In #Philly I had my ID in 3 days. In #NC same day where I lived. #RealID is a terrible national security law. It does nothing. ID will not carry over to another state. Temp printout is useless for daily use.

Coming from say #Philly to #TN to obtain a Real ID card is slow. They gave us a temp paper printout to use however, #TSA will reject it and oddly I can drive a motor vehicle with the dank paper ID but, ask for a #Beer nope. It's been well over 10 days for them to print/send a hard ID.

I have some balance/mobility issues that lead to clumsiness. I want to be kind to the environment and save money. Thus, I ride a trike. Do I look like an adult toddler? Maybe. Do I give any 🖕😝🖕? Nope.
My Lectric XP2 trike when it first arrived. Safety first! Photo of me in my helmet. First day of riding. Very awkward. Very me.

and there it is -- Trump says that if the Supreme Court doesn't allow him to put his name on the Kennedy Center then it will close down for good
The Board of The Kennedy Center today agreed, almost unanimously, to close the Building for Safety reasons, and so that it can begin the process of Reconstruction. The closing will take place immediately, however, the Renovation and Reconstruction, which is a very large and complex job, cannot begin until such time as the D.C. Circuit rules on the Board’s approved name. If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be, and is not overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Reconstruction and the Renovation of The Kennedy Center will not take place. The attorneys from the DOJ will ask for an expedited appeal. In the meantime, 17 Million Dollars, raised by President Trump, has been put into The Kennedy Center account to keep it afloat. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The contractor said the pool’s new blue liner peeled and tore because of “human oversight” and a flawed plan that involved layering two incompatible chemicals, documents show.
