Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

Sigh.
DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files
DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files
The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November.

We just got an $11k medical bill today from Dan’s procedure last year and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with this. I thought we were paying on it all year? Why does the website say we owe nothing? Where is our insurance cap? How is this even real?

Sometimes I think about the (probably) haunted horror hotel that was the Hyatt with the rotating restaurant in Kansas City and I give myself the willies. Truly a poster child for the consequences of unregulated capitalism.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I was happy because I splurged on a new bottle of nail polish and then I realized saying I “splurged” on a $10 bottle of nail polish is just sad. In my list of things I’ll do when I’m magically rich, I’m just going to buy a bottle of nail polish like a normal person.

So like, is Hillary divorced yet? Because if I were Hillary, I’d definitely be divorced by now. Mm-mm. I don’t care how long ago it was, if you were on that plane or on that island, into the bin you go.

Over on threads, I keep getting random posts showing up warning of something big/not good about to happen. People saying they’re having premonitions and such. Maybe I’ve accidentally tapped into woo-woo threads by liking cat pics, idk, but the fact that I’ve seen more than one weirds me out.

The best day will be when the next person rips all of this crap off, puts everything back and smudges the whole building. They could even make a reality show, “Deshittifying the White House” or something, and Retta could host it. As much as I hate reality shows, I’d love every second of that.

Ugh. I’m losing control of the house and laundry. The washing machine drain is super clogged and we’re gonna get a plumber in, but in the meantime, everything’s a mess and I feel less than sane.

Dan’s out of commission with a bad back for who knows how long and I’m back to running the house by myself again. It feels weird and is definitely not the refreshing of our bedroom walls we had planned for our 15th anniversary vacation week.
