Proud dad and mom moment. Surfin_Son is sailing on his own and has and has been cleared to race!
He got his first private lesson with a multi-time and multi-boat World Champion who happened to be Mrs. Surfin's long time coach as a kid yesterday.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Look, elected Dems like Schumer and Jeffries have gone into the Oval Office and given Trump actual material concessions and gotten rejected and beclowned. Mamdani’s just playing a different game. He didn’t have anything to negotiate. He just had to turn on the charm and it worked.

![It’s challenging to unpack the DOJ Letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

The idea that having cheap, delicious Italian pasta ‘dumped’ into the country is somehow something to be avoided cuts to the root of how absurd tariffs are
The U.S. is threatening to hit Italian pasta with a punitive antidumping tariff — and one company said it would have to double its pasta prices to keep up.
Tariffs on pasta from Italy could soon soar to more than 100%
A routine Commerce Department probe into alleged “dumping” resulted in crushing 100% tariffs on Italian pasta that leave exporters shouting “Basta!”
