When you think about it, it’s quite on brand for the GOP to seek to protect alleged pedophiles among them by preventing the truth from ever seeing the light of day.
Eh hmm, Jim Jordan (cough).

US Senators have called for a probe into Musk's contact with Russia, and Musk responded by saying that he's "going to find out who's making these accusations and nuke them.”
That’s a big problem when you don’t have a Justice Department.

Picked up some peonies at Harvest Market in Launceston yesterday, and supplemented them in the too-big vase with roses from my garden. I lack my mother’s flower-arranging skills, but I don’t mind the wildness, really. #flowers
