Imagine hiring a guy who promises to fix your plumbing on Day One, then watching your house flood for 21 months while he blames the previous plumber.

KILMEADE: One of the biggest challenges for America is inflation and gas prices. Inflation is up 3.7% and gas is up 9%. For people who look at those numbers and say 'I'm going to vote for the other party,' what do you say? KATIE ZACHARIA: Well the reason we're in this situation is Joe Biden, so I would say President Trump has done everything he's been able to to fix these prices. You can't correct the ship overnight.

BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon officials reportedly intend to hold off releasing an internal report on the school bombing carried out by the United States in southern Iran that killed at least 156 people until after the U.S. midterm elections at the earliest. America killed 120 children, 26 teachers, and some parents under Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. …and they don’t want us know the truth.

As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society. We don’t have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

Chinese international student in my class was telling me about how his evangelical dad in Beijing believes that Trump was chosen by god to win the election, but that this victory is part of a larger divine plan to destroy the united states

$5,000 is tempting, but my vote cannot be bought for anything under $15,000. I refuse to compromise my integrity.

Mark Arnest @markarnest1 One day in the practice room I wore a paper bag over my head with eyeholes and a big drawn-on smile. The double-takes were priceless! (It was also a useful discipline, since I could not look down at my hands.)

President Trump has added more to the national debt than to economic output in his first 17 months in office. The CBO projects the gap will only widen over the rest of his term.

Sixty-nine years ago today, Elizabeth Eckford was 15 years old and simply trying to go to school. This image is painful to look at, but necessary to remember. What I see is not only hatred. I see courage, dignity, and the strength to keep moving when the world around you is trying to push you back. Progress is never guaranteed. Rights can be challenged. History can be distorted. And generations can become comfortable with injustices they did not personally create. That is why courage still matters. Honor Elizabeth Eckford. Honor the Little Rock Nine. And let their example remind us that human dignity must always be defended. #ElizabethEckford #LittleRockNine

Haha - interesting thought from Ivan Turgenev (d otd 1883). He has a point, I think! “Nothing is worse and more hurtful than a happiness that comes too late. It can give no pleasure, yet it deprives you of that most precious of rights - the right to swear and curse at your fate!”

It's 16 years today since Lauren went to the farmer's market to get milk and eggs, and came home with milk, eggs, and a kitten. Happy Gotcha Day to the inimitable Matchka! May she be with us for years! #cats #catsoftwitter
