So happy to see this (although I feel bad she felt she had to do it). Thank you, Dolly!

The last time Congress passed a full budget on time was in the last century. If they can’t do better than this, they’ve got to go. #shutdown

From USAFacts.com: “But planning for the financial future of the country can be rife with political tensions and potential government shutdowns. In fact, Congress hasn’t passed a full budget on time since fiscal year 1997.” Also shown, the United States Capitol, where literally nothing gets done.

I want everyone, even those who I despise, to have healthcare. I want everyone, even republicans, to be able to afford food and housing. I want everyone, even those on the right who actively work to build the opposite, to live in a place that is safe from violence.

My family lived in Galveston in 1900; E.S. Levy & Co. was our family business. My grandfather was born in 1911, and he was always so proud of the engineering feats that permitted him and his own family to live and thrive in (relative) safety on the island. I wish we could be so forward-thinking now.

Great fans in Baltimore. Gave Yamamoto a standing ovation after he left the game when he lost the no-hitter after 8.2 innings.

Great baseball town.

This is great. Maryland - home to NIH, FDA, and other agencies concerned with public health - should call up Pennsylvania and start an alliance next. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

#ThisDayInHistory August 29, 1948–Jackie Robinson hits for the cycle against the St. Louis Cardinals. It remains one of only ten “reverse” cycles in baseball history, in which a player records a home run, triple, double, and single in that specifc order. The Dodgers win 12-7.

The Tibetan Freedom concert at old RFK in DC where a concertgoer unfortunately got hit by lightning on day one? (Truly epic lineup, and the only time I got to see the Beasties and Tribe)

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

“It has led here, to this moment, where all three branches of the GOP-controlled government have been willing to torch the republic and democracy that generations of elected officials and citizens have tended for 249 years simply to please Donald Trump and avoid running afoul of his temper.”

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
