Can I pretend that only 41% means we are in the process of becoming another country?

I know it but do appreciate the reminder.

You may be right!

I get it for tariffs. Silly for the markets to be so shortsighted but it’s easy for Trump to β€œundo” some ridiculous tariff number he threw out and things are mostly back to what they were before.

I think it is harder to hit the β€œundo” button with Iran after what we just did there.

Doubling down on that β€œfather in law era” thing, I see.

Yikes! I know someone who has PSU on their list of potentials. Thanks for sharing.

Ugh.

Maybe I am playing with fire but what if, instead:

Living life ruled by clocks is brutal. It is the dumbest thing we do.

Careful, Kara. Hunter seems quite mercurial about DST at the moment!

The morning of β€œSpring Forward” is a sensitive time for a lot of people and it might be best to point this out in another week or two.

Mike Johnson would like to reminder everyone that we are not at war.

Yes, most likely.

But β€œmost likely” is a wild way to enforce a(n already awful and unjust) law.

Andrea is not a gendered name so I presume they’re flagging anyone who changes their first name.

> The name Andrea is a boy's name of Italian origin meaning "strong and manly".

Q. In the top of our story, we talk about the rally you attended in Managua and a wire report at the time said that there were anti-American chants from the crowd.
The United States at that time - I don't know how much you know about this β€” was actively supporting the Contras to overthrow the government. So that there's anti-American sentiment? I remember that, I remember that event very clearly.
You do recall hearing those chants? I think the wire report has them saying, "Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die." hey were fighting against American -- Huh huh--yes, what is your point?
I wanted to β€”β€”
Are you shocked to learn that there was anti-American sentiment?
My point was I wanted to know if you had heard that.
I don't remember, no. Of course there was anti-American sentiment there. This was a war being funded by the United States against the people of Nicaragua. People were being killed in that war.
Do you think if you had heard that directly, you would have stayed at the rally?
I think Sydney, with all due respect, you don't understand a word that I'm saying.

Would be interested in a primary voter guide from you, TBH.

Wrong AI CEO, though. Altman/Open AI/ChatGPT will be the next round.

Why isnβ€˜t this one of the featured stories about Iran right now in US media?

I mean, I have my theories.

It does to me but I am not an expert bee identifier but iNaturalist and other sites do have bee experts who will ID them. I think Rusty Patch zone does not extend to Colorado.

That might be a Bombus huntii instead, but does have similar markings. There are so many types of bees!

I saw a bumble buzzing around my daffodils yesterday. Unfortunately they don’t have much nectar and it’s too early for my native plants to be in bloom.

I know I am registered because I get my voter guide mailed to me well in advance of the election followed by my ballot. (Colorado)

I’ve β€œlost” my (still living) parents. It hurts. Always will.

Yes! Pretzeling theological justifications for their own chosen lifestyle while seeking to deny others any lifestyle choice.

And some, I assume, are good people. πŸ™ƒ

I appreciate the overall direction but we need better than this from you right now, Rep. Neguse.
