm sorry no spark." Okay. 🤷♂️
