She/her. Library Cataloger, quilter, bookworm. Now retired. Moderate, not a progressive. Still with her (Hillary & Kamala). Never Bernie. I believe in the horseshoe theory of politics. If you’re screaming Do Something, pass me by. No DMs.

My dad, Gysgt William D. Kopp, served in the USMC for 22 years. He enlisted when he was 17. He was there for World War II (first battle was Saipan), occupied Japan, Korea and Vietnam. When he retired he worked at MCAS El Toro Exchange for 22 years. The drawing is dad at age 17. #Veterans

Denise Lugo has been a home care worker supporting aging adults and people with disabilities in North Carolina for over 30 years.
Now, the Labor Department wants to strip her and millions of other caregivers of minimum wage and overtime protections that could wreak havoc on their livelihoods.

Home Care Workers Are Losing Minimum Wage Protections — and Fighting Back

One person was seriously injured after being stabbed Friday on Charlotte’s LYNX Blue Line, the same route where the fatal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee took place months earlier.

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

I distinctly hope that the judges, the lawyers, the bureaucrats, the people who do this will never see heaven. I hope their guilt devours them, because if they do this and just go home and forget about it, they're monsters.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

To be clear, they did this under Biden, Obama and Clinton too. And the stain on their souls is just as dark then.

When I worked in immigration law this wasn’t as common as it is now, but it happened, and it made everyone in the room so desperately uncomfortable, the way you are when you are confronted with your own bald-faced lie that you have to keep up. This is from 2016.

Amtrak's restored service between New Orleans and Mobile has far exceeded initial ridership projections since launch in August, just like what happened when the Borealis service was established between Chicago and St. Paul last year.
Amtrak is currently expecting to double the first-year estimates.

Gulf Coast train line is among the most successful in Amtrak’s history. See ridership totals.
The route’s early success has raised hope for some advocates of regional train travel. See how many people have taken the train since its launch in August.

And since they blew every man on board to smithereens we have nothing to go on except their word - but we already know there's not a single trustworthy soul in the entire Trump administration.
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.
