Turner:
I hope so.
Higgins:
You're about to be a very lonely man. It didn't have to end this way.
Turner:
Of course it did.
Higgins:
Hey Turner! How do you know they'll print it? You can take a walk… but how far if they don't print it?
Turner:
They'll print it.
Higgins:
How do you know?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7iwm6e27pkhiwyqodtryugub/bafkreigitudzhvmnkvkxlfpwl6662epzeyvnjnxwxfbujomwut374c4r6a@jpeg)

This is crushing… I live in Ohio so my own senators are a lost cause. I wish Schumer and these quislings understood how many of us beyond their own states were depending upon them to use their one real tool to protect our nation.

I’ve been feeding my family of four like this for 20 years. Key is routine… I make a menu for the week, then shop once. Menu includes breakfast/lunch/dinner and accounts for personal differences. Saves sooo much time/energy
