Being an adult is mostly saying “after this week things should calm down” until you die. I’ve been saying it since 2007. At this point I’m beginning to suspect there may not actually be a calm week. Just different themed disasters with occasional snacks.

Gotta love the mealy-mouthed Republicans who “doth protest too much” re the war with Iran, but when it comes to a Senate vote, blocked the war powers bill. Oh, and let’s not forget that John Fetterman was the lone Democrat to vote no.
