There was a time, many years ago, when almost every waiter or waitress in NYC was Irish, all overstaying visas. It was never a thing.

I know the #Mormon community to be kind, generous and caring- for everyone in their community, not just Mormons. So, how they could elect someone like Mike Lee to represent them is at best perplexing, at worst infuriating. Mike Lee betrayed the good people of Utah, his professed religion, his office

I don't think Germans really appreciate what a difference Merz makes for Germany on the world stage. Getting the debt adjustment bill passed before he took office was massive and very, very clever in terms of appealing to several different audiences inside and outside Germany.

It really does seem like there's a spirit of comaraderie at #G7 among all non-Trump participants. Bonding, even. It's like they're treating Trump as some sort of senile old grandpa who just isn't with it. Accommodating him but not taking him completely seriously. It's a big, huge world out there!

Photo from The Hill's Al Weaver (from Xitter) catches Tina Smith confronting Mike Lee.
A photo taken in The Capitol, possibly just off the floor. Tina Smith, wearing black slacks and a maroon jacket, is facing off against Mike Lee, who is leaning towards her.

You'd think police would be outraged that a fanatic was impersonating them to carry out a political assassination. Have there been statements from any police chiefs around the country regarding the murders? This is devastating for public confidence in the police. #Boelter

#Boelter claimed to be strongly anti-abortion, but he didn't hesitate to make some children parentless. Clearly, he really cares about life, which can be said for all those rabid fanatics who blow up clinics, shoot doctors, harass patients, and invade their privacy. They care about life - their own.

Your jobs aren't less meaningful. They're more meaningful than ever, but it has to transition to personal face-to-face contact and interaction, either in a group or an individual context.

The sad part is on the other side of this equation, the students who aren't really learning to think, to reason, to question. They're turning themselves into automatons who simply regurgitate what AI developers have programmed. The ONLY solution is oral production and face-to-face interaction.

The Ukrainians didn't inform the US about their attack yesterday. Because they were afraid someone in the US administration would inform the Russians? Because they don't view US communications as secure? (From Russia or China) Because they view the US as more aligned with Russia than with #Ukraine?

But the private prison system that American taxpayers generously pay for made a lot of money off her! Three MONTHS! And the border agent who sent her into the system probably got an under-the-table finder's fee.

Let's be honest. Eastern Europe is becoming increasingly authoritarian because that's what those people know and like the best, especially men and people outside the cities. They miss the all-powerful leader to maintain status quo, keep the right people in and the wrong people out! Trump people!!
