Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

A woman who was 20 weeks pregnant fed her toddler son raw milk. He contracted Campylobacter and then passed the infection to her; she progressed to sepsis, and had a miscarriage. She is suing the business that sells the raw milk, saying she didn’t know the risk. Don’t feed your kids raw milk.

Is it just me or any picture with Trump in Oval Office, I’m looking for more tacky gold leaf additions more than listening to him drone on.

Head of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue branch resigns. He told colleagues that TX delay was tipping point after months of admin efforts to dismantle the agency. DHS Sec Noem took 72 hours after TX flooding to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/p...

Anyone here going to Miata’s at the Gap. #gapmiatas #matg #miata #miatas

On the lighter side, today is national bomb pop day, and bomb pops 70th anniversary. Happy Thursday!

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.

A presidential Easter wish.

So I would recommend no one follow my stock picking advice, but I do have a winner. 2 months ago sold Russel 2000 and S&P 500 out of my 401k, Left a lot in cash, and bought a European Defense and Military ETF. It's up over 2% today. I'm still way down today, but some things worked.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court was not for sale.

Early voting is taking place for the special elections in Florida for seats in the U.S. House in the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. Election Day is on Tuesday, April 1st. Get out and vote for Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Josh Weil!

@murray.senate.gov, @cantwell.senate.gov No on Cloture, No On CR, 60 votes to do anything until 2026. If you don't understand ask Mitch to explain how to obstruct.

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

So a good program gets killed to reduce govt spending to make way for tax cuts for the rich. Local schools lose money to buy from local small farmers. Small farmers are hurt, children will get more canned 'fruit cocktail' (or nothing) and big Ag wins and the rich win.

Many Hell-No's from me on this. Firstly people on startlink report slowness in late evening (like a lot of wireless internets). Sending 42 billion to a company owned by somebody running a government agency is the bigest of big conflict of interests. Also he threatens to cut off Ukraine internet.

This is an opinion piece that evidently meets Jeff Bezos' new test for supporting "personal liberties and free markets." Support pro-democracy independent media.

SLAVA UKRAINI!

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

NEW: Kootenai County Sheriff Norris will face a policy investigation for conduct at the town hall. CDA PD continue to investigate. Security firm’s license is revoked. And, First Amendment protections come into play. Here’s more from us at the Spokesman: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Coeur d’Alene PD have sent out a release on the incident:

This is shameful, we fire a respected general, giving the black youth a true example that the white privileged man will always win.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

When doing #Wordle is been opening with ‘felon’ and over 100 people are doing the same. Like to see if that can rise. Also I changed my NYT to games only and within 2 weeks the offered full sub for about same as games only price.

A song for Ukraine today..

Trying to send a message to NYT. Yesterday’s wordle. So far today 88 people opened with FELON

In another post, somebody suggested using AI to generate fake DEI complaint letters. I sugget every test their AI to see what limits it has. I use Claude 3.5 by default, and was very happy to see this response:

Penzeys spices running a special this weekend support those fighting and not bending knee

from Andy Borowitz TBR this is serious (not satire): Ann Telnaes, Pulitzer-winning cartoonist for the Washington Post since 2008, quit the paper this week after her editor killed her cartoon depicting WaPo owner Jeff Bezos and other craven billionaires debasing themselves before Donald J. Trump.

After seeing the 6 articles in NYT about Hunter Bidens pardon, including an opinion piece that was outraged about it, i did the responsible thing and cancelled my NYT subscription. (Well I did keep Wordle games sub). Gives me $20 a month for more substack and to donate more to TheGuardian.
