Also though, figure out how long you can walk to burn X amount of calories. There! Done! You want to eat that burrito!?/Cereal? How long do you have to walk to negate the calories?

Yeah.

Cereal is NOT the answer. I wish it was! (It has additives that make you crave MORE! (I do!)

Calories. That is the "secret." Find a weight calculator, Enter your weight, find out how many calories you need to maintain vs lose weight.

Look at labels. Profit!
Choose where to spend your calories.

"In 2022, Musk, who regularly promotes far-right content on his own account, purchased the social media site. He renamed it X and promptly restored the pages of a number of users who were banned under prior content moderation policies designed to curb hate speech."

At a press conference today, the mayor of Everett said there was a knife found in the child’s possession but *no* gun. I followed up with ICE and asked if they stand by the screenshot shared yesterday. Spokesperson said DHS was working on a response. Five hours later, still nothing.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
James

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

Is she talking about the young children missing because her goon squad dragged them naked & crying from their apartment complex or the 15-yr old girl they tackled & threw into an unmarked van the other day?

Pam Bondi repeatedly claims that finding one missing child "makes it all worthwhile" when it comes to military occupations of American cities and adds that "Pritzker should be begging Donald Trump to come in."

My libertarian twin still makes sure to use the R word when speaking with me at least once after a dramatic pause waiting for me to retaliate. This has been going on for years now with us.

2019 my twin was scared of Covid. All in on finding a vaccine. NOW? Nothing but conspiracy theories.

Even one restraining order for credible threats, harassment, or violence could be considered grounds for ethics investigations, censure, or calls to resign. Congressional rules and the House or Senate Ethics Committees don’t set a numeric limit. 😆

Yeah, this GOP House has few ethics.
