FYI this is the test Trump is bragging about “acing” 4 times It’s a fucking embarrassment that his handlers are still letting him gloat about this like it’s some extreme act of intellect

What would happen if the speaker of the house or someone in the line of succession was not a natural born citizen and the presidency fell to them?

I live in Oregon where state law says students must be taught "at their rate and level of learning". My child tested out of K that way. There was a mechanism for testing children at parents' request.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Portlander here. I didn't even know where the local ICE facility was until federal forces showed up today, and people are now scared to go near the neighborhood because of altercations that might happen *because* of their presence.

🧵 I was an Amazon shopper for years, but a few months ago I cancelled my account, and I’m finding that there are lots of benefits to doing so. Let me tell you why… Now, every time I want to buy something, I first go to Amazon and search the item. I see who’s selling it at the best price… +

After 18 years of loving cuddles, we made our final farewells to Houdini today. He was the most social cat I have ever known. He met guests at the door, visited everyone's laps, and would go under the sink to "help" the plumber. He will be missed. 💔
