Many of the places under a tsunami warning or watch are *only* served by public broadcasting. Thanks to Congressional Repubs, including AK's Sullivan & Begich, the stations that disseminate warnings could run out of money to operate w/in a few months. Because who needs tsunami warnings, amirite?

What's happening with the United Clubs at ORD? Food is lesser quality/options. Dirty bathrooms. Even the robot is dirty now. The bar staff still doing well and remain friendly.

This past week I visited the library/archives at the Society of Cincinnati, the home of the American Revolution Insitute. Open to the public, and if you are a fan of US history I highly recommend.
George Washington sat for this work by Charles Peale in 1778. Considered to be most lifelike representation of Washington.

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

This is a clinic that deals with PTSD, or had? They stopped my care without informing me.... luckily I have about 15 days left and I have the resources to find care. What about others though? Very shitty and unprofessional by their management team.

Contact office. Very helpful attendant going to get me setup with another NP to keep continuity of care - sorry for the problem. Called back ten minutes later by him apologizing that the Director said I can no longer get care through them.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
