Don’t believe USPS is going to get your package there on any reasonable timeline. Love our postal workers, but the system they work in has been gutted.
Sent a priority mail package from RC to SF last Tuesday, expected delivery Saturday. It went to Denver, Omaha & today (Monday) it’s in KC 🤦🏼‍♀️

My choice for Senate Minority Leader!
klobuchar.senate.gov Senator Amy Klobuchar @klobuchar.senate.gov · 7d
Republicans in Congress have now voted THIRTEEN times against extending the health care tax credits.

That’s THIRTEEN votes to allow premiums to spike for millions.

Americans are already speaking out across the country. They want action—and that momentum will only grow.

America’s professional diplomats feel demoralized and ignored, with fully 98 percent saying in a new survey that workplace morale has fallen since the Trump administration took over in January.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody," one of them said. A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack - the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Trump is the most corrupt president in US history, and the openness of his corruption is an essential feature of it. It's particularly bad that this comes as Trump is using state power to punish Sen Mark Kelly for correctly warning against breaking illegal orders.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Nov 18
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
