That's been happening for a long time. A box of oranges from Costco sometimes has one rotten/moldy one hidden in the bottom row. Likely intentional. Fresh produce spends too much time on hot loading docks or uncooled spaces. Mold appears as soon as next day after purchase.

If Poland is doing the right thing, why aren't we in America? If trump's DOJ won't do anything, next year after Dems retake the House, hire the best federal prosecutors that quit or were fired by trump and form a large prosecution team answering only to Congress. Wall off trump & the DOJ.

A 5 on one of the more difficult words we've had in a while (for me at least). Congrats to all of the 3s, you had to have one of the key consonants in your starters. I used up miles of scratch trials and 45 minutes. Ugh!

One of my sucky Senators, two-faced Ted! The other formerly more moderate Senator Cornyn is going all out for Islamophobia to try to save his seat. Texas conservative politics are fucking disgusting. There's not an honest person in the whole bunch of Texas GOP, local, state or federal.

I hope we can see a class-action lawsuit against trump, musk and the GOP for doing this to American citizens. Bankrupt their corruption to place a large cash payout for our loss of personal security. They all deserve to end up penniless.

Far right GOP politicians like Rep. Chip Roy are being attacked by even more extreme right-wing nuts. Sen. Ted Cruz is openly backing US House candidates before the primary instead of waiting for the primary smoke to clear. This could all backfire with Trump's falling approval ratings.

Texas primary politics has taken a surreal turn. TV ads are openly Islamophobic including Sen. John Cornyn. Most all GOP candidates are doubling down on Trump with a Texas Attorney General candidate calling himself Maga Mayes Middleton.
