Never mind. What I thought was the roof of a golf cart was just an awning. He still looks like s*** though.

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

But he strikes me as the kind of guy who'd have to call his mom to come help after about an hour - and he'd still not understand why he's being unreasonable.

I'm convinced that the reason so many phones have cracked screens is because people are throwing them across the room in frustration. So far today, I've cursed out robo-operators and chatbots at USAA Insurance, USAA banking, and Safelite. I've yet to speak to a human at either company.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Nailed it (and him).

On this day in 1777, congressional delegate John Adams wrote: “Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make good use of it."

Is this normal: I picked up a couple of things from the dry cleaner a week ago, and have been airing them out since. I can still smell the chemicals from 10 feet away. Am I going to need to take them to an eco-friendly cleaner to get the smell out?

At least the WaPo sports page is still reliable. The always wonderful Sally Jenkins on Martina Navratilova and what VOA meant to her growing up in communist Czechoslovakia: wapo.st/4iIKynI

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

FYI - changed my handle because people keep mistaking me for the real Claire McCaskill.

"You may be thinking that one day can't make a difference. "but it could be one day or day one." @adriennemareebrown. Coretta Scott King reminds us that "freedom must be won with every generation." #economicboycott ✊🏽

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Very cool. Cheers to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania!

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

Y'all I just cannot with this ☠️

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, #WeRemember the 6 million Jews, and millions more, slaughtered by Nazis. As antisemitism rears its ugly head once again we must speak out against hatred & racism to ensure #NeverAgain means something. In the face of darkness, be the light.

The lowest form of human life (winter edition): The a** who pulls into your parking space after you've spent an hour in frigid temps cleaning off your car and clearing the snow so you can get out to someplace you have to be.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

This does not bode well. I've been officially retired for less than 2 hours, and I'm bored already.

I wish I could like this more than once - that first sentence especially.

I've been to 21; I've lived in 5.

Anybody know why we've had several low-flying helicopters over NW DC today? (Low enough that the house is shaking!)

How in god's name does UPS make any money? Every time I have a delivery from them it takes 2 trips, because they come, they don't knock or ring the doorbell, they just leave a note that they'll be back. Wouldn't you, if required to get a signature, make sure nobody was home before leaving?

No matter which foods you like, you have to admit that no holiday *smells* better than Thanksgiving.

I don't know why I always watch the dog show - the Basset Hounds get no respect - no respect at all [adjusts tie].

Annual morbidity in the 20th century, before and after vaccines: Measles: Before: 530,000, After: 47 Mumps: Before: 160,000, After: 429 Rubella: Before: 50,000, After: 3 Diphtheria: Before: 20,000, After: 2 Smallpox: Before: 30,000, After: 0 Polio: Before: 16,000, After: 0

Quite so.

I'm referring to the garment, not the person wearing it.

Dear Men, We don't care what you want. Take Note.

OK, turns out he referred to 600 *HHS* employees - very different from NIH. NIH is a component of HHS (as are FDA, CDC, CMS, etc.)

I'm so excited - we're actually getting real, hard rain in DC for the first time in over a month. 🌧️

I just finished Jane Smiley's latest, "Lucky", and let me tell you, that last chapter is ... unsettling. Especially at this moment in history.

I think I've just figured out what I'm feeling about my fellow Americans (apart from the low-level nausea). I feel betrayed. I think selfishness won. Utter disregard for the greater good won. "I got mine" won. And we'll all lose something in the years to come.
