Nisqually national wildlife refuge is so much cheaper than therapy. I always feel so relaxed after waling on the boardwalk. Today we saw bald eagles, harbor seals, kestrel, a bazillion different types of water fowl, and a blue heron.

The russians proudly planted their flag near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, Ukraine—until a Ukrainian drone politely reminded it that it wasn’t welcome by promptly shooting it down. Moral of the story: The only flag getting VIP treatment in Ukraine is blue and yellow

Stephen Miller, Channeling Trump, Has Built More Power Than Ever
Stephen Miller was the architect of Donald J. Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda in his first term. Now he is back with fewer internal rivals and even more influence with the president.

Another disturbing thing is that Pam Bondi's PAC "And Justice for All" took a donation from Trump's supposed charity, and soon after that, Bondi decided not to prosecute the Trump University case.

Looking at the Speaker race causes me to develop a new theory. It is called micro-admissions. We know what micro-aggressions are. Small, hurtful cuts that cause cumulative damage. They happen every day and are evil. I submit that micro-admissions happen every day. Johnson: 216 Jeffries: 215
