SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

I should have gone to the protest. Was shy of going by myself (that part of town and I haven’t always) and now I feel like I missed everything.

Bunch of legislators and cabinet secretaries just now forgot who George Santos was in time for interviews this weekend.

This is a powerful post by Laurene Powell Jobs on what is means to be a philanthropist and, more importantly, what it does not. Kudos to her for saying it so plainly.

Beware of philanthropists who want control in exchange for their giving, writes Laurene Powell Jobs.

I’m just worried that it’s going to make this year’s taxes super complicated here. Still going though.

Is he saying that to show solidarity with flat-earthers or something?

FullQuieting @fullquieting.bsky.social · 7d

I used to play trombone. Since I was a kid. I majored in Music in college. The only reason I don't play anymore is that there is nowhere I can practice. It's too loud.

Apropos of it's "after work" again. I have "time" to do "what I want to do".

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

As a record collector, I’ve got to admit it’s a benefit of streaming to be able to check out the Taylor Swift album without like, investing. This was my first Taylor Swift listen.

I liked the Ophelia song. Was disappointed that Father Figure wasn’t a George Michael cover though.
