Something I wish we adults spoke more about is how challenging it is to create a dinner

Not cooking one, but choosing what foods to put together, what will taste good together, nutritional value and you’ll actually eat while on a budget

Q - Why, given all the terrible things happening in the world, do people care about this?

A - Micro-analysis: They see it as an example of government overreach and bureaucratic cruelty towards an independent farm. Macro-analysis: The world is getting dumber every day.

this is where responsible journalists need to say "This U.S. Senator is lying to you. Barack Obama took office in January 2009, and this happened in 2008. You are welcome to look it up yourself literally anywhere if you don't take my word for it."

Holy shit -- Markwayne Mullin insists later in the interview again that Obama oversaw actually oversaw the sweetheart deal with Epstein, even after Tapper (accurately) fact-checked him. Yikes.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
