for so many reasons, i'm so looking forward to this trip in 8 days. Also, my health journey is still going amazingly well. I got my bloodwork done per my dr's request and my A1C is at 5.4, down from 6.4 back in December. All my numbers were in the green range other than hemoglobin which was .1 low
In February, the Mrs and I will take a trip to Maui for sun and warmth and to escape the frigid Portland winter and I’m hoping I’ve lost more by then as well so the flight over can be comfortable and I’d be able to do things like snorkel and enjoy the ocean. 3/3

maddening. most immediately it likely doesn't matter what the vote total is, what we want is to eat up floor time, but by the same token it costs nothing to vote against every Trump nominee sight unseen, and politically it signals weakness and hesitation. idiots
UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.
The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec

These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.

In a couple days we're going to find out that a Trident submarine has exploded because a 20-year-old Elon minion who calls himself "Boner" accidentally erased the nuclear failsafes or something.

Tonight at my local OrangeTheory fitness class, our instructor gave a shoutout to the Resistance in light of the news of today involving student loans and grants being frozen. I couldn’t agree more that this makes a comeback as the anthem for Resistance. youtu.be/cUAP-fE81zs?...

I’m afraid to go to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow to see what the damage is overnight. This was my home for the first 35 years of my life where much of these fires are right now.
Holy crap. These boundaries encompass the Hollywood Bowl, the Dolby Theatre, the Capitol Records building, and the Chinese Theatre.

Pretty much every landmark when you think of Hollywood

For now, family is safe, I have my aunt and cousins who are somewhat close to the Hurst Fire and if it gets close to where they're at, there's a much bigger problem going on because that would torch quite a large amount of homes to get to Pacoima. My heart hurts for friends and family down there now

they laugh at us while our city burns. but somehow its the liberals who are always told they need to reach out and show more empathy to the other side while they celebrate natural disasters. trump is scum.

We know absolutely nothing about anything, and we’re ready to unleash the scourge of war over it.

God bless Jimmy Carter. For his and his family’s sake, I am grateful that he passed while Joe Biden was still president. He will have an appropriate, dignified, and heartfelt national memorial service—perhaps the last of its kind. As was he.

God speed, Mr. Carter.

I made a decision last month, right before Thanksgiving to actually get serious about my health. I was tired of being big, and wanted to really push myself to see if I could get healthy. I also asked my dr for Mounjaro as I’d been on ozempic for 6 months and my A1C didn’t change one bit. 1/

We need a moratorium on playoff elimination graphics featuring players and we should use photos of the owners instead.

I’ve worked social for a decade and can guarantee you that a Cowboys ELIMINATED graphic is gonna hit exponentially better if it has Jerry Jones’ face.

With the Commanders win, the Cowboys have been eliminated from playoff contention.
