I’m in coastal Virginia and I’m looking for a mail order source for bluet (H caerulea) plants and/or seeds. Any suggestions? 🌱

Bailing out Bessent’s billionaire friends on Wall Street from their bad investments is much more important.

I hope your mom is able to continue to receive adequate pain medication as long as necessary. I cared for my brother while he was in home hospice with bone cancer. I can’t begin to imagine him not having enough morphine. You and your mom are in our prayers.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Done and thanks. This troll only has 60 followers and is destined for the dumpster.

How about they don’t get paid when the Speaker sends them home or Congress shuts down?

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Remember how pissed off Trump got when we all said Elon Musk was really running the government? Let’s do that again with Stephen Miller.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.
