Just called my senators, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, and was able to leave a voicemail for them to vote AGAINST the #SAVE Act. Call your senators.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

How drunk was Pete when they had that little powwow? My guess … off his rocker.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Prime Minister Carney will travel to France and the United Kingdom to strengthen trade and defence ties with reliable partners. He will then travel to Nunavut to bolster Canada’s Arctic sovereignty and to unlock the North’s full economic potential. #Canada

"The halftime show was boring." Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Understandable. I was in my 30s and was a military spouse with a newborn left for 2 years with deployments. Our personal experiences shape our perceptions of the past.

📍ZERO MARGIN—GOP majority Congress now LESS than <1 vote after Rep Waltz resigns to become Trump NSA. Meanwhile, Rep Mike Turner also refusing to vote after removal as Intel Comm chair. Thus, 218-215 GOP House margin down to 217-215, meaning 1 more vote defection leaves a tie.

Trump could not even close his eyes for the prayer for him. Because of course he thinks he is god.
