We all knew, but ultimately he doesn’t care about the release of information because 1) he will lie about it and MAGA will believe him, and 2) he will proceed with deflection actions (some new “emergency” in a Blue part of the country, some international “crisis”), and the media will look that way.

He can’t pronounce "United States," so of course he can’t pronounce "Lesotho." And you know he just learned of this country because he immediately says, “which nobody’s ever heard of.”

My husband was limited to buying one dozen eggs at Trader Joe's this morning because of the nationwide shortage. And, egg prices are at an all-time high. What say you, maga?

Thank you all for your concern over my sister. When she was sent to jail, she just could not accept it. She swore, spit at us and became violent. As a result, the family have agreed never to play monopoly with her again.

I'd love for Canadians and Mexicans to rally behind their leaders and stop buying American-made products. T***p is a bully who relies on fear, chaos, and division. We can't let these be modes of governance. Don't give in. Retaliate. Rally others to your cause.

I miss Pete.
Pete Buttigieg: Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. 
Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

El migrante no es un delincuente es un ser humano que quiere trabajar y progresar, vivir la vida."Gustavo Petro: "They are Colombians, they are free and dignified and they are in their homeland where they are loved.

Report from the front lines on the matter of T***p giving us a steady supply of inexpensive eggs: I note that eggs are less available (no extra large or jumbo eggs at my local store) and more expensive (the large eggs are now more expensive than the jumbo eggs were a few weeks ago).

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.
WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

I feel something sharp in my throat, and I wasn’t even eating anything. I had already finished breakfast, and a few minutes later, I started feeling something sharp every time I swallow and it's not going away. It's not terribly painful, but it does hurt.

Question for my lady friends (or men who use this product): Can I trust buying Clinique liquid facial soap from Walmart? The price is a heck of a lot better than Macy's, Sephora, or Ulta, but I'm worried about getting a knockoff product because I have very sensitive skin.
